While Rockstar has proved itself in the gaming world by producing incredible games with depth, character, and shall we say, "diverse" subject matter; Manhunt falls awfully short on all these levels. Although the premise is interesting (interesting enough for people just to buy the game based on a snuff flick), its execution (pardon the pun) lacks the elements which we have all come to expect from rockstar.

Based on the same engine used in the GTA series, we control a poorly rendered character in a poorly rendered environment. After playing GTA, one would expect a much larger urban sprawl than the skimpy levels we're given. Instead, we're given maybe one or two (real) paths to any given goal. Which contrary to belief, does not make the game dynamic.

Chase cams get awkward when confronted with certain elements, making you lose sight of enemies and objects. This gets especially annoying when u think you're gonna finish that kill and end up kicking a can. Subsequently, getting your ass kicked.

Silly missions and triggers make the game more of a chore than an enjoyable experience. In one, you have to utilize a crane to... drop a refrigerator on gang members shoooting nails at you. The applauded "Drunk Driving" level is nothing but a little added fluff that adds nothing to the game but annoyance.

Enemy AI.... what? I've seen math problems with more surprises.

Manhunt, like all rockstar games, had the potential to be something incredible. Unfortunately, it was not realized.

Parents! DO NOT buy or let your kids buy this game!

When I played this game at my friend's house, i was ready to lose my lunch over the intensity of gore in this game. you can slice peoples' throats wide open, and leave them there screaming for mercy. I wasnted to throw up. Also, this game displayes racism towards many ethnic groups, giving me another reason to not buy it, because I am one of those ethnics. Parents, if there is one game I would NEVER reccommend you buying for you or your kids, it is definitley this game. I have never seen a game this evil and prejudice against cultures in my 13 years on the planet earth. also, you can take axes and throw them at peoples heads, leaving their brains spilled out all over the ground, or you can literally blow them in half with a shotgun. This game must be taken off the market. There is too much of this racism going on in the world today, and these pointless games make it worse. If you have ever played "The Getaway" which is a game for PS2, similar to Grand Theft Auto, and you see the horrible level of racism in that game, multiply that by 3, and you have "Manhunt." It is worse than Grand Theft Auto Vice City!
We don't need this kind of thing in video games! Think of all thew other good games we have for our consoles! If you have XBox, gat halo, or brute force, or if you have gamecube, get a mario party game! If you have PS2, get Medal of Honor, or Splinter Cell! What I am trying to point out is that there are other video games out there that are better than this and don't include this graphic racism and violence. Think about it, and make the right decision. Think of the minds of your kids and how these sorts of games are brainwashing their generation that different races are bad. It's all GARBAGE.One final statement: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S: dont buy this game!

What I find more disturbing than the subject of this game is the insanely bad grammar and spelling of the people who rated it the highest. There seems to be an inverse relationship between level of litereracy and the love of this game. You people need to get some balance in your lives and expect more from yourselves.

If you are expecting something something along the lines and quality of GTA:Vice City-

Forget it.

I don't have a problem with a violent, adult orientated game. Hey, it can be fun to play a homicidal maniac. But this game just gets repetitive and dull. Hide in shadows... Kill. Hide. Kill. You don't even have any real combos when you do have to fight an opponent. It gets old really fast.

I'm quite surprised that with the reputation that Rockstar has, they would release a game of this low quality. The graphics aren't that great, the action slow and tedious.

I'm glad I got this game as a gift instead of purchased- I would have been very angry at the loss of my money. If you must know about this game, RENT BEFORE YOU BUY!!

Cool Concept but poorly executed

THis game was fun for about two hours, then it became more of the same old thing. Sneak up behind a guy, kill him and move on to the next guy who you end in the same manner. OVER AND OVER!
The fighting mechanics are terrible, you are a big burly Vin Deisel look alike who has to hit the average baddie about 10 times just to knock him down,yeah right. If the fighting and combos were better and the game had more story(it technically has NO story whatsoever)I may have liked it more.
Rent before you buy!

hahahahahahahaha

I love rockstar games like grand theft auto 3 and vice city but this is horrible. It's horrible! You're a killer on trial for execution but then you ecsape and KILL KILL KILL! This is horrible! It's like a new generation! Why did rockstar make such a game with such brutality. I mean this game could invulence kids to be serial killers when they grow up. After this it's a ok game. Fun shooting game but; darn dude way to much bloody gorey violence!

This is so stupid

Okay, as if we don't have enough killing games already. GTA3 VC and other games are all fine and dandy, but this is just dumb. There is no point to it. It's stupid and everything is very fake and lloks dumb. I can't believe people play this crap.

the hype is all nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
