After months of rumours and speculation Manhunt 2
was officially announced on the 06th of February, 2007 by Take-Two
through their official website, in what was considered to be a 'shocking
announcement'. It was revealed that the game would be released for
the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and Nintendo Wii, in the
process being the very first Rockstar title to be released on the
Wii.
The teaser trailer followed shortly thereafter. The teaser offered
the first look at who would go on to be the main character, Daniel
Lamb and two other unnamed characters.
|
An experiment at a secret research facility
has gone catastrophically wrong. Daniel Lamb and Leo Kasper
are the only surviving subjects. The Pickman Project will
stop at nothing to hunt them down and stop the truth from
getting out.
Demented screams echo around the dank asylum
that has caged you for the last six years. You open your
eyes. A white-coated body slumps to the floor through your
shaking hands. A bloody syringe slips from your arm. Waves
of confusion and paranoia crash over you. You have no idea
who you are or how you got here.
The door to your cell is open. One choice.
One chance. They took your life. Time to take it back.
