Manhunt 2 Reviews Are Not So Good

Published at 12:11 PM PST

We'll go right to the point. Some major sites have posted their reviews for Manhunt 2 and sadly it's not looking so good. Some of the reviewers state that the blurring that Rockstar were forced to do did ruined the experience a bit. Here's a quote from IGN:

The ESRB has forced Rockstar to make content changes which have in turn significantly reduced the impact of the franchise's trademark executions...

We couldn't agree more with this. Manhunt 2 had some stellar previews of the Uncut version but with the modified version it seems it ruins the experience. Odd part is some of the critisism is coming from people who said prier to this that Manhunt 2 uncut was too violent, and now it's not violent and gorry enough because of a few modifications? Well look at it this way, it's either these small effects to make it less visable during gore scenes or no game at all, which would you rather? I know which I would rather. Here's the reviews:

1Up - 4/10
GameSpy - Fair ( ...so about a 6-7 we believe they mean. )
IGN - 7.7/10

 Expect more reviews later in the day,  until then that's all folks. Remember Manhunt 2 is being released tomorrow ( or check out the discussion of it on our forums where staff member, Aj Collins, got it a day early ) on the Wii, PSP and PS2. Order it, line up for it, but what ever you do don't miss it!
