What our customer's say!

"Too hard and Unbalanced ", The character you play is James Earl Cash,a man that was suppose to die on a electric chair,he escapes so every gang and group is everyone in the city is trying to find him.This game is fun when you first play it and then later on around the fourteenth level this game is way too difficult.This game has so many things wrong with how it plays,at least the violent stealth kills are cool,but besides that the game is lacking overall.In this game you mostly hide in the shadows and wait until they turn around and kill them with wire,plastic bag or shoot them in the head.The problem with this game is that when the character does not have a weapon he can not fight without losing a lot of health or everyone finding where you are at.Later on when you go against the swat you have to restart over and over because they outnumber you in better weapons and people.

When their is five enemies with machine guns against you that is unbalanced.Another problem is the radar,their could be an enemy standing right next to you and the radar will not show it and then you get seen.The game is about stealth kills in the beginning,but later on the stealth is replaced most of the time with guns,which is not fun when you are outnumbered.The health items are hidden and hard to find so you are likely have to start over it find where it is at,saving is not any better and you cannot save unless you get really far into the level before you get the save point tape item.

Manhunt is not a fun game to play and it wasn't for the extreme difficultly this game would be better.This game fequently uses the hit and run tactic most of the time because the fighting is useless and you are outnumbered with enemies with better weapons.This game overall is fun until you get to last five levels than it's too fustrating.

Pros: stealth kills, grainy videos and voice acting

Cons: cannot save without save hit tape, ridiculous amount of enemies at once with better weapons,can't see enemies on radar that are very close,frustrating difficulty that makes you crazy after you play the same level over and over



"For a particular type of gamer", Manhunt

This game is great, if you like stalking and killing other poor souls. It is very well made with a real sense of danger and risk. Very fun to play with the lights off and has great replayability as you are able to unlock various cheats, bonus minigames and artwork by playing on the harder difficulty level. Definitely worth the money. It's one of my absolute favorite games for PC.

"A mediocre steath game", The premise of Manhunt seems fresh enough: protagonist gets off death row, is dropped in a dangerous part of town, and is hunted by thugs while the cameras are rolling. On the good side, the game has convincing atmosphere, the gameplay mechanics work well, the cutscenes are good, and the voice acting is appropriate for the theme. Bad side: very repetitive gameplay, cheap tactics can get you out of most tight spots, and you never really feel connected to the character or his story. This is too bad, given that the developer (Rockstar) has made some truly amazing games (like Grand Theft Auto 3) using similar mechanics and themes.

Manhunt is pure and simple a stealth game. Cash, the protagonist, can fight hand-to-hand, but the game is intended to be placed in stealth mode. Some of the stealth killings are indeed intense and gruesome, but after about 5 missions they become less shocking. The game primarily consists of distracting an enemy, finding a hiding place, sneaking up behind him, and executing him. Wash, rinse, repeat. Some people are going to like this, and I must admit that the brutality of the kills is morbidly fascinating, at least at first. However, this kind of gameplay has been done much better in games such as Hitman. If you can stand the very repetitive nature of the gameplay, this might be worth checking out. Otherwise, try something like Hitman: Blood Money or one of the Splinter Cell games instead.

Pros
+Good idea for a game
+Some truly over-the-top executions
+Good voice acting
+Typical controls for this sort of game

Cons
-extremely repetitive after a while
-merely decent graphics
-not enough tension
-little character development
-the checkpoint save-game system

"Splonter Ceel", You take splinter cell, you take away the engaging story line, you take away complex level design, you take away character versatility, you take away advanced graphics, you take away objective variety, you got manhunt.

Zip, zap, zoop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you James Earl Cash.", By this point, it's safe to say that Rockstar Games in general -- and Rockstar North in particular -- will be known for all time as the makers of the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto games. Nothing wrong with that; I happen to love GTA, and I probably always will. But that doesn't mean they can't do something different every once in a while.

