Yeap, you guessed it from the news title Jack Thompson is on Rockstar's back already with a letter stating his intentions regarding the release of Manhunt 2. He wants to ban the game, surprise, surprise, saying that he was asked by individuals in the United Kingdom to stop the distribution of Manhunt 2 before it comes out. I wonder who these individuals could be hmm. This was posted on the forums the other day but incase you missed it here is the letter that was apparently sent out from the man himself:

Miami attorney and anti-violent video game activist Jack Thompson has been asked by individuals in the United Kingdom to help stop the distribution of Take-Two / Rockstar's hyperviolent video game Manhunt 2 in that country due out this summer. The game will feature stealth murder and torture. The last version allowed suffocation of victims with plastic bags.

The original Manhunt was responsible for the bludgeoning death of a British youth by his friend who obsessively played the game. The killer used a hammer just as in the game he played. Take-Two / Rockstar, anticipating the firestorm of criticism with the release of the murder simulator sequel, is lying to the public on both sides of the pond in stating this week that the game had nothing to do with the murder.

Take-Two is also stating that the sun does not rise in the east because Take-Two makes no money from its rising in the east. Take-Two has been repeatedly found in the U.S. by the federal government to be guilty of fraud, so what would one expect it to say.

Jack Thompson has agreed to this request from the U.K. Look for this effort to begin shortly given the summer of 2007 release date.

This goes back to an earlier news post we made on the 8th of February. For that particular news post click here.

This was when Mr and Mrs Pakeerah spoke out against Manhunt 2 and Rockstar responded with the following:

We are aware that in direct contradication to all available evidence, certain individuals continue to link the original Manhunt title to the Warren Leblanc case in 2004. "The transcript of the court case makes it quite clear what really happened. At sentencing the Judge, defence, prosecution and Leicester police all emphasised that Manhunt played no part in the case.

The fact is, it wasn't lies but we will let you decide for yourself read the news post and leave a comment.

Forum member Robertfltn' has alerted us to an article that he sent in to ‘4Player’ as featured on the video game section of ‘Teletext’ in the UK. In the article Robertfltn has the following to say:

I’m writing this 4Player feature in response to a letter GC received regarding Manhunt 2.

The viewer hoped the game would be banned and I feel that raises a question about video games and freedom of speech.

Many people unfairly judge video games such as Manhunt 2, without ever really playing or understanding them.

For example, do any of you viewers know what Manhunt 2’s storyline is?

It is a very loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, in which you play as Daniel Lamb, who’s imprisoned in a mental asylum.

There, psychiatrist Dr Whyte is testing mind- altering drugs on the inmates to create assassins for the US government and you attempt to escape.

It seems to me all the people wanting Manhunt 2 to be banned simply on its name are the same as the government in the ‘80s who brought in video nasty censorship.

Many of the films branded “video nasty” are now regarded as classics (The Exorcist. Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and who knows, maybe Manhunt 2 will be too.

Also the implication that no-one liked the original is totally false.

Many people found the original Manhunt both challenging and innovative.

In fact it even has a fansite (manhuntuncut.com), none of whose members are “sickos” in any way.

In you don’t like Manhunt, don’t buy it, but you should stand up for freedom of speech as it is a basic right every person and every form of art – whether it be literature, music, film or video games – deserve.

To those in the UK that want to get access to the original article you should go over to the TV channel ITV, hit text and then go to channel 806.

If you head over to the Official Manhunt 2 Website you can now see a list of potential places to pre order the game. It should also be noted that some of the sites have release dates listed ranging from May 11th (UK) to August 02nd (US) none of these dates are from Rockstar themselves and are only projected dates by the retailer. Traditionally Rockstar games have been released in the US on the Tuesday with a UK release three days later on the Friday.

I also want to address some issues people have been emailing in about, the box art listed on various websites and in the gallery is only placeholder; the official box art for the game has yet to be revealed. The original Manhunt had at least two temporary art variations that differ from the final product and nothing has been revealed about the games release date in Australia and other countries.

As soon as any official details are revealed about the games release in other countries we will be sure to post it here.

IGN Wii has published an interview with Suda 51 (Goichi Suda) of ‘Michigan: Report from Hell’,’ Killer 7’ and among others the upcoming Nintendo Wii exclusive ‘No More Heroes’ fame. In the interview Suda-san is quoted as saying:

I'll also try my best to make No More Heroes as violent, or even more violent than Manhunt 2!

