Additonal Info:
Take-Two has confirmed that the un-edited copy of Manhunt 2 for PlayStation 2 that made its way onto the Internet last month was leaked by a former employee of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
The un-rated version of the game – which has been banned in the UK and underwent subsequent editing in North America – appeared for download on the Internet in September this year.
Speaking in a statement issued to GamePolitics, Take-Two explains the source of the leak:
“Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that a former employee of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has acknowledged his responsibility for the unauthorized online distribution of an unrated play-test version of Manhunt 2 submitted for the European PAL PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system”
The report also states that the employee in question has been sacked as a result of his actions.
An edited version of Manhunt 2 is scheduled for release in North America for PS2, PSP and Wii on October 31.

Manhunt 2 Trailer
First post.
Now with that said.
How do I actually get it?!
Interesting, didnt hear anything about this in sept.
psn id: gingo.... 2 things, how do i get this and it was a bit harsh sacking him for this lol
I'd love to play the unedited version.. but i don't know where from
jus release it already for f**k sake!
first post ? wow that never gets old eh, immature kids these days, any word when manhunt 2 realeases ?
gingo, how can you say it's a bit harsh to sack the guy?
He essentially stole several years work and gave it away for free.
If you worked in PC world and walked out with several dozen copies you would be lucky to get away with the sack, he's lucky he's not been charged with theft.
Why should i buy a censored version of a game? it's stupid, it's a game for crying outloud.... what about horror movies then? shoulden't we ban all movies where people are murdered and make a censored version of them with flowers and rainbows?? grow up damit!
@ironflag55555, u must not have read the article, becuse it tells u at the bottom when the game comes out!! get a clue idiot!
They should just release both versions. One for the stores that dont sel AO games, and the other so that us adults can play. That would do two thing....1st it would allow the people to play the true game, 2nd....it would show those sensoring bastards that we want the real game, not some watered down version.
I didn't know about this.I know exactlly how to get it if its there?
Well I've had the leak version since the beginning of this month....the only gay thing is that its PAL, but my PS2 can handle any region PS2 game :P . Yeah the guy who got just got fired got off easy....he might have gotten charged if the unedited version was the one being released. And its not a matter of stores not being able to sell the game... Sony and Nintendo will not allow the game to be released for their consoles with an AO rating. I am surprise none of you heard this already. I want them to release the US verison to I can compare and see what was edited.
lol... Take-Two probably posted the uncensored version online "on purpose" :D XD
well, they just could'nt stop themself!! If the game is so "mature" n "discusting"... that's another reason for me to try it!!! :D:D:D:D
Thx TakeTwo!
look for it in torrent sites
Bummer!
I hope it's still up in the dark corners of the Internet. Might have to "tweak" my PS2 a bit but it should work. Even though I'm still buying the legal copy day one.
Why would I be interested in this drivvle when there are so many more games out there that actually have something to offer besides murder and brutality? I love the graphic headshot as much as the next guy, but come on, if Resistance had no blood/gore it would still be a great game, if Manhunt had no blood/gore then it wouldnt exist. It is sad that a game has to really on shock value to entertain. So I will definitely pass on this one, bring on Haze!
