Worth Buying!

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2010

Style: Nintendo WiiVerified Purchase

I bought this game two years ago, and I have to say I've gotten a wii especially for this game. It's too bad it didn't come for xbox 360, but speaking from all of the terrible games that are for the wii, this would probably have to be the best one. Even the new super mario brothers was a bit childish.

If you were a fan of Manhunt 1, hands down you will enjoy this game. The shooting parts are kind of difficult. I haven't been able to complete it as of yet, but that's because it is also a true challenge. It is still very enjoyable though. It makes you want to keep playing. The graphics and gameplay have greatly improved over the first one. In the beginning, you're needing to escape from the mental hospital and I think that setting is perfect and 'scary' enough in itself. When you're gone, you continue to go through a series of episodes that take place in various settings. Basically, to move on you need to complete your goal (which is basically getting as far as you need to, and killing all of those who need to be killed). What I would suggest though is to try the first one (I've bought the first manhunt for pc originally. Plays really well.), and then go out and try this game. You will love it. It is very adult oriented (I think I've learned the word 'deviant' from the Sexual Deviants mission, haha) but overall I think it is a very good play. Very worth it for the price you can get it at now.

Game Intelligently

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2013

Style: PC DownloadVerified Purchase

Despite not aging well since being an early Wii game and a generally old PC game, the graphics could use a bit of work compared with the advancements Rockstar has made between the first Manhunt and it's sequel. Shadows leave a lot to be desired, but why are you nitpicking for graphics in a game that was made for a non graphics-heavy system? Animations are pretty stiff and pretty odd with the idio-synchronous camera having fits while you're trying to look skyward, and the silly cover mechanic is ludicrous in the midst of a generally stealth-based game.

The controls are a tad janky, seeing as the developers probably had gamepads in use/mind. Blocking isn't as useful as it should be for multi-target combat, and is a general waste mano-a-mano. Some of the primary attacks are pretty outlandish, the "don't move the mouse" quick-time event is ridiculous and hyper-sensitive to the gentlest breeze over the mouse, and the artificial intelligence is dim-witted and rather predictable.

The story has a few holes, but as it stands is mostly comprehendable to someone not familiar with the Manhunt series. The execution system in this game is viceral, brutal, and in most cases pretty unnerving. The fact that it's uncensored for the PC edition should be a CLEAR indicator that this game is NOT to be neither taken heavily nor played by anyone who does not have a fully developed frontal lobe. Critical thinking skills come in handy, as well as a somewhat twisted sense of humor.

On its own, this game is worth a once-over every now and again to stave off the ol' rage dwelling within, but as stated before, is NOT meant to be played by youngins NOR taken without a grain of salt. Don't let bad graphics and somewhat poor gameplay ruin your "ideal" game!

How to get Manhunt 2 to work on windows 10!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2016

Style: PC DownloadVerified Purchase

This game is a classic!!! I purchased this game knowing I probably wouldn't get it to work on windows 10 but I did and want others with windows 10 who would love to have this game know how to get it to work. So I will tell them. 1). After you get the game installed on your computer you are going to right click on the shortcut for the game on your desktop. 2). Then you are going to click on "open file location". 3). After that you are going to right click on the main application of the game (and it should already be highlighted) and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility" 4). Then it is going to scan for problems and come up with 2 different choices, one is going to be "try recommended settings" and the other is "troubleshoot program". You are going to click on "try recommended settings". 5). After you click on that it will ask you to test the program in a windows vista compatibility mode and just click on the "test the program" button and the game should boot right up (at least it did for me and I am doing it again for the second time as I'm typing this). 6). After you exit your working manhunt 2 game just click the "next" button on the troubleshooter and it will ask you if you want to keep the settings for the program so the next time you try to run the program it will run smoothly or if it didn't work for you you can try a different setting. Just click "save these settings for this program" and the next page will tell you everything it fixed and just close the troubleshooter. And now your PC copy of the AO (Adult Only) version of Manhunt 2 should now be working smoothly for your windows 10 software whenever you click to start it. Hope this helped most of you reading this. Enjoy!
