Official development for an Xbox version of Manhunt 2 was halted as the original Xbox was being phased out by the 360. Consequently, there is no official disc or digital "God" (Games on Demand) version of the game for Microsoft's second console. However, for RGH users, the console is no longer bound by these official restrictions. Playing Manhunt 2 via RGH/JTAG

This is the make-or-break step.

In the pantheon of violent video games, few titles carry the baggage, the infamy, and the raw, uncomfortable grit of Rockstar Games’ Manhunt 2 . Released in 2007, the sequel to the cult-classic stealth horror game was so graphically violent that it received an "Adults Only" (AO) rating from the ESRB—a kiss of death for mainstream console releases. Nintendo and Sony refused to license the game, forcing Rockstar to censor the title heavily for a eventual "M" for Mature release.

The main draw of playing Manhunt 2 via RGH is the ability to use the files or specialized mods. Official console versions (PS2/Wii) used a red blurring filter during executions to hide the gore; the uncensored versions remove this, showing the full, brutal detail intended by the original vision.
