Well, I'll be interested to see the play mechanics for the Wii.

I read this earlier today. It's really surprising that this will be on a Nintendo console. Glad to see Nintendo finally have some adult games,, other than Mortal Kombat, on a system.

This isn't the first "adult" game that Nintendo has coming to the Wii. In fact, the game "Sadness" might come with an AO rating.

I'm curious to see how this will play out with the controls. Since it's only on the Wii and last generation consoles, kind of, then I really see no point in following it, for myself, on anything but the Wii.

Does this mean you get to feel like you're actually putting a trashbag around someone's head, or stabbing in the eye with glass shards on the Wii?

[D Mac]

No 360? WTF Bullshit.

Looks like FakeRazor will have a new game to play in the woods.

[Disturbed316]

Never finished the first one.

Last stage of Manhunt is phenomenally creepy.

[D Mac]

I beat the first one with gameshark. Hard as fuck otherwise.

Played the first one to about halfway. Stopped when I realized that I was enjoying killing people WAY too much. Never finished it.

Imagine using the Wiimote to simulate strangling somebody with some piano wire...

Last stage of Manhunt is phenomenally creepy.

Yeah seriously.

Fucked up is not enough to describe it.

Imagine using the Wiimote to simulate strangling somebody with some piano wire...

That would be kind of cool in a way.

I would buy it quickly though, some 8 year old is bound to kill someone quite quickly after and blame the game.

Then the Wii will be known as a killing machine!
