Opinion: Mad World is nothing new, look at Manhunt 2

[Zeus]

Beth Dillon notes that Mad World is nothing new. The respective ultra violent title has raised a lot of concern from non-violent game activists. However, Dillon notes, other games such as Manhunt 2 and Red Steel experienced with his type of play a while ago and out of all of them - Manhunt 2 is the most violent.



As game designers, we need to ask ourselves how far we should go. The Wii is a whole new playing field for experimenting with forms of game play. And right now, the news is abuzz with the upcoming release of Mad World for its violence in physically enacting attacks with the Wiimote. I’d like to remind everyone that this is nothing new–other games such as Manhunt 2 and Red Steel experimented with this play awhile ago. Of them all, Man Hunt 2 is the most overtly violent.

I thought Manhunt was more violent tbh, probably because it was a better game and I got more engrossed in it.

Manhunt 2 was a letdown.

Manhunt 2 sucked huge balls.

Manhunt was a classic, 2 was not.

So long as it doesn't play as badly as MH2 does, then I will be happy. it already looks nice graphically, I just hope the gameplay can match.

people who says things like that have obviously never played God hand or no more heroes. Manhun 2 is nothing like those 2 games.
