It's certainly not an all-out run-around-and-kill-everything style game, it holds a lot of tension and atmosphere as you sneak around waiting to strike, much more like a Resident Evil game or perhaps the more stealthy first person shooters. Known only as the "Pickmen" project it's up to you to avoid your ensuing police manhunt and uncover the truth behind your past.įor those that have never played Manhunt 2 or its predecessor the best way to describe it is a third person survival stealth game, it's all about sneaking around, being undetected before swooping in for the kill, very similar to ninja games, such as Tenchu. During the violent chaos fellow inmates are overpowering their guards in an attempt to break free, as Danny you must follow a new found friend, Leo, and escape from the Prison.Īfter a number of gruesome kills you manage to fight your way out of the Asylum and into the main game, Leo starts to feed you with information about the reason you found yourself behind bars, explaining that you were used as a test subject for an experiment drug, Cortexa, but ended up with you becoming insane. In Manhunt 2 you play as Daniel "Danny" Lamb who awakens in the middle of a prison riot at the Dixmor Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

We thought it only fair to review this game, not only to see what all the fuss is about but also critic its merits simply as a video game. The infamous game has made headlines everywhere and is often used as a tool for politicians to empower censorship concerns. Manhunt 2, released in the UK exactly one year after the original US release.
