Featuring several gameplay upgrades and an all-new story, Manhunt 2 is the tale of a young doctor named Daniel Lam. To keep his well-paying job and satisfy the needs of his wife and two children, Daniel becomes a guinea pig for underground research after the funding is pulled for Project Pickman. Unfortunately for Daniel, the experiments on his body go wrong and he is sent to spend the rest of his life in Dixmore Asylum. Six years later, Daniel still shares his space with the criminally insane and wonders if his previous life existed at all. After an electrical storm knocks the power out at the asylum and the prisoners take control, Daniel leaves the institution to uncover the mysteries of his past and why he can't remember anything about himself. Gamers lead Daniel through several different locations to discover his previous life while sneaking past enemies and using objects in the environment to defeat any aggressors. Players learn how to move and kill while escaping from the asylum. As in the previous release, gamers can follow targets silently and activate more impressive kill animations by waiting for the cursor to turn from white to red. Unfortunately, hiding in the shadows is no longer a sure way to safety, and gamers may find themselves engaging in a quick mini-game in order to avoid detection if enemies catch them moving around in the darkness

Rating: Time with product: Strengths: ambiance (use headphones) Weaknesses: too easy to kill w/guns, bad AI, weird stealth function Summary: Picked it up on sale after reading some reviews about the previous Manhunt title. Wanted a pick up and go version on the PSP. It?s an ok game overall, lots of sneaking around messy environments, a few guns here and there, lots of enemies. The only thing I really didn?t care for is the hiding in shadows function. You have to hit a certain sequence of facebuttons to stay hidden, it was a bit odd and didn?t seem to fit in with trying to hide. I?m still on the fence about this title, wouldn?t recommend to kids. |

Rating: Time with product: 3 Days Strengths: Sound design is top notch (although I recommend headphones) Weaknesses: Not as scary or foreboding as the first Manhunt. There is no character that matches Pigsy (One of the more memorable villians of the first game) Summary: First off, I do not recommend this at all for the kiddies. Even though some of the scenes have been censored, its still a sick and violent game. Its rife with bad taste and it will only appeal a certain segment of the population. Still...after playing my neighbors copy for awhile, it convinced me to buy this game for myself. |
