I already bought a PS2 Fifa 2002 Arcade Stick. <Where's retrosportsgamer> The game is only a few bucks, gives me a chance to see what all the excitement on the World Cup is about. I have not played a soccer game on a console since 2600 Pele Soccer, about time to hit the field again. I tried the PS2 Fifa Arcade stick with a Gamecube adapter, but the analog mode does not work. Maybe the stick will work on the PS2 version of Fifa World Cup? Still, its nice getting the Gamecube version with the intact Official 2002 World Cup Hologram sticker. Oh yeah this game is good, love all the crowd chants in the background.
What is it with Soccer er Football fans? Lose a game, tip a car, win a game, tip a car.
Okay after getting the blood boiling from losing a football game, what to do to calm the nerves from destroying the parking lot? Oh just go out and kill somebody, not literally but in yet another game.
Manhunt Psycho Pack
Manhunt - Amazon $14.98 Shipped
Yeah I know not a great price, but I really wanted a CIB and not a Greatest Hits. I usually prefer Greatest Hits for sometimes extra content inside. The Rockstar games have a history of Mature content removed on repressings of their games. The Hot Coffee in San Andreas and Manhunt 2 screen blur censorship for example. I'm not sure if the Greatest hits version of Manhunt also met the same censor axe, the reason for getting the original black label. Ever notice the Rockstar Icon, looks like an R rating badge?
I really want Manhunt 2 in the uncensored version. Action Replay removes the blur filtration during the kills, but some scenes are removed in the official released version. I hit every Gamestop with a printout of stores listing availability. Fumbling thru all the yellow envelopes, could only find the white censored PS2 game discs. PC owners get the uncensored version as a silly download, a shame the PS2 release got 'slashed".

Note the Black RP disc, unlike the white disc with green edges. Is this official?
Or this cover? Rumors about Adult Only rated PS2 PAL copies slipped out in Europe.

Uncensoring
A method that removed the game's censoring code of the M rated PSP and PS2 version thus restoring parts of the AO state was released by a group of PSP crackers. ESRB commented on this crack stating that it was not Rockstar's fault that this occurred and stuck with the M rating. Later, it was discovered the same method also works on the Wii version of the game.
In September 2007, an uncensored PAL PS2 copy of the game was leaked onto the internet by an employee of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, who was later fired.
In 2009, a fully uncensored version carrying an AO rating was officially released for PC download from Direct2Drive. However, the game was later removed from the service after Direct2Drive was acquired by Gamefly, due to Gamefly's policy of not carrying AO-rated games
For now, I have the PS2 Action Replay codes, thrill killers have fun! See link for a PSP unlock.

Hackers from Russia has managed to reveal a hack to modify the game code that uncensors and unlocks the PSP version of Manhunt 2 ‘hidden and protected’ game content, and view the originally locked and censored violent graphical details ‘uncensored’ during the game play. The crack code allows the blurs, hues and discolorations of the death sequences to be removed. Thus users effectively play the fully uncensored uncut Manhunt 2 and get the full ‘Adult Only’ rated version of the game with complete killing scenes details, except a few gore scene cuts, such as shovel decapitations, player castrates an enemy with pliers and cutting head off and lesser blood particles.
Gamers with Manhunt 2 for Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2) which has Action Replay (AR) or ActionReplay MAX (ARmax) installed will have easier life, as now it’s possible to unlock, uncut and uncensor the Manhunt 2 without any modification to the initialization files. Simply use the GameBreaker cheat codes below to load into ActionReplay. Unfortunately it won’t work on PS3 running in PS2 mode.

There is also a PPF patcher for Manhunt 2 NTSC ISO using PPF O Matic 3.0 which removes the blur and filter on the images in game and corrects that short fades to black on screen on killing enemy moments.
Logitech Headset 97078 - Swap Meet 0.50¢
"Any cable in the box fifty cents!" Okay why not? I didn't buy this for Frag Arena games but a great undocumented feature for both Manhunt and Manhunt 2. I can hear my assistant in the game barking directions right into my ear. A very nice feature is that I can also yell out to catch the attention of a guard while waiting in the shadows to attack.
Logitech Rockband Microphone E-UR20 - Bookoff $5.00
I really wanted a more sensitive microphone for Manhunt. Confirmed the Rockband mike works in a PC which recognized it as a Logitech. Unfortunately only the Headset works with Manhunt, but even with the mike volume turned all the way up not enough for what I want to try. The mod in me wants to splice the Rockband microphone speaker into the headset box, bypassing the USB connection.
I want a microphone sensitive enough to make me hold my breath when sneaking pass a guard.