When Killer 7 was released it caused mild controversy due to its subject matter and was one of the games that drew the attention of the likes of Jack Thompson, however the game was quickly forgotten about.

I am actually looking forward to ‘No More Heroes’ and have enjoyed Suda 51s previous titles, I personally believe that ‘Killer 7’ was one of the most overlooked titles released in recent years, however I do think he is missing the point of Manhunt and could potentially harm his own game by focusing solely on the violence aspect of it. Or am I the only one that thinks of the violence in Manhunt as a gateway to creating an intangible atmosphere that wouldn’t otherwise be possible.

I also find it interesting that he specifically mentions Manhunt 2 rather than the original title, Rockstar games are published by Capcom in Japan and are usually released 2 too 3 years after their release in English speaking territories. But with the recent release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas over there perhaps there is more focus on Rockstar than usual.

When I got home this afternoon there was a letter sitting for me from ‘Dixmor Hospital’, it is the same letter that was covered a few days back. It appears as though the blood splatter on the ID bracelets is random, so no two bracelets are alike. Nothing huge but it is a nice little touch.
What also wasn’t really mentioned in the previous postings of this promotional material was the fact that there are absolutely no signs whatsoever on the letter or envelope to suggest that this is actually from Rockstar. Besides the ID bracelets reading ‘Manhunt 2’ you would be completely fooled into believing there is some legitimacy behind the letter. I will upload some more images into the gallery once I transfer them over to my computer, they will be located here.

The street that I live in is full of ‘nosy neighbours’, so much so that if you take your dog for a walk at 4am you can expect to be asked about it the following day. The neighbour to the right of my house is so nosy that they actually go out for my mail, so supposing I receive a package and the postman/woman has to knock the door for me to receive the parcel it is pointless me even going to the door since he is already out signing for it just so he can hopefully have a guess as to what it is, regardless of me ordering it I still get the ‘I think it might be a DVD’ or ‘it feels like clothing’, anything just in hopes of me confirming their suspicions. With that in mind I have to say the idea did cross my mind of actually putting the letter in his letterbox, if for nothing else than to see his face as he hands me it a few hours later.

I have also uploaded a clip to YouTube taken from IGN; the clip is from February 6th and has Matt Casamassina and Mark Bozon of IGN Wii discussing Manhunt 2 on the Nintendo Wii. I have edited out all the stuff that you aren’t interested in, the clip itself is nothing special but it is always something for you to peep if you have nothing else going on. You can view the clip by clicking here.

And once again thanks to Rockstar for taking the time and effort to grant us with such items, it is very much appreciated!

In the 02/08/07 episode of Gamespots ‘On the Spot’ they have some of the guys in from EA demonstrating the controls for ‘The Godfather: Black Hand Edition’ on the Nintendo Wii. I am not particularly the biggest fan of EA games; in fact the last game they published that I purchased was the original SSX game back at the launch of the Playstation 2. But from watching the video of ‘The Godfather: Black Hand Edition’ in motion I can’t help but think how the controls could be applied to Manhunt 2, if not for anything else it demonstrates that it can be done and be very effective and intuitive.
I suggest that everyone check the video out for one possible route Rockstar may choose to go with Manhunt 2 on the Wii. It is only food for thought; I am not suggesting that anyone actually invest too much interest in the game but rather watch how it controls.

How do you think the game should control on the Wii? I have my own proposition that I will post in a few days time.

Games Radar have also posted images of the promotional material the guys at Evil Avatar posted last night but they also included thoughts on a co-op type play system or a partner system being included in the game. The reason for this assumption has come from the mention of Leo Kasper on the hospital bracelet, they go onto say that this is the first time the name has been mentioned publically, they also speculate Danny and Leo will be our 2 new "heros" when Manhunt 2 ships this summer.

...as does the "internal memo" we received today from "Dixmor Hospital for the Criminally Insane." Packed with two bloodstained plastic hospital bracelets bearing the names "Lamb, Daniel" and "Kasper, Leo" (as well as big, fat Manhunt 2 logos), the letter tersely refers to the escape of two asylum inmates who pose a "highly serious threat to society." "Goodbye snuff-film star, hello crazies - the revelation of two characters seems to hint that co-op play might be in the cards for this grisly stealth-horror sequel (or, failing that, some kind of partner system a la Kane & Lynch). If that's true, the possibilities for creative murder are enough to set the mind reeling.

