Every time I mention I haven't played it someone tells me "You've gotta try it". It's time I take the advice I've heard over and over.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> i feel that this game is going to be a 'guilty pleasure', something that i will play but the entire time thinking how f*d up it is.

hopefully it will show developers the potential of the wii's control scheme and allow for more creative use in the future.

due to the interactivity, could this be pushed into the forbidden 'AO' rating realm?

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @Tarislar: In answer to your second post, a lot of people, myself included just find outrageously, over-the-top violence funny and fun. It's like making a joke about a cleveland steamer or turkish snowcone if you will. No one in their right mind is actually into that stuff, it's just so out there that anyone with a decent sense of humor can't help but chuckle a little bit at the ridiculousness of it all.
"you can use pliers to remove an enemy's balls, taking with it a piece of lower vertebrae."
You are right, this doesn't add to gameplay at all but it does add to the entertainment value of the game for a specific and apparently large niche. It's not for eveybody and it doesn't sound like it's for you, but I don't post under Viva Pinata articles complaining that the game is too cute.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> Whilst I don't think the game is vile or repugnant, I feel no need for me to play this. I'm not against killing people in computer games and quite happily shoot old grannies legs off in Vice City, but I don't really want to play a game where my sole remit is to kill.

I also think developers are pushing the interaction of the Wii too far. On the PS2 you're pushing buttons with your thumb, on the Wii you're slicing someones neck by waiving your arm around, to me that's a big difference and my main reason for really not wanting this game.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> I'm buying this game just in spite of JT.

Sure knowing, he'll have something else to say when it releases, since he has already spewed his mouth off about this; for putting Nintendo characters into their kid's meals because they're from the same system this game is being released on.

I can't wait what we have to laugh at, next.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> I can't wait to play this game on me wii! I had the first one on my Xbox and though the AI was rubbish, I absolutely loved it! I'm a big horror movie fan and I love the gory stuff.

It's extremely satisfying executing those kills. I'm no psycho. No doubt the papers here (UK) will be all over it like they were the last one, when somebody murdered 1 or 2 people after playing it. The usual Scapegoat stuff.

Suck my balls Thompson. I'm a gamer not a killer. I hold down a 9-5. what I do in my spare time is up to me. Bring it on...

MAXLIFO

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> Ok, I'm not trying to defend JT with his scaremongering and attention-whoring.

I just have to ask, what is it about excessively violent games that attracts people? I mean, quote: "you can use pliers to remove an enemy's balls, taking with it a piece of lower vertebrae." This is a selling point? This adds to the gameplay how?

Ok, so shock factor... sure, I see that, but after that? Are you guys all ogrish.com fanatics or something?

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> I can't imagine what Suda 51 will have in No More Heroes to top this. How do you beat castration with power tools?

Anyway, I think Wii need a new GTA more than Manhunt, personally, but I'm glad to know that us Nintendo fans are getting the definitive version.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> I am very much in love with this game already. Not unlike the first. It will be even better on the Wii!

miss_ali1984

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> you can use pliers to remove an enemy's balls, taking with it a piece of lower vertebrae. the game also lets you use a saw blade to cut up into an enemy's groin and buttock area.

that is totally fucked up.

thats not exactly quoted but i borrowed it from an IGN preview by matt casamasina.

FlapDangerous

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> The best part of the godfather blackhand ed. was strangling someone with the wii controls. Bringing your hands together with your arms tensed to shaking is the most realistic gesture control I've seen on the wii. I hope Manhunt 2 uses well-thought-out controls and avoids the flacid-handed flailing nonsense. Really, this makes me realize that the wiimote would have been perfectly immersive with _directional_ force feedback... I guess there's always next generation.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> Jesus, is this game going to be good.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to buy at least 13 copies of this game as my personal "F YOU!!" to Thompson.

Gamemaster

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @RonJeremy4Pres: I thought the original was brilliant. It had this hellish, scary B-movie atmosphere and made you play as a true anti-hero: a convicted killer plucked from death row. The gore was excessive but it made sense that your character would be brutal and would improvise (bag over the head, hammer to the face, etc.) I also point to "The Warriors" as proof that Rockstar has plenty of substance beneath the shock.

Cloaca

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @RonJeremy4Pres: Rent it. I really enjoyed Manhunt - had a great atmosphere as well as being brutally violent. I managed to score it before it got banned here in Australia.

@Runna: You LOL at depressing games?

kibibu

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @harkonnen: So true So true...

