You are James Earl Cash, a killer sentenced to death row. On the night of your execution, you are taken away by a mysterious director named Starkweather. You're now the star of a brutal TV show. Dropped off in a city of psychopaths, where everyone is after him, Cash has one night to fight his way out of the city. Kill or be killed.
Panic-inducing 3rd-person action rewards stealth over fighting. Use shadows to your advantage, find Safe Zones and hide out there - waiting&planning the perfect murder
Use whatever you can find to kill the men after you -- the bloodier, the better. Cameras are everywhere&Starkweather wants to see blood. lots of it.
The levels get tougher&tougher, and so should you -- use crowbars, bats, machetes, guns and lots of stealth to kill your way home
Study the enemy's movements and lure them into traps -- but be careful, they get smarter as you play. Eventually they'll start setting traps for you.

Summary: DISTURBING + CREEPY= AWESOME 8 OUT OF 10
Comment: Manhunt is without a doubt one of the most disturbing games ever made, and judging by the scores given to its sequel, it still retains that throne. You spend a lot of your time killing enemies without being detected, and if you are detected you're in deep s***. The game has an incredibly creepy environment to do your hellish deeds and eliminate the enemy. The game can get incredibly difficult, especially when you're trying to fight more than one enemy which will in many cases cost you your life. You can lead enemies into traps by making noise by banging your weapon against a wall. Then, when the enemy comes and doesn't see you and walks away you can kill him in macabre ways(via suffocation with plastic bags or stab him with a piece of glass, which is made more brutal when you hold down the attack button). You will only be terrified throughout this game because you don't know what will come for you next and how will it try and kill you. The game has problems though. The camera is a bit squirrelly, especially when looking around, and controls are a bit of a chore at times. But if you enjoy getting the s*** scared at you by all means pick up this game immediately.

Summary: The smell of death is in the air
Comment: Just the feeling of killing a man with a glass shard will get you heart pumping and in this game it will pump a lot. The gameplay itself has a pretty basic scenario to it hide and when the guys back is turned kill him, but it's just the sheer brutality of it that never gets old.

Summary: Simply the best game I've ever played
Comment: There is a movement going on in the world of video gaming, those of us who absolutely cherish the 'Manhunt' title are doing whatever we can to convince Rockstar to make a sequel to this game!!! It's been out for a few years, and I know it was a hit when it first came out, so instead of wasting time with more dumb GTA titles, can we please get our sequel? There is numerous web-sites dedicated to this 'movement' , they talk about petitions, phone-calls, you name it, fans of this game are willing to do it. I believe one person went so far as to try and get to the head execs at Rockstar headquarters, but his message apparently fell on deaf ears.
Alot of fans feel the reason no sequel has been discussed is all the controversy that first appeared upon the games initial release. I have a hard time believing this, while I agree this game is sick and twisted and extremely violent, it's nothing we haven't seen before in any of the GTA or Resident Evil titles. If anyone takes this game to serious and causes any problems then blame the individual, not the game.
Okay, enough preaching, let's chat about this amazing game. No game I've ever played kept me more entertained, excited, and shaking my head in disbelief then 'Manhunt'. While I agree it is a tad slow and deliberate, the patience and persistence you need to play this only adds to the enjoyment. It's nice to have a game when you can use stealth instead of mass-murdering, when you use patience and planning istead of running head-on into the crowd and start hacking everything in sight. I also liked the way the game gets much harder the farther you advance, at first the beginning levels are rather easy, but as you hit level after level (there are 20) the game gets more intense and much more violent. Another big plus is you can control the severity of the kill, you can make it quick and mildly painfull, or make it gruesome and gory.
I have never been a huge fan of 'bosses' those games when you finish a level, but at the end there is some ultra-tough boss that takes an extreme amount of damage to destroy. With 'Manhunt' you don't get that, it's just gang member after gang member coming after you, all with different weapons that vary in inflicting damage on you. I have played and finished all the GTA games as well as the Resident Evil titles, and don't get me wrong, those are fun games (except Vice City, what a waste of time) but after playing 'Manhunt' and completing it some 15 times now, it amazed me how much those other games were lacking. For pure suspense, there is none better!!!!!!
Brian Cox supplies the voice of Starkweather, the main man in control of the whole game. You talk about a perfect fit, his voice is chilling yet comical at times, forcefull through most of the game, then pathetic and begging at the end. Cox absolutely nailed this, and heres hoping that if we ever get a sequel, his voice will again be behind it. So while I'm not gung-ho with the petition, etc, etc. I figure the more I can make people aware of this sensational game, then the more apt they will be to play it and buy it, maybe that will get Rockstar's attention.
