Reason: These runs have been improved about 4 or 5 times over (not even an exaggeration), so we can be guaranteed that these runs are well-optimized. There really isn't much to say other than these runs have been refined to a fine point.

Notes:
This is the self route from my run. But the Wii runner has use a new tactic in the first area. He follow the Hunter with the pliers and kill him. After the first kill, he knock on the wall and go forward the way to the next area.
In the old run was some mistakes on the last area, but he has use my route and this save the runner many seconds.
I had also replayed this Level with the new tactic.
Thanks go on the Wii runner for the new tactic.

Yet again, again. This is an improvement, with no visible signs of cheating. I look forward to the next 20 Manhunt 2 videos in the inevitable future. 8)

This level looks good.
I wonder why the PS2 and Wii versions are so different (unskippable cutscenes, looks like maybe different enemy placement, and a random box you have to get on to get a weapon in the Wii version).

He wait in the shadows for nothing, small mistake.
The hunter can kill be faster. He lost small seconds.

All of these are impressive, no cheating, and improvements over the previous runs. Nuff said.

These 3 improvements look clean and are faster, with the 3rd one being quite a bit faster than the current run.
Quote:
Quality (Capture)
Same as always.
Quality (Gameplay)
Red Light:
Finally improved his starting strategy using my route, resulting in a much faster time.
Oddly, it seems if you get hit in the Playstation 2 version while cutting open the fence, it still continues to complete the opening animation.
Bees’ Honey Pot:
Only major change is how he handles the guys in the courtyard, which is much faster.
Personality Clash:
Finally, he improves this level really well by getting the syringe in its first spawning point and killing Leo right away. This is really annoying to try and do, since there are at least 6 other places where it can spawn.
He gets held up in the hallway by some bad guys and loses 5 seconds.
Once again decides to waste 3 seconds by going the long way around the statue.
Timing
Red Light: 1070 (0:35.702) – 4360 (2:25.512)
Bees’ Honey Pot: 1110 (0:37.037) – 4717 (2:37.391)
Personality Clash: 1060 (0:35.369) – 7902 (4:23.664)
Overall times:
Red Light: 1:49.776
Bees’ Honey Pot: 2:00.354
Personality Clash: 3:48.295
Importance
I’m going to say all three of these levels should be updated onto SDA. The last one requires a ton of luck and is very difficult, and what he ended up with far outweighs the time he loses.
