While the story twists are a bit predictable and lore is mostly cliché, it's more enjoyable than the depraved narrative of the original.

In comparison to the original Manhunt, Manhunt 2 offers a stronger story with arguably better characters.

Hungry for more information, Daniel and his pal Leo risk life and limb to discover the truth. After returning home, Daniel starts to recall more of his life before the Asylum, pointing him towards a secretive government program. One night, a fierce thunderstorm, Daniel and some of his fellow patients manage to escape from the facility, murdering several guards and patients in the process. Instead of controlling the death row prisoner Earl Cash, players assume the role of Daniel Lamb, a patient of the Dixmor Asylum for the Criminally Insane. Although Manhunt 2 is a sequel to the controversial original game, it features a completely new setting and cast of characters.
