he video game Manhunt 2 was rejected for its "unrelenting focus on stalking and brutal slaying", the British Board of Film Classification said.

It means the Manhunt sequel cannot be legally supplied anywhere in the UK.

The parents of a Leicester schoolboy who blamed the original game for the murder of their 14-year-old son said they were "absolutely elated".

yay. some people cant separate reality from fantasy and everyone else suffers.

After reading hands on previews for Manhunt 2, I'm definitely buying it for Wii. Here's some good stuff:

Once inside the club, the first kill that we were able to pull off was one of the new environmental executions. These occur when enemies are standing next to something that can be used to kill them, such as a rope, a fuse box, or, in this case, a toilet. Our first victim was an unfortunate man in a gimp mask, who had his face introduced to a toilet in a number of painful ways. As well as environmental kills, there are puzzles that require you to dispatch people in certain ways. For example, to gain entry into the torture chamber, you have to show the guard a recognizable face. Predictably, this involves removing someone's head with an axe and then holding it up to the window.

Of course, standard kills remain the most frequent type of kills in Manhunt 2, and there's a variety of weapons to choose from as you progress through the game. Fragile items such as glass shards and syringes can be used only a single time, while buzz saws and hammers can be used multiple times. The method of killing in Manhunt 2 is pretty much identical to that in the original. Danny must approach his victims from behind in order to stay unnoticed and perform a clean kill, and when he is within range he will raise his arm. Pressing the square button will perform an immediate kill, but holding it down will produce an even gorier finishing move. The longer you hold down the button, an onscreen reticle will turn from yellow to red, with the latter color indicating the most gruesome kill available. Manhunt 2 also brings guns into the mix, although none were on offer in this particular level. It's also possible to jump off ledges and perform flying kills, although finding the combination of a raised platform and an unsuspecting bad guy was quite rare on the sexual deviants level.

The big feature in the Wii demo was the game's control scheme, which made smart use of the system's controller. The basic system was laid out on the controller pretty much how you'd expect. Melee combat is performed by waving the remote left and right. The big hook to the action is the way the controller is used during the various kills. You'll now have to actively follow onscreen motions that approximate your actions. Throwing a chair? Hold the Wii Remote and analog stick as if you've got the chair in your hands and move it accordingly. Stabbing someone? Jab that Wii Remote.
