Rockstar Promotes Manhunt 2 with Sweepstakes

by Christopher Holzworth (2007-10-05)

Publisher Rockstar Games and Radio Rebellion Tour announced a sweepstakes promoting Manhunt 2.

Contestants have the opportunity to win a custom bloodstained Wii in addition to a 50'' inch plasma screen television. Readers can jump over to Rockstar's official Manhunt 2 website to enter the sweepstakes. The contest deadline is November 20, 2007.



Manhunt 2 has players assume the role of Daniel Lamb, a scientist convicted of criminal insanity who becomes entangled in a web of deception and brutality. Lamb ensures his freedom from prison by employing a variety of merciless tactics supposedly made more intuitive through Wii's motion controls.

The ESRB gave Manhunt 2 an initial rating of Adults Only earlier in the year - a rating that Sony and Nintendo would not allow on their platforms. Some European nations also banned distribution of the game. Rockstar Games later revised Manhunt 2 and garnered a new ESRB rating of M for Mature. Although the situation in Europe remains largely undecided, the game will go on sale in North America on October 31.

The Wiire will keep two fingers on Rockstar's pulse as the controversy-bomb that is Manhunt 2 nears its release.