They posted the letter to Dr. Pickman in full text form as well as an image of the letter and hospital bracelets which i have uploaded to the gallery. Click here

The guys over at Evil Avatar have posted some images of promotional material for Manhunt 2. The first of these promotional images is off a letter from ‘Dixmor Hospital for the Criminally Insane Est. 1932’ and is addressed to a Dr. Pickman from Dr. Whyte. The letter reads as follows:

Internal Memo

High Security Ward

URGENT

From: Dr. Whyte
To: Dr. Pickman

Re: Danny Lamb and Leo Kasper

Enclosed are Danny Lamb and Leo Kasper’s ID bracelets found discarded after last night’s incident. This is the only potentially damaging evidence we have found so far. I trust every possible precaution will be taken to ensure that any records relating to these patients are destroyed.

We are all too aware that both subjects pose a highly serious threat to society, let alone the very existence of ‘The Project’. Both patients suffer severe psychotic episodes characterized by intense paranoia, involuntary psychotic reactions, delusional hallucinations and acute schizophrenic disorders.

I know I don’t need to mention the severity of the consequences for us and ‘The Project’ if these patients have escaped.

We HAVE to track them down.

Dr. Whyte

The second and third images are of two ID bracelets that reveal the following information:

What is interesting about that is Leo has long been expected to be a split personality of Daniel. There is a 9 year difference gap between the two, so perhaps it is still possible and this was the date that the alter ego was born within Daniel. If these bracelets are to be taken literal it would imply that they are two separate characters rather than one.

Keep in mind this is only promotional material so while it likely does reflect the game there is a chance that it isn’t cannon. If it is to be taken to be true then we already know more about Daniel Lamb than we ever found out about James Earl Cash.

Pretty cool stuff nonetheless.

I have uploaded the images to the photo gallery; you can check them out by clicking here.

GameSpy has posted an interview transcript from the DICE summit with the vice president of Marketing & Corporate Affairs for Nintendo of America, Perrin Kaplan. In the interview they mention Manhunt 2:

GameSpy: Rockstar games has just announced Manhunt 2 for the Nintendo Wii. Are we going to see Wii remote strangulations?
Perrin Kaplan: Let me just say that I hope most consumers' minds don't go where yours just went!

GameSpy: Well, the first Manhunt was a very violent game. One of our editors still cries himself to sleep thinking about it. Do you anticipate any negative backlash?
Perrin Kaplan: I don't think so, but we have been going back and forth on it in terms of what it means to our audience. But it's not our game, it's Rockstar's game, and if the press decides to direct its anger somewhere, it should be towards them, as it's their content. It's also not the kind of game that most gamers are going to buy, it's for a very specific audience.

I guess this further confirms that the game will make use of the unique capabilities of the Wii, although it can be assumed it will since the game is being headed up by another development studio within Rockstar, however it still hasn’t officially been confirmed by Rockstar and there are a few games out there that go with more standardised controls on the Wii.

Nintendo UK have released a statement on Manhunt 2 due to concerns minors would be able to play the game on it's console, this coming off the back of the announcement made to gamepolitics on Friday.

IGN have the article up with quotes from a UK spokesperson.

"Nintendo has called for parents and retailers to be aware of age ratings when buying or selling mature-rated games."

"All games for the Nintendo platforms are rated by the responsible authorities to ensure that minors are not exposed to games that are unsuitable for their particular age group and we want to emphasise the need for all users, especially parents and retailers, to be aware of the appropriate age rating before selling or buying a game."

"He went on to say parents concerned about children gaining access to inappropriate games should "utilise the PIN-operated Parental Control features built into Wii".

It is pretty much the same announcement as before and it looks like Nintendo will back Manhunt 2 all the way.

GamePolitics.com recently asked Nintendo for a statement regarding licensing Manhunt 2 on the Wii, due to them having a long time reputation as a family friendly games company. Nintendo were tight lipped about the situation Beth Llewelyn, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications responded with Manhunt 2 is not developed or published by Nintendo, she also stated that this game like many of their other third party titles appeal to people of all ages and interests. Nintendo finished up by adding that they encourage people who are concerned about kids having access to inappropriate Wii games to use Nintendo's built in PIN operated Parental Control features, anyone concerned about buying Manhunt 2 with kids at home should breath a sign of relief right about now. Here is the statement in full from Gamepolitics.

