Description

They just killed Cash. Now, they want to kill him again. America is full of run down, broken rust-belt towns where nobody cares and anything goes. In Manhunt's Carcer City, nothing matters anymore and all that's left are cheap thrills. The ultimate rush is the power to grant life and take it away, for sport. This time, James Earl Cash, you are the sport. They gave you your life back. Now, they are going to hunt you down. You awake to the sound of your own panicked breath. You must run, hide, and fight to survive. If you can stay alive long enough, you may find out who did this to you. This is a brutal blood sport.

Continuing in Rockstar North's tradition of world-class gameplay with high production values and sardonic humor, Manhunt explores the depths of human depravity in a vicious, sadistic tale of urban horror.

Gruesome but Could Have Been Better

This game is definitely not one for those short of patience. Even though this game was created by RockStar this game had an unusual flair for brutality and blood spill. In fact if I had read the PS2 cover I would not have guessed this game was made by the same creators who developed the Grand Theft Auto series. Unlike most games where you play a protagaonist who is either a reluctant hero or a willing hero, you play as a convict that was supposed to die by death penalty but has to take on a city full of thugs who are out for him, against his own will. And he's doing it all for the amusement of a rejected film maker. If you're not afraid of the sound of the chainsaw trust me after the last level you will be.

Pop quiz, hotshot!

Quick, does this sound good to you: Metal Gear Solid crossed with Grand Theft Auto?

-----
That's really the only question you need to answer to know if Manhunt is for you or not. Manhunt is an ultraviolent stealth action game. You need to sneak around, just like in MGS, but Rockstar has dialed up the gore, the violence, and the sick humor to GTA levels.

No need to sit through some convoluted, moralistic storyline here. The focus is on killing without getting killed yourself. Plastic bags, icepicks, crowbars, baseball bats, pistols, rifles...if you can pick it up, you can use it as a weapon. Simple, quick, effective.

Bottom line: If you dig the movies Clockwork Orange, Man Bites Dog, Reservoir Dogs, and Hard Boiled, Manhunt is for you. If you are a sensitive person, not yet old enough to see R-rated flicks, or think Wii Boxing is too intense, stay away--very, very far away--from Manhunt. You WILL be offended. Boo yah!

challenging, but tedious game

This game got really tedious because of the gameplay is very similar the whole game, but it is a bit hard though 2. i think this game is a bit overrated.

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.

Additional info for Manhunt

Features:

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 & more gruesome, 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.
