It has been quite a while since an unrated copy of Manhunt 2 had been made available on P2P and Warez networks worldwide. No one knew where the version originated from, until now. The originator of the leak was, apparently, an employee of SCEE. Here’s what Take-Two had to say:
[We] have 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.
Unfortunately, details of the case are yet unknown. Those interested in playing the unrated version can download it, but will need a modified PS2 to run the disc.
A rated version of Manhunt 2 will be released on October 31 on PS2, PSP and Wii in North America; the game is still banned in Britain.
Another TV show makes its move to the computer screen, as Take 2 Games announced that it gotten the exclusive license to develop, publish and distribute PC games based on the phenomenally successful game show Deal Or No Deal. The first game is expected to be in stores this Holiday season for $20.
Not much is currently known on the title, except that it will “capture the energy of the game show” and will feature the likeness and voice of Howie Mandel.
