This does NOT live up to the hype!!

User Rating: 5 | Manhunt 2 PS2
With an extremely solid outing on the 1st go 'round, 1 would expect a level-up continuation of a budding morbid franchise. This time, I was definitely wrong! The controls on this are nowhere near as tight as the original. The camera shots & angles are nowhere near as good. The graphics have not graduated from the 1st outing. Although, that can be viewed as a not-so-bad thing, coupled with bad camera shots, makes this a hard look. Manhunt is a game of patience; but, with very loose controls, it becomes real easy to lose your patience with the game. More than half of the time, while stalking my prey, my character ended up swinging & being heard, instead of holding his weapon for execution. I spent more time in fist fights than I did stalking. The narration of the story is surprisingly good, & the game's audio is very good. All in all, this is a bargain bin buy, & truly NOT worth 1st run money.
