Whoa! Manhunt 2 comming to the Wii

I never got to use the chainsaw, the game got dull when it became less about stealth and more about shootouts. Honestly, on my last save all I have in my invetory is my mitts and a shotgun. Where's the gruesome fun in that? I'll play Scarface if I want to play a violent, well made 3rd person gang shoot-em-up.

BUMP

On Wii, you act out the execution with a series of gestures timed to on-screen cues. If you're cutting into a man's skull with a saw, which you sometimes do, you might have to make a forward/backward motion with the Wii remote, hit the B trigger to a visual cue, and then gesture quickly upward with both controllers to put the finishing touches on the attack. It's much more immersive both because motion-based controls are inherently so and also because you're stringing together these attacks in the Wii build, while they are canned animation sequences in the PS2 one.

Im not sure i agree with the wii actions killing some one buy pressing X is fine but it seems a little weird to be actualy mimicking the sawing of some ones head off. But as its novel i cant say no.

Yeah, I wonder how that will play out as well. I thought it might be unsettling to strangle people in The Godfather using the wiimote- it wasn't. But that game has a lighter "Hollywood" feel to it than Manhunt2 seems to. We'll see I guess.
