As you've no doubt read this morning, Manhunt 2 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:has been rejected by the BBFC - meaning that no one outsid🌠e of Rockstar will ever play the game. Except, that is, our magazine comrades at NGamer, who bagged the world's first review of the Wii and PS2 splatterfest.

The highly positive review, which awarded Manhunt 2 a s꧃core of 92%, appears in the latest issue of NGamer, out tomorrow. So we've scoured it for some key excerpts that might explain why the BBFC has been left feeling sickly over Rockstar's sequel.

The violence
NGamer says:

"The astonishiꦕng level of brutality is an integral part of the experience🐬..."

"[Manhunt combines] the tense stealth elements of Splinter Cell wit♊h the crowd-pleasing fatalities of Mortal Kombat, wrapped up in a story that's a little bit of Second Sight, a little bit of Ho⭕stel and a whole lot of unsettling..."

"Manhunt 2 is a unique treaꦑt for adult gamers with strong stomachs..."

"We've deliberat🔴ely avoided talking about the game's more grisly excesses because these things are best𓆉 discovered for yourself..."

"Once [an execution] is over, you can drag the remains - at least, the bits you can clear up witꦬhout a shovel and mop - ꦡinto the shadows..."

The controls
NGamer says:

"The motion controls put you i♈n Daniel's shoes in a way that simply holding a releasing a button cannot..."

"Each execution has several stageܫs, activated by a chop♌ping motion, or a prod, or a slam to the floor, or a sawing movement..."

"Executions are much more physical with the Wii controls, and we found we felt more immersed in the game♓ world thanks to them..."

The locations
NGamer says:

"The joꦗurney to the Project's labs takes in some truly rancid locations..."

"... a torture dungeon beneath a fetis💯hists' nightclub and a porn theatre in which you fight while an adult movie plays on thꦰe big screen..."

The impact
NGamer says:

"A lot of people are going to be offended by꧙ it, for its copious violence and occasional sex scene..."

"Somebody, somewhere is going to get a shock when they w🅷alk in on a friend laterally bisecting a hunter's head with re🦋alistic sawing motions..."

"Manhunt 2 is w𓄧hat W🌊ii's parental controls are for..."

"In its own bloody way, it's an example of the '30 seconds of fun' gaming ethos popularised by Bungie's Halo, slowed down and str🌄etched out into stealth and ꦅhorror..."
