The first was so bad and disgusting in both gameplay and theme that it was embarrasing to play.   I expect the sequal to stink worse than manure.

More gratuitous violence is my guess.  Some people just like playing really violent games, and Manhunt is about as violent as they come.

Jack Thompson hates it, therefore I must have it.

 

 

But on a more serious note, it's probably due to the fact ManHunt2 is being developed *for* the PS2 (and Wii..), rather than being a watered-down port from the higher-end consoles.

(Splinter Cell series anyone?)

I agree. I'm not easily offended, but that game was a little much for me. As for the second one, I'm mildly intrigued as to how it will pan out for the Wii. I probably won't buy it, but it's good to see a 3rd party developer making a game that might make innovative use of the Wii controls.

Okay first off, Manhunt 2 isnt a hyped game, second i have never found any game offensive. I dont see how anyone can view this game as offensive, if you play a game where you kill people, its the same thing. Your murdering someone, sure MH is brutal, but it has the same end result, death. But im a fan of the stealth genre, and this is going to be a great game. If this game didnt have stealth i probably would ignore it. But i love a game that uses patience and strategy. So yah im buying it...

This is probably gonna be the last great game for the PS2.  I thought the first Manhunt was decent.  The killing moves were awesome, story line was good, good AI, good graphics, etc.  The only bad thing is you use stealth a lot in the game.  Plus the game gets harder as you progress into the next level.

It is a manufactured hype. The first game was pretty bad and people tended to only play it for the extreme violence.

The first one wasn't that fun to me for some reason, even though the violence was great....

 So all I have to say is....meh....

The first one wasn't so good, IMO.

But I guess people are exited about it because it is likely to be the last original sequel made for the PS2...

Manhunt was a great game, so why not be hyped for the second?

No hard feelings, but I seem to remember that you replied the following in my first topic on the PS2 forum:

Not interested in GOW? Is the Blood and Violence too much for ya? Yeah, its a long way coming from stepping on happy faced mushrooms in Mario(gay plumber). I would have to say u should stay away from ps2 if u dont liek gow. Most of ps2's best games are rated M and that might be too scary for a nintendo fanboy.Blade_of_Athens

So of all people, I guess you should know why people are excited about this game :?  Manhunt is like the M-est game out there.
