It seems as though JT is back on the case on behalf of concerned UK individuals...
Rockstar must have surely known that it wouldn't take too long after the announcement of Manhunt 2 before a certain Miami lawyer began sniffing around. After a campaign of negativity bordering on hatred towards Rockstar Games, an "alleged" post on a Manhunt forum from the man himself claims:
"Miami attorney and anti-violent video game activist Jack Thompson has been asked by individuals in the United Kingdom to help stop the distribution of Take-Two / Rockstar's hyperviolent video game Manhunt 2 in that country due out this summer. The game will feature stealth murder and torture. The last version allowed suffocation of victims with plastic bags.
The original Manhunt was responsible for the bludgeoning death of a British youth by his friend who obsessively played the game. The killer used a hammer just as in the game he played. Take-Two / Rockstar, anticipating the firestorm of criticism with the release of the murder simulator sequel, is lying to the public on both sides of the pond in stating this week that the game had nothing to do with the murder.
Take-Two is also stating that the sun does not rise in the east because Take-Two makes no money from its rising in the east. Take-Two has been repeatedly found in the U.S. by the federal government to be guilty of fraud, so what would one expect it to say.
Jack Thompson has agreed to this request from the U.K. Look for this effort to begin shortly given the summer of 2007 release date."
Of course, the original Manhunt was at the centre of a dispute in the UK, linked to the murder of Stefan Pakeerah, by his friend Warren LeBlanc in 2004. Despite calls from conservative media publications and the game being pulled from high street retailers, the police denied that any link existed and it eventually was discovered that the victim was the owner of the game.
Expect further details and controversy to appear shortly.

well they can just give it a 18+ rating and start enforcing the sale of games to minors just like ciggarets and alcohol its that easy .anyway how many little divs can afford 35-40 quid for a game when there released.next they will want to ban porn!!!

these are the alternate endings of manhunt 2 DONT READ IF YOU HAVE THE GAME and havent played the end. the first end is danny kills leo. danny automatically wakes up in the middle of a street somewhere and recieves a letter of his new identity and a address to go to live in and basically he has to start a new life and it is a cliffhanger sort of. the second ending is leo killing danny in a shootout sadly. he steps on danny and kills him after he makes him angry by saying oh i killed your wife and that. then like the physcho he is he screams i wooooooooooooooooooooooooooon and wakes up. a nurse wakes danny up and tells him hes been in a coma the past 3 weeks. leo is know 100% control of danny's body. he asks the nurse if he can have a minute then looks in the mirror and see leo face. but he is in danny's body and that is the end. cool endings both ways. thanking you for reading post comments if you wish.

I played this game last few days, it so nice, everything it's very nice, specially the dialogue. It's realy different from the other survival horror, I played. It's realistic, It'seems I feel the presence of the enemy, like I played I was the character in the story. Very good, excellent.
