UK Trades paper MCV said in an article today that "the publisher in danger of releasing the game long after after the intial wave of hype is over", Manhunt 2 is sadly already behind the eight ball, as it has been developed for the PlayStation 2 and PSP, which are both several years old now, plus with the PlayStation 3 already out and PSP [2] coming out in the coming months they are at risk of not receiving the consumer support they are receiving at the moment. Once the hype dies down, so does the buying market. The Nintendo Wii on the other hand is proving to be very popular, so thats on market covered no matter what. A PlayStation 3 launch would be of great help, but the game may not be compatible or currently read for such a release.

“Rockstar has taken a while to build its case, so they’ve obviously been taking stock of what the BBFC have said. They will have to work together to agree on making the right cuts. But there could be problems if the BBFC feels that the violence running throughout the game is too much – it’s not like a film where you can just cut certain scenes.”

Guess we will have to wait and see how it all pan's out as to what precautions Rockstar take to keeping the hype about the game up. There’s no doubt about it, Rockstar are great at keeping game hype up, so fingers crossed there won't be a problem.
