* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: While the original uncensored version of ''Manhunt 2'' ''was'' released on PC through Rockstar's website, it's no longer available even through there, meaning that version is now only playable through illegitimate means of obtaining a copy.

A few years later, Rockstar appears to have come around to the game as they rereleased the game as a UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 Classic and made references to it in future games.

* FranchiseKiller: Even discounting the bans and restrictions that prevented it from being released at all in numerous countries, ''Manhunt 2'' received worse reviews than its predecessor and only a fraction of the sales, killing the idea of a third game.

** The bonus level "Time 2 Die" in the first game is the only bonus level to feature a voiceover from Starkweather and have its own music track, which suggests it was originally part of the storyline before being repurposed late in development.

Already covered in Creator Backlash. Also Moving Shout Out to the main page


* ShoutOut:
** The level "Sexual Deviants" in ''Manhunt 2'' was one giant homage to ''Film/{{Hostel}}''.
** Brian Cox, the voice of Starkweather in the first game, was previously in the film ''Manhunter.''
** One of the mercenary enemies in the second game bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Manga/{{Akira}} Colonel Shikishima.]] Additionally, one of the cut gangs was a group of face-painted meth junkies called "the Clowns."
** Daniel Lamb appears to have been modeled after a police sketch of the Zodiac Killer.
** The masks that the Skullyz gang wears resemble either the [[Music/TheMisfits Misfits logo]] or [[Film/TheExorcist Captain Howdy.]]
** One of the Skinz, appropriately, resembles [[Film/AmericanHistoryX Derek Vinyard.]]
* OldShame: ZigZagged, Manhunt triggered a mutiny within Rockstar because they weren't comfortable with the realistic depiction of violence. Rockstar has appeared to have grown more accepting of the game as they have re-released the game on [=PS3=] and [=PS4=] as a Playstation Classic and made it compatible on Xbox as well. They have also referenced the game multiple times in their future releases, with ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' providing the gang masks in their online DLC and Piggsy appearing in the form of a tattoo.
