Manhunt 2

Manhunt 2 is a video game developed by Rockstar Games, and the sequel to 2003's Manhunt. The game was released in North America for the Wii, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable on October 31, 2007. It was originally scheduled for release in July, but it was suspended by Take-Two due to a rating rejection in the United Kingdom and Ireland and an AO rating in the United States for being too violent. On August 24, it was announced that Rockstar submitted a modified version of the game, which was re-rated with an M by the ESRB and allowed for an October 31, 2007 release date in North America.It was, however, released in some stores on October 29, 2007.

This modified version was again rejected by the BBFC; Rockstar won its appeal against this rejection on December 10, 2007, but the BBFC challenged that decision through the courts.On January 25, 2008 the BBFC won their case in the High Court that the game had been approved for release on a misinterpretation of the law. The VAC however approved the game for release a second time on March 14.

Gameplay

Similar to the first Manhunt, players perform "executions" in three deadly shades - Hasty (white) Violent (yellow) and Gruesome (red)

-Firearms can now be used for executions.

-A new feature to executions in the game are the environmental kills, which can be used to eliminate an opponent. For example, you can push an enemy face-first into a live fuse box, use telephone cords to strangle an enemy or you can beat an enemy to death in a toilet.

-Loud ambient noises can now be exploited by the player to drown out their foes.

-When hiding in shadows, if an enemy comes close to the playable character, the player will have to mimic a combination of buttons or motions in order to regulate the character's breathing to ensure that he remains calm and undetected. In the Wii version, the player must hold the controller completely still.

-Climbing and crawling have been included to increase exploration and exploitation of new hiding places.

-The player can smash lights to create extra pockets of shadow to be used for hiding.

-Some lights are provided with a motion sensor that activates when detecting movements in front of it, forcing the player to investigate the dark corners before taking advantage of them.

-"Jump Executions" can be performed from a higher platform.
