Why? Because of the Hamster smashing scene? It's censored.

I believe everything is censored so badly that it fucks up the entire game.
Right before this game launched I saw one of the funniest things of my life. I was at a horror convention and Take-Two (or whoever published it) had a booth with a couple copies of the game. Huge line of people waiting to play it. Sadly I never played it but I did get a very nice t-shirt that I still wear today.
Getting back to the funny part, I tried to go back later the next day to play and there was only one person playing. . . but it was a guy dressed in this movie quality Jason costume. Looked fantastic. Just just some blood and a hockey mask you know. Plus, the dude was huge. Easily 6'3" and 210 lbs.
So he's there playing the game (with the hockey mask on) and it's funny enough watching him sneak up and garrote people. But as some point he got into trouble and got killed. He stepped back, looked up, and shouted this awful frustrating scream and then put down the wiimote and wandered off.
Good times.
What have they done to the executions? Ugh. Damn censors.

Yup. Pretty much.

Free T-shirt, can't beat that.
I have this game but I forget for which console. I remember overhearing a really annoying dude hitting on a game store clerk and telling her he knew all about this game -- that it was going to be the first to receive an "X-rating" from the ESRB (and that it was published by Nintendo).
Still, you should've got the original.
LOL Foolz.
I hear there is a way to unlock the violent kills. Action replay? I need to research this...
Well I got it, played a bit.
Not violent at all so far. That probably has a lot to do with the censorship, you cant see shit firstly. Not only that the QTE icons are in the top left corner so you aren't even looking at the screen when you perform them anyway.
Graphically its pretty obvious that this was made with the PS2 in mind, although its more detailed and has better colour saturation on Wii. It has a nice graphical style though. It played like splinter cell which is a nice suprise, only the controls aren't anywhere near as good.
It has great presentation and atmosphere going for it. Some neat motion controls, lean by tilting the nunchuk, combat and IR aiming.
It's pretty decent and I can see myself agreeing with IGNs 7.7 review. I think the controversy has overshadowed a cult game that is a decent play through.

The first one is the way to go, indeed. I'd get it in a heartbeat if I had a PS2.
Is it on Xbox?
It depends if MH2 is connected storywise to this one. Otherwise its a decent play through but I can't see myself wanting more.

Yes it is, but the story isn't related as far as I'm aware. Basically you're in a snuff film, and you've got to fight for survival, or something.

Bugs mentioned something about violence and censorship and then I looked up Manhunt 2 which was banned in Ireland and the UK then censored and eventually released.
It's only £7.99, chump change so I impulse ordered out of curiosity. I looked up Metacritic and the PS2 version gets better ratings than the Wii one. 67 vs 62 average.
Uh oh.
