Manhunt 2 preview - PSP

Four years on from the controversy that surrounded the original Manhunt, the sequel is heading for the PSP. It's set to be as bloody and scary as its predecessor - make no mistake, Rockstar's latest is not a game for the under-eighteens. Manhunt 2 is once more a third-person stealth game, this time following an escaped asylum inmate on a gruesome quest to find out the truth behind his incarceration. So does it have the shock-factor and the originality of the first Manhunt? Read our Manhunt 2 preview for Sony PSP to find out more.

Manhunt 2 preview for Sony PSP
Amazingly, it’s been four years since the tabloid controversy. Four years since Rockstar Games was accused of corrupting the nation’s innocent children with the story of James Earl Cash, a crazed director named Starkweather and a bloody, gory killing spree. Obviously the fact that the game was 18-rated made no difference to the red tops, which argued for its banning, but in whipping up such a media frenzy actually raised the game’s profile, increasing sales. Yet behind the furore, Rockstar North had crafted a genuinely mature ‘Mature’ game, with reason and consequence to the slayings, and an adult atmosphere worlds away from the cartoon bloodshed of the GTA games.
Rockstar’s brand new division, Rockstar London, has taken over development of this sequel, but fans of the early game needn’t worr y too much, as the original developer is overseeing the whole project. As is the Rockstar way, very little has been revealed about the game so far, suffice to say that it should play very similarly to the first game.