Manhunt 2 is not developed or published by Nintendo. It is one of many titles released by third party publishers for our system that appeal to people of all ages and interests. Just as with movies, television, and books, different video games appeal to - and are appropriate for - different audiences.

Video game retailers and purchasers are strongly encouraged to follow the age-specific ESRB ratings when considering what software to sell or buy. If parents are concerned about kids having access to inappropriate Wii games, we encourage them to utilize the PIN-operated Parental Control features built into Wii.

GamePolitics went on to say that they believe you will be able to slash someone's neck with a glass shard by a simple left or right motion on the Wii controller while holding the B button down. If this were true then this time around we would need to have interactive executions that were timed giving you something like 30 seconds to make all the motions with the Wii controller before viewing the full execution. Mortal Kombat: Armageddon on the Wii has already made use of the Wii controller for this very purpose, where snapping someones neck or cutting an arm or leg off in an execution is a simple flick in the desired direction.

Jurie Horneman has updated his blog with a link to Manhunt 2's website, and the message "Oh look, a new game from Rockstar Games." you may remember back in May last year, when Rockstar Vienna closed, we said that Jurie was rumoured to be working on Manhunt 2 but requests on conformation led to us being told he couldn't give us any information we thought at the time he may still have had a contract with Rockstar. Well it now turns out this information about Jurie working on Manhunt 2 was perhaps true and it would seem he did some level scripting (rumoured), this would seem to confirm once and for all that Rockstar Vienna was working on Manhunt 2 before being closed. Here are some comments from the blog.

"I bet this has some really nice level scripting."

"Hey Jurie, At least it's coming out. Having worked on it as well (the cutscenes), I am happy that it is...albeit later than planned. It would have been a bigger shame had they just scrapped the project completely.I think the biggest shock is that it's being released on Wii. I am just surprised that Nintendo would let a game with that kind of content pass submission."

The fact that the comment poster who worked on the game is shock that it's on the Nintendo Wii proves that it wasn't planned and seems to have been a last minute thing since the Wii only came out in November/December and last we heard Reggie was talking to Rockstar in December to bring GTA to the Wii. This could be the reason for the delay as a whole and a result of listening to the fans both here and on other message boards who asked for a Nintendo Wii version also in December you may remember we made a plea to Rockstar to bring Manhunt 2 out on the Wii.

News posts from May last year. Click here

In IGNs latest podcast they discuss Manhunt 2 on the Wii.

Really? Manhunt 2? On the Wii? Are you sure? You know that game is really violent, right? Like, super violent. As in, it makes us feel like bad people when we play it. And it's coming to the Wii? Really?

In the pod cast they express concern over how long the game has been in development and they also say that the CEO of NOA, Reggie Fils-Aime met with Rockstar before E3 last year and supplied them with 30 development kits and that they were one of the first batch of developers to receive dev-kits, that is a pretty interesting fact, if it is true that is.

You can download the podcast by clicking here.

Games Radar.com offers some good insight into Manhunt 2 giving their impressions and ideas on the trailer and plot, they have quoted what most people on the forums have already figured out, that one line in the trailer is from Shakespeare's The Tempest the line in question appears near the end of the trailer and reads "What seest thou else in the dark backward and abysm of time?".

GamesRadar believe the goal of the game will be to escape from the laboratory where Dr. Whyte has been brainwashing you for several years, they even go as far as to say they believe you will end up killing your family as a result of the brainwashing. They finally finish up by saying that Rockstar is one of the few developers that really know how to "build and unfold a complex and challenging plot". Here are some interesting parts from the article.

As the images continue to flicker and fade, a menacing voice proclaims: "What seest thou else in the dark backward and abysm of time?". This odd, almost incomprehensible phrase is actually a direct quote - from Shakespeare's The Tempest.

The Tempest initially focuses on two characters - Prospero (the play's wise but flawed nobleman, exiled on an island) and his daughter, Miranda. Both have lived on a deserted island for 12 years, and Miranda has never known anyone but her father. As a result he has been able to construct her entire reality, by manipulating her mind. He is, in effect, her creator. The quote comes when Prospero quizzes Miranda about faint memories she has from her past before they were banished.

