Manhunt 2 Coming to Wii

From Rockstar

Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. is proud to announce Manhunt 2 for the PlayStation 2 system, PSP system, and Nintendo's Wii(TM). Manhunt 2 is the debut title from the newly formed Rockstar London studio, which is developing the game in conjunction with series creator Rockstar North. The Wii(TM) version is being developed by Rockstar Toronto. Manhunt 2 will be available this summer.

Personally, I believe this is huge. With Rockstar jumping on the Wii bandwagon, this definately is another BIG step in those strong rumours of a Wii GTA. This is just going to make the Wii all the more stronger, and will help win over the 'mature casual' that only stick with Playstation for GTA.

Anyway, think of all the possibilities right now both in game controls and also the gaming world pretty much walking into this one with Jack Thompson.

Wii + violent games will probably be very strongly attacked by JT since you can actually act out the moves to kill someone (or do other things to people I won't mention). The last thing I want is Wii becoming known as the most violent console, Playstation deserves to keep that title.

Well, it would be pretty hypocritical not to have a few violent or so called 'mature' games on Wii, sine Nintendo is touting it as a console everybody can enjoy.

I really need to get that game for the Wii. I have the first one and with the controller it was fun but with the Wiimote it'll be even better.

plus its good i enjoy voilent games to unleash anger sometime just imagine punching slaping and stabing some guy with the wiimote and of course shooting

Well, if you were specifically talking about Manhunt 2 for the Wii, you don't get to use guns that often. Well, that's how it was in the first one. It was a very small chance that you'd be able to use a gun. The game is mostly stealth which is exactly how I like it.

[bignds]

Yeah, Manhunt was mostly a stealth game anyway, and that gets overlooked too often. The weapon side of things was about using items that were around you, which by chance, were extremely sadistic and violent things.

well the only stealth game i played and i like was the splinter cell seris except double agent i havent played that one

Violent people can enjoy nonviolent games, they just don't know it.
Some violence is fine, like most FPS games, but the ones that clearly try to be as violent as possible isn't so good.

The ones that clearly try to be as cute as possible isn't so good. Such as Hello Kitty games.


There. I said it.

*sigh* Things go where things are needed, if they intend to make a mafia/gangster focused games, you cant exactly fill it with flowers and bunnys can you? Same goes for making a Car game and not filling it with cars. Where developers deem it appropriate, its appropriate in my books.
