This game is better than the GTA games which are too overrated. I mean, how many games are there where your on a basketball court, fist fighting a bunch of idiots to your death? GTA was never that creative. Way more realistic than all the GTA games too. If you play this game and actually listen to what the gangs say, the dialogue is the strangest thing I've ever heard. This game is seriously demented though. You have guys running around in dresses and a gang of white supremicists yelling, "Don't trip over your dress!" Can it get much weirder. It's still a great game though. I would definately recomend it.
DAMN!!!!

When I saw this game it looked kinda stupid and hard but then my brother bought it because it looked good to him. Then he said i couldn't play it(too violent)but i got to and man it is the best stealth/action game ever, like metal gear meets resident evil.
So in closing BUY THIS FREAKING GAME!!!!!!!!!!
Very realistic

This game has some great realism for all its average graphics but as a fan of Vice City this one lives up to the hype!

MAN HUNT IS A VERY GOOD GAME NOT AT ALL WHAT YOU MAY HEAR THAT IT'S THIS OR THAT. I LIKED IT BECAUSE IT WAS REAL COOL NOT ANOTHER GAME LIKE IT. THE CONTROLS ARE EASY TO HANDEL, ALSO SOME OF THE LEVELS AREN'T THAT HARD OR EASY BUT THAT MAY DEPEND ON YOUR SKILL, BUY THE GAME YOU'LL BE GLAD IT MAY JUST END UP AS BEING A COLLECTORS IDEM.I GAVE IT A FOUR STAR AND NOT A FIVE ONLY BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT LONGER...
Bloodiest game in history

To start it off this game is awsume. You start off as James earl cash and are gilty of all charges and sentenced to death. A person rescues you and is known as the DIRECTOR. The first wepon you get is the plastic bag. There are three atacks. Level one on a plastic bag you suffacate him. Level two you suffacate him and knee him. (WARNING EXTREME BLOOD) Level three you suffacate him and punch his guts out. You have wepons like the plastic bag, glass shard, wire, nail gun, machette, shotgun, revolver six shooter, handgun, sub machingun, shotgun with a light, meat cleaver, tranqulizer, chainsaw, and Many more. The levels start out easy and start to get hard when the police get in. If you want cheats you're going to have to get them the hard way. Fetish mode you're enemys are easey're and you get a radar. Hardcore you're enemys are harder and you don't get a radar. You can use a wire to slice off an enemys head for distraction. There are different gangs that are trieng to hunt you and cut you up. The hand to hand combat is okay BUT you want to get a silent assasian to get better snuff ratings. The news reporter tries to help towards the end. Ps2 will always have the best version but unfortinitlly The ps2 gave Xbox a chance to have the game and online. At first I was furiuos intill I found out the two where combinding and Ps2 is Getting halo and Halo2. Back to Manhunt, St the end of the game you vs. Piggsy AKA. Directeor? This game is extreamlly bloody and Rated M which is wonderfull because it was going to be Ao. Sorry KIds
Great game, but wtf is up with the price gouging?

This game is one of my most-loved, all time favorite games released on the PS2. Now that I see it on here, as a GREATEST HITS TITLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO RETAIL FOR 20 BUCKS, BRAND NEW, why is it selling for near 35 new? Completely ridiculous.
All price complaints aside, if you haven't picked this game up, you really need to give it a shot. One of the coolest aspects of the game is how it really draws the player in using multiple aspects of sensory envelopment; the mysterious guide who verbally progresses you through the game can be heard outside of the game if you have a USB headset. The graphics, while not the best, definitely help draw the player into the gritty, dystopian atmosphere. Difficulty level can be relatively tough at times, especially if you are trying to gain the highest rating you can for a stage to unlock all the hidden features.
Overall, this game comes recommended. Just be warned that this game focuses on brutal killing of your enemies and psychotic adversaries; this game is DEFINITELY not for kids.
I've beaten the game.

I've had this game since the year it came out. I've heard positive things about it so I bought it. Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City were all over the media but this game is worse. This is a part of the genre of suspense and survival horror. It is very dark, protagonist is surviving from homicidal men, keeps players curious, and contains the gore and violence in a horror film/game/book.
Manhunt is about James Earl Cash. James is a prisoner on death row and is lethally injected. Mysteriously, he wakes up and wanders in camera filled environments with only him and homicidal gangs. A man communicates by mic with him and commands Cash to kill these men on camera execution style. Cash just wants to make it out of this situation by confronting the snuff director. The man communicating with Cash is directing the show. The director is foulmouthed and is entertained by Cash's killings(most entertained by level 3 executions). The director sounds insane and evidently suffers a addiction to murder.
The game gets boring at times. There's not much dialoque and it may take a long time to get an execution. The executions are gruesome. There are weapons like hammers, sickles, machetes, hatchets, bats, crowbars etc. There are three levels of executions on each weapons. Level 1 being less gruesome to level 3 being the most. The visual and audible nature of the executions are realistic and not for the faint of heart.
I've beaten the game and it was hard but I did it. There is a twist after the credits.
Manhunt 2 will come out rated M. There were some changes made compared to the AO version. Some executions were censored and some were removed.

One of the hardest games I have ever played, not just in gameplay but in terms of repeated violent imagery. I'm sure my mouth was wide open is shock for about the first half of the game, then I just got numb; Needless to say, this is still one of the funnest, most challenging, most 'I want to get my revenge' kind of games I have ever played. Make no mistake: True to Rockstar common practice, this game can be a total [...]; But little by little you get through it, and there lies the rewards. Just like Vice City or San Andreas, you have a sense of accomplishment when you're done; Plus it's a ride that you won't soon forget. Manhunt is so genius it's scary.
Great game!!!

First off many people complain about the gore but I like it I think it adds to the action.It also has so many weapons its crazy from the plastic bag to the sawed off 12 gauge shotgun they are all good.The new radar system is ingenious not being able to see anyone on radar if they are not moving are talkin is great!My favorite weapon is the Hand Axe because if you hold the square button down long enough you chop their neck.The only downsides are no choice in characters, no customizable outfits,and no brass knuckles!So lets review.
Pros:+ Great graphics
+ Great gameplay
+ Large amount of weapons
+ Very fun when you get a kill
Cons:+ Can be a bit slow at times
+ No customization
+ No choice in characters
There you have it despite the bad things this is still a five star game and worth buying.
Very violent

The setting is around a death row inmate, James Earl Cash, who society believes is dead. After he is sent to the execution chamber, he awakes into another room to find out that he's being used as a pawn by a man named Starkweather, a sadistic millionaire who has the police dept. on the take. He uses Cash to kill gang members and anyone else Starkweather doesn't like. Cash has to sneak up behind the gang members and execute them. When this is done, the camera does a close up of the execution, and they are quite brutal. Cash is able to do 3 levels of executions white, yellow, and red. The darker the color, the more vicious the killing. Lots of weapons which include: plastic bags, knifes, wire, staple guns, sniper rifles, pistols, revolvers, machine guns, shotguns, and a chainsaw. This game isn't for those who don't like the violent, blood, gore, cursing(lots). Hence the M rating. But if your into violent games, you'll like this one.
