Manhunt 2 Details Emerge

06 Mar, 2007, 3:01 pm IST | by Avinash Bali |

I loved Manhunt… Yeah, I agree it was a sick game that went a bit overboard with the shock value but there’s something satisfying about hacking off a guy’s head with a machete or gouging his eyes out with a shard of glass. And now if British magazine OPM is to be believed, Rockstar is set to raise the gore bar for Manhunt 2 to new levels; take a look at what you can expect in this highly awaited sequel…

  • The Director, gangs, CCTV cameras and death row dodger, James Earl Cash, from the first Manhunt won't play a part.
  • Manhunt 2 's main character, scientist Dr Daniel Lamb, is locked in a private asylum by The Project - shady backers of a top secret drugs-based weapons program that Lamb was working on.
  • After breaking out of the asylum, Daniel Lamb goes on the run with psychotic inmate Leo Kasper, who is happy to coach Lamb on the brutal art of violence.
  • Like the first Manhunt, kills are executed in three deadly shades - Hasty, Violent and Gruesome.
  • Environmental kills have been introduced (push an enemy face first into a live fuse box, for example)
  • Loud ambient noises can be exploited by Lamb to drown out his own crashing about.
  • When hiding in shadows, if an enemy comes close the player will sometimes have to copy a button combo in order to regulate Lamb's breathing and ensure that he remains undetected.
  • Lamb can climb and crawl - two moves that Manhunt's James Earl Cash couldn't do.
  • Guns can be used for stealth kills.

But wait, there's more; "Later in the game, a member of The Project has both his plums and a pair of vertebrae removed with a pair of pliers."

Ouuuuuuuuuuuch!!!
