It is the sequel to 2003's Manhunt and was released in North America on 29 October 2007, and in the UK on 31 October 2008. It was developed by Rockstar London for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 2, Rockstar Leeds for the PlayStation Portable, and Rockstar Toronto for the Wii. Or, if the contestant dies, then there’s going to be some severe consequences for the people the contestant cares about.Manhunt 2 is a 2007 stealth game by Rockstar Games. The twist here being if the performance is not deemed good enough by the streamers chat room. If the contestant survives and defeats the death squads, then a scaleable sum of money is delivered that will allow them to escape the poverty pit depending on how creative they got with the death dealing. In this streaming personalities exist that have their own personal death gauntlets, commentating and quipping about the action, and getting their community to vote for certain hunters, traps, and weaponry. Starkweather would (obviously) be no more, instead a dystopian future (I know, up there with ‘post-apocalyptic’ as overused pitches) where the overpopulated underprivileged are being forced to compete in a blood-soaked death hunts against psychotic mercenaries for the amusement of the rest of humanity. In the age of internet streaming, streaming personalities, and disposable celebrity culture, a Manhunt that utilises that setup would be ripe for deliciously dark parody and satire. That feels like a perfect fit for a modernised Manhunt 3. I look at how such as Black Mirror have prospered from showing a twisted version of our reality where the cult of technology and the strange effect it has had on social behaviour. When thinking of places to take a new Manhunt, I don’t believe in recreating the grainy bootleg VHS look and 80’s scuzz of the original. Manhunt as a concept almost feels like a dark satire on a lot of the more unpleasant aspects of the present day. We live in a world where senseless violence and cruelty is all too easy to see, and certain sectors actively encourage it. This theme of violence and cruelty for illicit pleasure is one somewhat fitting for modern day sensibilities. In the current climate, and with games being a far more sophisticated affair (sometimes anyway) a new Manhunt, that follows the message of the original The sour taste Manhunt 2 left in the mouth has been something I’d always hoped might be corrected one day. With Manhunt 2, it got the kicking it deserved for being awful on multiple levels. The hysteria surrounding them, and other Rockstar titles generally tends to be reactionary and predominantly uninformed. At least in these cases, there was rhyme and reason to why. ![]() Sure Manhunt was graphic, and GTA San Andreas caused all manner of bother. From nullifying the need to fight or die, to glorifying mental illness as an excuse to go on a killing spree, Manhunt 2 is more responsible for the bad reputation Rockstar found itself with than almost any other game. Cheap, nasty, and without a good reason for it. Instead of bleak satire, it was everything the more hysterical parts of the media had accused its predecessor of. Reflecting the game’s theme of being a pay-per-view snuff collection.Your only choice should you elect to play along is the level of participation in the vile game of death the director, Starkweather, is playing. In Manhunt, you, and Cash, are funnelled down a never-ending pipe of unpleasant, horrific torture and murder simply because your choice is to participate, or die.