Yet you would really have to have some thing wrong with you to make some one at nintendo play test this for quality...LOL

What ever happened to cool stuff all this gross mess is boring... Hell 28 days later the game would be better than this... why wasn't this made!

Runna

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> WOW this will be more of a comdey than a game ... so what happens if you don't preform the head cutting move right...LOL

Man how depressing is this game...LOL I hope it at least interesting in some kind of way.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @Sparkamus:

Its a good thing I didn't buy it for first party M games. I don't even mind that lack of M rated games. I don't need blood to have fun. Its just the ignorant perception that developers can't bring M stuff to the Wii (or other Nintendo consoles) because Nintendo will cockblock them.

harkonnen

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @Tarislar: I'll bet you a million tht Nintendo will do almost anything to make sure the game as is. I think Nintendo has FINALLY figured out that it needs to go after all types of gameres. They know they have to survive know and will gladly accept "M" rated games, because they need to keep building their consumer base. They want to say it's a console for kids, grandparents, and people that love gore. Nintendo might not say it publicly... but they do want and need titles like this.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @harkonnen:
You're right. It is the game developers fault for treating the Wii like a "kiddie" console.

Particularly Wii's most prolific developer: Nintendo.

harkonnen

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> For the last time, its the publishers that treat Nintendo like a kiddie console, not Nintendo. Resident Evil 4, Eternal Darkness, Conker's Bad Fur Day. They're not blocking shit. Aside from whatever happened with Mortal Kombat, they never have.

Please make a note of it.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @Tarislar: I happen to really like Rockstar's outrageous style, as a matter of fact, more than their actual games. I've never even played San Andreas. Oh well, to each his own.

@Sparkamus: LOL!!!

I'm REALLY sorry if this is a double post...I have been having some sort of a tech problem on this site recently and don't know why it's happening or even how to explain it.

RonJeremy4Pres

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> They really need a Wii commercial for Manhunt 2, and it needs to be just like the one for Wii Sports.

The two Japanese men show up at a family's front door, and then they proceed to stab, dismember, disembowel, and suffocate hapless victims...together. It also *must* have the very up beat Wii commercial music playing.

Sparkamus

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> I've tried many times to rent the original Manhunt. I've been told that it's super-kick-ass violent, but isn't a great game. I hope Manhunt 2 for Wii turns out well. It's one of those games I just WANT to like.

RonJeremy4Pres

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @Falsoman:

I don't even think Nintendo would want to kill it. They've gotten a reputation for catering to the younger gamers in recent years, and I think they're going to try and break that with the Wii. Kotaku reported a while back that Nintendo was trying to get Rockstar to release Grand Theft Auto on the Wii.

As it stands, the Wii is attracting pretty much everyone but the "OOOOOH hawt bump mapz!1!11" crowd (i.e. the stereotypical Halo moron). They need games that cater to that group of gamers. If Nintendo can attract enough companies willing to release the games, the motion controlls and the interactivity that comes with it should do the rest.


As for Manhunt 2, I'm going to rent it. The Godfather's motion controls were well done, so it'll be interesting to see how Rockstar's control scheme matches up with it.

Legacy

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> @Tarislar: i think you would lose those 5 dollars. The game comes on july. I really don't think nintendo is able or even can afford to "kill" this game...

Any how, i'm curious about this game, i'm not gonna buy it but i know a friend that definatly will, so i will try it... i never play the first one nor many stealth games, for that matter. But i'm definatly interested.

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> Sorry if i double post... i think internet just ate my comment.

There's a hands on on IGN for the wii version... and the details are pretty gory, they say that you can cut someone's head and you have to do timed movements with the nunchuck and remote to performe the killings. Once you cut the head of someone you can wear it on your belt and walk around with it...

They also said that the game is gonna get some effects on the wii that the PS2 version won't have, like realistic blood splatters and bruising (is that how it's wriiten?). And that there are gonna be like 30 weapons, 3 of them exclusive to the wii.

They also said something about being able to perform some "enviropmental killings" where you electrocute someone by sticking his head on a breaker or something...

And i think you'll be able to saw someone on half and cut his testicules.

So the gore is gonna be there.

Falsoman

]]> <![CDATA[Some Manhunt 2 Wii Controls]]> 5 bucks says Nintendo doesn't have the stones to release this as is and either kills it or makes Rockstar tame it down a bit.

Personally I'm getting a bit tired of Rockstar's attention whoring. Yes, violent video games! Kill people, screw hookers, commit crimes. Ok, done! Can we please look for another selling point guys?

See if you can make something and sell it without going for shock value.
