Manhunt 2 is always the brutal gore fest some are making it out to be. Well, it can be a brutal gore fest or not. It's up to the player! Magazine NGamer got a hands on the title, pointing out:

The final level you see depends on how you played the game - there are two completely different ones.
Without giving away too much of the surprise, if you play the way most gamers probably will - getting as many red executions and environmental kills as possible, wasting as many enemies as possible and trying out new weapons on the occasional tramp or other innocent - you'll get the 'dark' final level and a slightly gloomy ending.
To lighten things up a little (not much, though) try playing in a more cowardly way - if you do executions, go for white ones, and leave innocents alive. The less you resemble a psychopathic killer who actually enjoys performing amateur surgery with a pair of pliers, the fewer points you'll score in the end-of-level ratings and the more chance you'll have of seeing a 'positive' ending.

So, let me get this straight. A game which punishes people for being violent and rewards them for not being violent has been deemed unsuitable and unacceptable? Just think: right now, if people wouldn't have freaked out, we'd be patiently waiting for Manhunt 2's release. Thanks for freaking out, folks!
