Posted in News on 08/25/2009 09:41 pm by milkappleIn February this year, there were some rumors that the super violent Rock star game “Manhunt 2” would be escaping to PC, because drivers v.182.05 which released by NVIDIA including “Manhunt 2.exe”, but disappeared in the latest drivers v.182.06. In 2007, “War Machine” was the case landed on the PC. It could infer that “Manhunt 2” may be landing PC. However, the official did not release any news during the past few months.
Now, some people have found new evidence about the existence of a PC version. ESRB’s official website lists the information about “Manhunt 2”PC version, we can see that “Manhunt 2″ is rated AO- Level (only for adults). There are only 24 games are rated AO- Level in ESRB’s history. “Manhunt 2” host version was released in some stores on October 29, 2007. The original review was rated as AO-Level at the first time, and then only rated 17+ after Rock star changed. But Britain still prohibits absolutely the sale of this game. The PC version was rated AO-Level shows that this game made loyal to the original version. Whether it can sale or not is still a problem.

Major characters
Daniel “Danny” Lamb
The main playable character. He was a former scientist with “The Pickman Project” but ended up locked away in the Dixmor Asylum for the Criminally Insane for six years. A lead researcher and scientist, Daniel’s recent invention of the drug Cortexa was revealed in an audio recording of a clinical session. The drug is used to help Danny temporarily recover from his amnesia. When the Project lost its funding, Danny volunteered to be a test subject for the “Pickman Bridge.” His family was not supportive of this, but it is implied that he was deeply in debt and his family needed the money. The process seemed to be a success, but the killer personality implanted in him – Leo Kasper – was able to act too freely on his own. Leo convinced Danny to burn any records of their past, unknowing that Leo was really attempting to start a new life in Danny’s body. The final link to Danny’s past was his family, so Leo took over once more and murdered Danny’s wife. Danny was captured and put in Dixmor for six years, when the game begins. He has no recollection of who he was before the Project started. Leo – whom he thinks is an actual person – is his only link to his past. After working with Leo for a long time after escaping, Daniel learns that Leo killed his wife and attempts to defeat
Leo in his own mind. If the player plays as Daniel, Daniel kills Leo several times but he keeps coming back, not bein human after all. The ghost of his wife comes and tells him to bury her body in his mind to end it all. Once he does this, Daniel smashes Leo in the face with a shovel until he is dead. After this, Danny wakes up on the side of a road in the middle of nowhere. His memory has been wiped clean and in his hand is a note giving him a new name, David Joiner, and a fresh start. After reading the notes he looks around, curious about what happened to him, before he walks down the road.
Leo Kasper
The second playable character, playable only in flashback missions such as”Assassination” and a bonus level. A psychopath who was also put in the asylum by the Project. He was once a government agent and has expertise in combat, evasion, infiltration and assassination techniques. He helps Daniel Lamb escape and teaches him his own well-honed tricks of the trade. At first Leo appears to be a real person but in reality he is a personality created by the Project and implanted into Danny while remaining separated from Danny’s own mind by the Pickman Bridge. However, the Pickman Bridge was not perfected yet and it resulted in Leo being able to freely talk to Danny inside Danny’s head. His personality also took over at times when it was not called upon. More than anything, Leo wants the Pickman Bridge removed so he can take over Danny’s mind and body forever. Leo helps Daniel a long way, but with the ultimate goal of trying to get Daniels body, even going so far as to murder Daniel’s wife to sever another tie to his past. In the normal ending, Leo confronts Daniel in his mind. In an alternate ending, Leo fights Daniel and wounds him with a gun. Cursing the Project and those involved in it, Leo steps on Daniel’s neck, killing him. Leo shouts aloud that he won and is then awakened by Dr. Laura Whyte in Daniel’s body, she explains she removed the Pickman Bridge, thinking he is Daniel. Leo tells her to gather the staff to resume work on the project.
