What makes a game enjoyable?? What keeps you coming back? For me..it's the sound of snapping a bad guys head off with a crowbar(yellow kill) or even the first level kill with a machete where you hack away about 4 or 5 times before the head rolls off, but while you are doing this you can hear this Gack! (his voice in blood while hes being hacked). Its these details which make this game sooo damn real. If you dont use the red kill with a baseball bat where you smash his head to pieces, you can finish him off while hes dead on the ground<<< the audio is superb, you head a splat thats juicy and if you use the toggle stick to look down you can see chunks of brain , bone fragments and even an eyeball once in a while! Details , Details and Rockstar performed! At the end You de-gut Starkweather , He holds his bowels in his hands as he pleads for his life! Do you think Cash was merciful enough to spare him??? Helll no!! ROCKSTAR MAKE A SEQUEL!!! (...)....Long live Rockstar!

Blood! Murder! Brutal weapons! When I read reviews for this game, the little voice in my head said, "buy this". I did, believing that This would be another epic albeit controversial hit for Rockstar Games. I must say, I was rather disappointed. Yes, the graphics are quite nice (keeping with Rockstar's usual high quality), the sound is outstanding (the thump of a crowbar against some guy's melon is very chilling), and the overall atmosphere of the game is unique and, in typical Rockstar fashion, very controversial. But, I still think that this game is lacking in some points. Control is, at best, decent. All too often I have fumbled at the moment of truth, turning a stealth kill into three or four thugs turning me into hamburger with machetes. Graphics are, like I said, good, but nothing spectacular. Save points are frustratingly few and far between, and the game gets very redundant very quickly. The levels may change slightly, as do the thugs and weapons, but not the the point that you can really see much change from one level to the next. All levels are basically "sneak, find weapons, sneak, kill, sneak, exit the level". Sometimes there are items to find, or people to rescue, but ulimately this adds to the repetitiveness and frustrating nature of the game. The biggest selling point of this game is it's graphic death scenes and the overall nasty game content. I'm sure that this game will be on the news (if it hasn't been already), and angry parents will have a new game to burn en masse. Basically, I felt that this game was trying to be Splinter Cell meets Resident Evil. At best, this is a so-so action/stealth title with nasty scenes and content.

A "cut" above the ordinary.

Congratulations to Rockstar Games for producing a game that is unpretentious and naked in its treatment of sheer horror.

Bordering on nihilism, the game deliberately deflects morality, ethics and human conscience in a world where apathy, torment and fear are executed, violently.

This game will be remembered in gaming history as a groundbreaking classic, with cult status.

sick,twisted,horrific.......yet 100% freakin fun.

Manhunt was created by Rockstar the same people who made the amzing GTA and Vice city.

But....Manhunt is way different to the previous releases as the killings and gore look way more realistic.
You have different types of weapons to kill your enemy, you have the selection from a baseball bat to a rocket launcer.

This game is available in America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia but has been banned in the last continet which is Australlia.It has also been banned in New Zeland because of the contect which was distributed in the game. Rockstar was also fined because they failed their court case with ozzies but managed to gain huge sums of profits from other continents, previousely listed.

If you dont have the balls or courage to play this game, you have made a very wise move. But if you are one of those people without fear and enjoy bits of human meat splashing evrywhere than join the world of Manhunt.

Remember, you have been warned...

viciously fun.

I rented this game a couple weeks ago because the "escape from prison" derived plot allured me. I must say that this game drastically exceeded my expectations after I witnessed its wonderfully profane and sinister ways. The violence that it propagates is greatly unparalelled because even though the GTA series had a deluge of vicious tactics, they were not executed in such an authentic and realistic manner. The various weapons and techniques that you are granted in Manhunt are great anemities that contribute to the general positive experience of the game. Another rewarding aspect of the game is the stealth. It's very gratifying to sneak up on a skinhead and dismember him, without him even having the satisfaction of seeing it coming. As the game progresses the violence becomes more extreme as the weapons do. When rockstar made this game, they did it right. That's why there is no need to rent it, just buy it.

kick ass

My only real complaint here is that the replay value of the game is non existent. I mean sure it's fun to replay but it's not like you don't know what's around the corner. For that reason I won't shell out my $50.00 for it. I'll wait and get a cheap used version down the road.

That said, this game kicks ass! I loved it from my first kill. No, of course it's not GTA. It's not supposed to be! But it is every bit as fun. Yes I'd buy it and love it, just not new. I think these games are way friggin overpriced!

A innovative game.

This game is unique, yet it isn't a fulfilling as I hoped it'd be.

The plot of the game, without any spoilers as to what happens in-game, is that you're a convict sentenced to death, but someone set up an elaborate scheme involving the police to fake your death for his twisted snuff films, in which you'll soon be the star of.

The gameplay is basically run around and kill things. You have to find a weapon, and kill as many people without getting caught, if you want a good score (which you're ranked in stars, 1 for time, 3 for style, and 1 for game difficulty).

The graphics and sound effects are okay. The graphics 3D, but they can become rigid at times, and the gore in the game isn't that detailed. The music... well... there really isn't any. The only sounds in the game are your own footsteps, doors and gates slamming open, and the hunter's slang.

And finally the game value. You can unlock 20 art pieces, one for each level, and you can unlock 10 cheat codes (only available if you unlock them). Also, you can unlock 4 bonus levels, if you get perfects in groups of 5 levels (1-5, 6-10...), none of which are really fun. The game itself will probably last you 10 hours, at the most.

The game isn't all it's made out to be. The game changes pace at about halfway through, when you pretty much rely on guns for fighting. That makes the game less fun, for you don't have to sneak around anymore, just run and shoot.

If you want to play this game, you should rent it.

Bloody addictive!

Manhunt is, without a doubt, the bloodiest and most disturbing game I've ever played. That aside, this game is pure,raw, unadulterated fun! In the first half of the game, it's all about hiding in shadows and sneaking up on your unsuspecting prey. In the second half of the game, it's mostly 'run n' gun'. So there are two different styles in which to dispatch the baddies.
Early in the game, I was shocked to hear one of the bad guys utter the phrase, "Man, I need a bong hit; just a little somethin' to take the edge off." While no stranger to what he was referencing to, it was more than a bit surprising to hear it thrown in my face so bluntly.
And the blood - oh my! All of the executions are horrible, but some are downright gruesome. There are 3 levels of executions you can perform - white (hold down X button least amount of time), yellow (more time), and red (most time). The red execution with the baseball bat is horrific! Other lovely items include a crowbar, machete, meat cleaver, piano wire, etc... Later in the game, you can kill with a sawed-off shotgun, sniper rifle, and various handguns.
The enemy A.I. is not bad, but as in all other games of this ilk, they still become ridiculously unsuspicious after a few minutes, even after a ferocious gun battle just took place or they find the dead body of their compatriot.

-SPOILER-

And even though I know what to expect in one of the closing levels, I still don't like it, and jump/flinch when a giant chainsaw-wielding man-pig chases you through the decrepid and blood-spattered halls of an abandoned upper level of a spooky mansion.

-END SPOILER-

I've rented this game 3 times in a row because the gameplay and story are both good and interesting enough to keep me coming back to see it through to the end. And best of all, you don't have to strain your brain in an attempt to understand how to play! It's simply a great "pick up and play" type of game. No long-winded tutorials or 30 page instruction manuals - it is totally intuative and you feel comfortable with the controls and game mechanics within the first 15-20 minutes of play.

Awesome game
