Matt: So this game is called Manhunt 2.
Bozon: Yes....
Matt: And it's coming to Wii. And you would think that we would play the PS2 version because there's also a PS2 version and that's how publishers usually do this. But no, we got to play the Wii version. And it's shipping the same day as PS2.
Bozon: Sadly, we can't talk a ton about any details on it, but we can tell you that it is very, very fun and that we had a blast with it when it came.
Matt: It's awesome. It's super crazy, bloody. So if you're into that thing, as Bozon is, because he's got issues....
Bozon: Dude, it's so good...
Matt: It's really good, and we're really shocked at how well and beautiful... I mean it's pretty good looking for a Wii game I think. I'd say it's one of the prettier games on Wii.
Bozon: I think it's the first game, and this shouldn't be a problem to say, I think it's the first game that kind of bounces between like a little under Xbox, maybe a tad bit over.
Matt: Certainly the blood effects are really nice.
Other dude: If it was on Xbox, it would have much, much better lighting, and much better textures, but then the Xbox version would probably chop up.
Bozon: Jerry, you like that one a ton too, right?
Jerry: Yeah, Manhunt 2 on Wii? It's going to be great. I say look forward to it.
Matt: We can't really talk about details yet, but we'll have some coverage this coming week and you can look forward to that. What we can say is you're going to want the Wii version, absolutely. There's absolutely no reason to get the PS2 version. There's several major, I'd say really kind of fundemenatlly important reasons you'd want the Wii version.
Bozon: We went hands-on with this game for a long time...
Matt: Yeah, it was like four hours.
Bozon: It was a four hour session. And it's the first time I've had a Wii game, sat down with it for four hours, and when they took it away, I was actually like, "Don't, don't."
Other dude: Were you crying?
Bozon: Yes. I was. Aside from Zelda, seriously, I love this game.
Matt: For me it's like you know, they announce a game like this, in the back of my mind I hope this isn't going to be a stupid port, you know with tacked on Wii controls. It doesn't feel that way at all. Can't talk about why of course, but it doesn't feel that way at all.
Other guy: The informational value of this podcast is staggering.
Matt: It's great isn't it? But people are learning Manhunt 2 is going to be good on Wii. --- Normally when we get Wii games in here, we get about two people behind our desk, meh, and they walk away stupid, kiddy, and whatever, and that's normally dan harrison. But for the Manhunt 2, for Wii, when we brought that in, we had the whole office in, including just a bunch of people who normally just don't care about videogames.
Bozon: Yeah they've seen Wii Sports and like nothing else.
Matt: And then like a lot of them are like, My God, can't believe that's happening, and laughing, and whincing.
Bozon: One person actually said, Why is he holding a Wii controller to play this?
Matt: Yeah, she didn't know.
Bozon: And then they were confused that this was on Wii. They didn't understand what they were seeing.
Matt: They kept asking, is this a Wii game? Yes, this is a Wii game. This is a Wii game. Rockstar is doing this right, definitely. They're bring the love to Wii.
? What sort of stupid thinking is that?
