Manhunt 2 Confirmed for Wii

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-sick dept.

Of all the licenses I expected to see on the Wii, the ultra-violent Manhunt title was not one of them. Coming to the 'next-gen alternative' trifecta of PSP, PS2, and Wii this summer is Manhunt 2 (not to be confused with the Sierra Manhunter adventure game series). The followup to the violent Rockstar title from 2003 will 'push game design and storytelling forward', sticking close to the original's dark suspense/stealth motifs.

    The thumbnail I saw of a screenshot of it looked rather creepy.

    I'm holding out for Maneater 2

    And by "push game design and storytelling forward", they mean "piss off Jack Thompson".

    So now I can brutally murder innocent civilians with seemingly innocuous objects in six degrees of freedom.

      I'd imagine you could use the wiimote and the nunchuck thingie to strangle someone by holding them as a wire over s/o neck and pulling hard.

    >>Maybe when one of the big Wii titles finally does get released the old Wii hype will return for me but right now I feel like someone who get smashed and ended up with some skank and am now sobering up realizing what I've done.

    At least you didn't spend a lot of money on that skank, and she's still fun your when friends come over and have their way with her.
