One Sick (and Fun), Scary Game

I heard a lot of buzz about Manhunt and was thoroughly impressed with the graphic executions and realistic stealth techniques. This game is so viciously graphic that it is actually scary. The plot of the game is you play as James Earl Cash, a convict who is believed to have been executed by the state only to realize he was kidnapped by a snuff film producer. Now he, you, must survive in an abandoned city while gangs try to kill you, while the entire adventure is being filmed. The best part so far is the executions, which are seen through the lens of the camera. I haven't finished the game but it is definetly worth the fifty dollars. Finally, a realistic, graphic, and well-concieved horror stealth game for the Xbox.

Love it

This is by far one of Rockstar Game's greatest achievments ever. The one mistake is that it is a multi platform game. When will rockstar make a game exclusively for the Xbox? When they do it will completely kill Sony. LONG LIVE XBOX AND MANHUNT. THE BEST SNEAKING GAME OUT THERE!)

The "Sleeper Hit".

First off, this game gained my intrest ever since I WATCHED it being played on the crappy PS2. I stress watched because I would never touch such a vile and disgusting pile of technological bile of which is the PS2. Sorry, almost lost it there. This game just goes to show you why Rockstar is one of the premier developers, they continue to push the envelope by using that beautiful little rating box in the lower right hand corner of your game case. They have found and intriguing little niche, by blending both stealth and survival horror into a graphical 8mm snuff film fest. As far as gameplay and control, don't look for Sam Fisher type moves but expect tight and well designed control schemes and level creativity. If you've watched the movie 8mm and the Running Man then you've got a pretty good idea what the story is about. My only quirk with the game is that their are no port improvements. There should have been some sort of "And this version has". It's like game companies know the Xbox is the superior console, but won't use it's power to the fullest extent. But anyway they'll realize the power the system has to create great games. So all you Xbox fans out there, don't let this great game slip through your fingers, in other words don't sleep on this sleeper hit. And if your wondering why I didn't give "This Great Game" a perfect 5 stars, it's because, as we all know, the greatest game of all time is Halo

Gore, Horror, please give me more!

Graphically, it could be better, but I gave it top ratings for the bloodshed. It is right up there with the suffering, carmageddon 2, mortal kombat, and Postal 2. One of the most violent games you will play! You are being hunted, its either you or them! That's the story line. PLEASE HELP SUPPORT VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES BY PURCHASING THIS NOW!! I hope this offends every religions and conservative nimrod on the planet...HAHA! (...)

Definitely a sleeper!

I like the control scheme of this stealth game, wish more stealth games had it. One of the most violent video games that I have ever played, very dark. I kind of like how it is intentionally done as a snuff film, hence the graphics, has a style of its own. The only other game that I have been able to bestow sleeper status is deathrow. I have to mention that title because I hope ubisoft makes another one!

YEAH!!

Manhunt possibly the most dark and violent game yet...very easily..here's the deal you're James Earl Cash an ex Deathrow convict re-awakened after a false execution of sorts by the mysterious DIRECTOR "Starkweather".....you awaken in your cell to the voice of the director telling you your not dead and you thus enter his sick game of HIDE AND SEEK...you start off in an alley way somewhat beaten up and barely concious to what's going on taking orders from the DIRECTOR through an earpiece you found in the cell....thus the killing begins...you're being stalked by guys called "HUNTERS" usally gang members,twisted psychos with masks,cops, ex-military personell, and swat members...all of which have their own trademark style of hunting and intelligence in which they stalk you....as James Earl Cash you must rely heavily on stealth to make it through this game...taking to the shadows and leaping out whenever you feel the time is right...but be careful not to make too much noise or you're alert the hunters to your presence and it's pretty much run or be made into hamburger.....there's about 20 levels in this game....each level get's harder up until the last few where the game gets downright insane.....and lastly pitting you up with a deranged pigman named Piggsy who will tear you apart in seconds if you don't aproach him right...Manhunt is a fun and challenging game another Rockstar hit or miss...may be too graphic for some...but for those who can stomach bloodlet...your stupid to miss out on this sickly likeness to the Schwarzegger movie "The Running Man"....pick this up if you like any of Rockstar's previous games..it's not GTA..but it works. :) Oh and get the headset for this game it makes the whole experience that much better being able to yell at the Hunters instead of beating on things to draw their attention.....good game..get it.

Great, unique game

Wow, looking at this game from a distance you would be sure what to think. But once you get close and play it you quickly realize that there is some fun gameplay to be had here.

My favoutrite item in this game is the use of the Live headset. If you don't got one while playing this game you are missing out on alot of the fun. The character in the game wears an earpiece in which the director gives him direction. Normally these put up on the screen as plain text, however put on your headset and you hear the director tell you what to do.

Also any noise you make is sent through the headset into the game. This brings you directly into the game, imagine that you are hiding from an enemy in the shadows, not only do you have to make sure your character is hid well but you have to remain quiet as well in real life as any loud sounds will alert the enemy to your posistion. Or use the opposite, use your own voice to draw an enemy closer while you wait in the shadows to execute him.

And this game means execute, once you sneak up behind someone and charge your kill into the red zone, sit back and watch the blood fly.

THIS IS YOUR FAV CHARLIE V1 MANHUNT ROX

QUIT CLOGING UP THE REVIEWS WITH YOUR LIFE STORY AND DAILY SITUATIONS. NOBODY CARES WHEN YOU CAN GET BACK ONLINE TO WRITE BLAND MAINSTREAM 5 STAR REVIEWS!!! This game is alright i guess if your enamored with the gore/profanity enough to pay no attention to the controller limitations. I thought it could have been so much more than just a stealth horror mission. Get's old and stupid for me but not as stupid as CHARLIE V1 WHO ALWAYS WRITES IN CAPS.