Dr. Whyte has perhaps even used you as a mindless slave to do his dirty work for him - echoing another character from The Tempest, the abused and vicious animal-man-thing, Caliban.

You can talk about this and any other Manhunt 2 details in the topic we have made on our forums. Click here

We are also looking for Manhunt 2 Fanart to go into our image gallery so if you think you have something worth contributing why not post in on the forums? Fanart Section

The MCVUK website has the article "Murder victim’s parents condemn Manhunt sequel" Keith Vaz also backed both parents saying that he was "astonished" that Rockstar had made a sequel. The following is a direct lift from the article.

Two parents who believe their son was murdered in an attack inspired by Manhunt have hit out at Rockstar for confirming the release of a sequel to the game.

Mrs Pakeerah added: "It is an insult to my son's memory that they have announced this game in the month we will be marking this anniversary. Mr Pakeerah told the Leicester Mercury: "I'm very disappointed. This is rubbing salt into the wounds in the month we will be marking the anniversary of Stefan's death.

Leicester East MP Keith Vaz has backed both parents. He said he was "astonished" that producer Rockstar had made a sequel. He added: "It is contempt for those who are trying very hard to ensure something is done to control the violent nature of these games.

Eurogamer.net reports Rockstar Games have pre-empted the headline writers of newspapers, magazine and online columns in what Eurogamer.net are calling "Manhunt 2 excuses in early" a Rockstar spokesperson pointed out, in a responce to the article on UK trade magazine MCV's website, (quoted above) that Manhunt 2 is clearly an adult game and that they expect a rating of no less than 18+ in the UK. The following is taken from the article on Eurogamer and MCVUK.com.

We believe Manhunt 2 is a great entertainment experience for fans of psychological thrillers and urban horror,

Manhunt 2 is a chilling and compelling drama and is only appropriate for people who are old enough to play it, Manhunt 2 builds on the success of the original Manhunt, a critically acclaimed and BAFTA-nominated title that has established a loyal fan base amongst adult gamers.

We are aware that in direct contradication to all available evidence, certain individuals continue to link the original Manhunt title to the Warren Leblanc case in 2004. "The transcript of the court case makes it quite clear what really happened. At sentencing the Judge, defence, prosecution and Leicester police all emphasised that Manhunt played no part in the case." Adding that it respects people who disagree with it, the publisher concluded that it would submit the game to appropriate bodies, expects it to get an 18 rating, and hopes that'll be fine with everyone.

Hopefully this latest announcment by Rockstar will silence people like Keith Vaz and Jack Thompson who are bound to jump on Manhunt 2 as soon as the first in-game video surfaces, althought i doubt it since Keith Vaz is still trying to stop sales of Manhunt to minors 3 years after it was released even though Manhunt has a rating of 18 in the UK and a 17+ rating in the US. Check out the news post we made on January 25th for more here.

You can now pre-order Manhunt 2 at the Rockstar warehouse website still no word on the official website however. The PS2 and PSP versions are $39.99 and the Nintendo Wii version is $49.99 pre-order here.

Play.com has an early release date up of the 11th of May also 1up.com have put up a date of June, 15th at this stage i doubt either can be accurate both are a Friday meaning they will be UK release dates if anything. 1up.com also gave their thoughts and impressions on the Wii version and the trailer.

but a Wii version means...are we going to be realistically simulating murdering people with our own hands? If there's anyone to step into that taboo territory, it's certainly Rockstar.

And today we have our first glimpse into the game via GameVideos, albeit in the form of a vague teaser trailer that's really only useful for discerning that Manhunt 2 is in development, not figuring out what the game's about, whether it has maintained the realistic tone of the first one in its violence and, most importantly, how Rockstar is taking advantage of the Wiimote and nunchuck. Still, it's something, and the game's not particularly far off -- Manhunt 2 drops this summer.

You might have also noticed several different places including IGN and Gamespot have a front cover up for Manhunt 2 showing the Manhunt 2 logo and the logo for the specific platform, right clicking on the box art at Ign shows the words "mockbox" maybe that will confirm it's false to those who think that this will be the final cover. Note the images are coming from the Rockstar warehouse website.

