Reviewers praised the improved gameplay, twisted storyline and engine, while criticizing its voice acting and outdated graphics. Reception of the game was largely mixed to positive. Manhunt 2 garnered controversy before and after its release, getting the attention of Leicester East MP Keith Vaz, anti-videogame activist Jack Thompson, and various US Senators. Rockstar appealed their decision, and ultimately, the Video Appeals Committee voted that the game could be released with an 18 certificate.

However, the BBFC still refused to classify the edited version for UK release. This edited version was rated M in the US by the ESRB and was released on 29 October. In response to these ratings problems, Rockstar censored the game, blurring the screen during the game's executions and removing the scoring system, where players were awarded for particularly brutal killings. As Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony Computer Entertainment do not allow AO titles on their systems, this effectively (if not technically) would have banned the game in the US as well. Originally scheduled for North American and European release in July, the game was suspended by Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive when it was refused classification in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and given an Adults Only (AO) rating in the United States. He is accompanied by Leo Kasper, a sociopathic assassin who guides Daniel in his journey. The game follows Daniel Lamb, a mental patient suffering from amnesia as he tries to uncover his identity. It is the sequel to 2003's Manhunt and was released in North America on 29 October 2007, and in the UK on 31 October 2008.

It was developed by Rockstar London for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 2, Rockstar Leeds for the PlayStation Portable, and Rockstar Toronto for the Wii. Manhunt 2 is a psychological horror stealth video game published by Rockstar Games.
