M-rated Manhunt 2 gets previewed

In the interest of comparison, IGN has now played an M-rated build of Manhunt 2, taking their time to document the differences between this new version and the older AO version. As one might imagine, the violence has been toned down, but that doesn't mean the game is going to be completely devoid of blood and guts. Oh, there'll still be loads of that.

IGN was able to take the title through its paces on two levels, one of which they were lucky enough to play before. Now, in these levels, stealth is still heavily emphasized, as players must sneak up on and murder their enemies as lead character Danny. Not only that, but IGN comments that some murderous sequences in the game are still downright disturbing, which we fully expected given the game has Manhunt in the title.

According to the review, when you get a detailed kill attack, instead of showing the graphics, they blur the entire sequence so that you are unable to make anything out.

That's sad because the "finishing moves" in the game looked very fun to see. But hey, maybe they've gone too far with violence in games this time? Blame it on GTA :P