I have uploaded the flash intro teaser off the official Manhunt 2 website, it contains alternative scenes from the official trailer including one where a hammer/hand axe hits someone on the back of the head perhaps indicating we can expect executions. Other things include a very painful looking needle piercing into an eye, surgery on someone, errie looking hallways and a large set of teeth near the end. Check it out here.

The folks over at IGN have put up a ‘roundtable’ article where they discuss Manhunt 2 on the Wii. The general consent is they are happy, shocked, and in some instances ‘freaked out’. Here are some quotes:

Matt Cassamassina:

That is, in a word, cool.

Mark Bozon:

awesome drama in the industry

Gerry Block:

In my mind this is the most positive Wii news I've heard in 2007

I have the highest hopes that Manhunt 2 will rock on Wii and establish a precedent for more mature themed games on the system.

Meghan Sullivan:

Am I the only one seriously freaked out by this news? There's something wrong with having players actually physically act out this kind of violence (choking stabbing, shooting, etc.) The Wiimote takes the gameplay to a very uncomfortable and disturbing level.

The roundtable article is only available to IGN Insiders, if you are an IGN Insider you can peep it here.

The updates just keep coming; Rockstar has now launched the official site for Manhunt 2. At this time there isn't much to see, there is the press release, links to watch the teaser at a higher resolution and pre-order links that aren’t currently set up. There is a nice flash intro however so it is worth heading over there for that alone.

You can check out the official site by clicking here.

Rockstar has released the first teaser trailer for Manhunt 2; it looks as though the protagonists name is Daniel Lamb after all. If you haven’t already then I suggest you go look in the rumours section of the site since we were told of such a name many months ago and it is very likely that a lot more that you find in there will turn out to be true.

I have uploaded the trailer to YouTube or alternatively you can download it from IGN.

Freeze framing the trailer reveals information about mind control; it looks to be an advertisement for a book by a 'Dr.Whyte'. There is also a glimpse of a news show on TV. Perhaps the mind control is done by the TV station or is televised, maybe the next stage of reality television? There is also a single frame that states 'I hate you and ill kill'. Daniel looks to be a family man, and just who is his bald friend in the background?

So what do you all think? It looks very much like the first game in terms of art direction, it doesn’t look to be any less twisted either. I do find it funny that it mentions how the product is not yet rated, I know they need to stick it on all un-rated trailers and such, but who honestly thinks this is going to get anything below a solid 18 in Britain and an M in America? One of the voices sounds a lot like Brian Cox to me, but perhaps that is me just wanting it to. Either way hell is looking pretty damn good. How long is it until summer anyway?

Take-Two and Rockstar has now officialy announced Manhunt 2 with a scheduled summer release.

With Manhunt 2 we have tried to create a game that stays close to the original concept of chilling suspense and stealth, whilst pushing the game design and storytelling forward," said Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games. "We are also excited to have our newest development team, Rockstar London, working on the title alongside our two established UK studios, Rockstar North and Leeds.

This will come as no surprise to anyone of the forum, as we first broke news of Manhunt 2 last March followed by premature confirmation from various voice actors and developers from Rockstar Vienna. Last October I was told by anonymous sources within Rockstar North that they had the game back. At the start of January I received an email about Rockstar London involvement with the title, however I took it with a pinch of salt as there was nothing to back the source up.

Rockstar London is developing the Playstation 2 version with Leeds working on the PSP release and Rockstar Toronto on the Nintendo Wii version. Rockstar Toronto also developed The Warriors for the Playstation 2 and Xbox, The Warriors ran on a modified version of the Manhunt engine. Rockstar North is supervising the game just as they did with the PSP versions of Grand Theft Auto. We were told that they were heavily involved with the game while it was in development at Rockstar Vienna as well. Quite a back story behind the development of this game, would it be too late to ask for a ‘Making Off’ for the game do you think?

Hopefully we will get another excellent soundtrack by Craig Conner, he was involved with Liberty City Stories so it is possible, just after San Andreas was released he was quoted as saying he had to go to a very dark place in order to create the Manhunt soundtrack the first time around, let’s hope he had a return ticket.

I hope that we had some influence over the Nintendo Wii version of the title; however this now opens up the flood doors for a whole host of other accusations made towards Rockstar. After seeing what EA is doing with the Godfather it makes me wonder what we will be able to do in Manhunt.

I will be picking up the PlayStation 2 and Wii version myself, how about everyone else?
