Manhunt 2 released

Halloween! it’s here! say hello to my little friend, Leo Kasper. Some lucky dudes. have already got their hands on the PSP and PS2 version of Manhunt 2. What a prick! It’s supposed to be out already, but we all know that some stores haven’t got their copies yet. I’ve already got my hands on it.

The picture see on the right is a screenshot of Manhunt 2’s first mission, Awakening. In the game, you start with no weapons. Later, you will be given a syringe and pen in the form of pickups. You can also replenish your health with medicine, just like in the original Manhunt. In the second mission, Ghosts, you will be given weapons of other classes such as crowbars, plastic bags and bricks, all of which were present in the original Manhunt. Later in the game, firearms will be available.

The story of Manhunt 2 is pretty much different from the original Manhunt. Basically, Manhunt 2 starts with Danny Lamb (previously called Daniel Lamb in the AO version), your untypical main character who, amazingly, is afraid of killing people. He was part of the failed “Pickman Project” which left him in serious mental illness.

Danny lived in San Fierro, San Andreas and worked as a research associate in McKenzie Druchner, Inc. Later, he was admitted to Dixmor Hospital, an asylum. One night, a thunderstorm caused Dixmor Hospital’s security system to break down and as a result, Danny and his associate Leo Kasper managed to escape from the hospital premise. A manhunt was later ordered on both Leo and Danny, and they have to fight to survive.

The PSP game controls for Manhunt 2 are easy to operate, although certain buttons are repeated. For example, the right d-pad button, the right analog stick button and the R trigger all cause Danny to strafe right if he is hugging a wall. Besides that, the controls are relatively well-planned out, compared to other PSP games.

The game is not as scary as the original Manhunt, but it sticks closely to the original idea of a survival horror/stealth game. GameSpot mentioned that It’s not as shocking as you’d expect, but Manhunt 2 still satisfies your primal instincts. Also, Manhut 2 features compelling stealth mechanics that require real skill, like the original Manhunt.

Manhunt 2 is quite addictive, I admit. Although, it isn’t as addictive as Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Besides, Manhunt 2 only got a 7.5 score on GameSpot. Maybe it’s because the game was reworked on as a result of the “Adults Only” rating by the ESRB initially? I don’t know, but you should play Manhunt 2 if you’re a big fan of Horror, Violence or Rockstar Games.
