Rockstar drops subtle hint, sends us a personalized Manhunt 2 straitjacket photo

I guess nobody told FedEx, but 8:30 in the morning is a little early to deliver someone a straitjacket. I suppose they had no idea that's exactly what Rockstar had tossed in a package and sent to my house -- a personalized "Dixmor Hospital for the Criminally Insane" straight jacket.

While this isn't the professional strength jacket of choice by psychotic-handler professionals, it's a nice reminder that yes, Manhunt 2 will be available on the Wii, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable next week. The straitjacket shipped with a Manhunt 2 sticker, an info card, and an empty "Confidental" personnel file. Presumably I will fill it up with my files after playing the review copy we're expecting shortly.

Manhunt 2 will be available in North America on October 31, and it's rate M for blood and gore; intense violence; strong language; strong sexual content; and use of drugs. Sweet.

The Destructoid review of this game will determine whether or not I will buy Manhunt 2. I hope it's a good one. Also, isn't it supposed to be PS2 not PS3?

A straight jacket is better than a gay one.

Early morning typos for the win. This game IS NOT coming to the PS3, but that is what we will play the PS2 version on. So sort of, but not technically.

Pics of Nick bound up in a padded cell are now required.

The way I see it, I gave the original a chance when nobody else would. So I imagine it'll be the same way with this one.

Well I'm in the U.K where the dumb fucks have banned it, so guess what, I'm gonna be importing a PSP copy of Manhunt 2. God bless America (just a little bit).

Why? Because I recently read a review that says the games actually pretty good. Either way, I am gamer and collector of games, so it'll do nicely if its not up to scratch.

Can't wait to play this on the bus....lol.

the only thing that would cement my purchase of this game is if a special edition came out with a straight jacket for myself. I'm so jealous. still getting the game though

Moar typos, Nick: “it's rate M for blood and gore...”

It should say “rated”, right?

Anyway, that’s a pretty awesome straitjacket...you should wear it to parties and stuff.