And believe me, friend, this is something COMPLETELY different.

James Earl Cash, a death row inmate, is set to be executed...and he is. No, wait; he isn't. He's tranquilized by the corrupt staff and his life bought by a man named Lionel Starkweather, to be the "star" of the latest MANHUNT, a lethal bloodsport/snuff film where Cash must fight to survive against murderous gangs out to kill him on sight. So while it has shades of survival horror games like RESIDENT EVIL, or stealth games like METAL GEAR SOLID, this is a whole different beast. You can't survive a fight against massed numbers; you have to be quick, quiet, and utterly ruthless, and strike from the shadows.

Weapons are like nothing you've ever seen, ranging from the conventional to the brutal to the inconsequential. They're arranged in four color-coded categories. GREEN weapons are completely silent, one-handed affairs, but they're used up after a single use, and they include such everyday items as a plastic bag or a glass shard. YELLOW weapons are more useful as lures; you throw them to draw a hunter into a trap, and they include such simple things as bricks, bottles, or cans. BLUE weapons aren't as quiet as greens, but can be reused, and are more varied; a hand axe, a scythe, a crowbar, handguns, etc. RED weapons are two-handed, and are the most powerful and brutal in the game; metal baseball bats, rifles, you get the idea. You can only carry one of each class of weapon, so you'll have to choose carefully, depending on the situation.

Carcer City itself is a very different animal from the other cities in the GTA games. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Detroit, but you can forget thinking you'll be on foot in a place similar to Liberty City. Carcer is a decaying metropolis; nearly every level takes place in a location that's been closed down and abandoned. City blocks, shopping malls, apartment complexes, you name it; they're all dark, shadowy, and rotting, sprayed with graffitti, festooned with garbage, but far from being empty. In fact, they're literally pulsing with menace and dread.

The gangs of hunters you'll face are psychotic in their own way, and barely human. Hoods, Skinz, Wardogs, Innocentz, Smileys...they're all more animal than man, and they need to be put down like the rabid dogs they are. Even the corrupt Carcer City police and Starkweather's personal guard, the Cerberus, will be lining up against you. And with the weapons you'll acquire, you'll be able to take them down in some very imaginative and gruesome ways.

That's not to say the game doesn't have its occasional flaws, however. One of the most glaring being: precisely what was it Cash did that got him on death row? Did he actually do it, or was he set up by Starkweather? Not knowing these things made it a little harder for me to be able to sympathize with him, unlike Tommy Vercetti or Carl Johnson. In fact, Cash is such a walking cypher that he's only a few steps above the mute protagonist of GTA3; he actually speaks, and you know his name, but that's about it. And while one mission introduces two men and two women identified as his family, they're never named, and we never learn just HOW they're related to him. Are they his brothers and sisters? Cousins? We never know.

But in spite of all that, this is still a harrowing, thrilling game. It's long been a habit of mine to compare a game to movies I find similar if I were to explain it to someone else. And in this case, I'd have to say if you took the blighted urban landscape of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, the death-as-a-game-show aspect of THE RUNNING MAN, the gangs of human jackals from THE WARRIORS, the depths of human depravity you'd find in SAW, and combined it all with the absolute, inhuman garbage you'd find on most of today's reality TV game shows, you'd find MANHUNT staring right back at you just seconds before it plunges a glass shard into your eyes.

And blood?

Oh, yes. There will be blood.

"Boring and Frustrating", I played 8 levels and this game is a combination of all that sucks about computer gameplay....1. ALL STEALTH and NO PLAY is totally BORING. 2. Preset game save is total BS when you finish 1/2 of a tough level and lose to some stupid logistical nightmare of getting around a wall while being shot at and of course dying easy. 3. I like to watch real time game play when I attack someone..not a video outtake!! I tore it off my hard drive and plan to give this game to someone I hate.

IT IS NO FUN....DONT BUY IT.

"sick, twisted, brutal, but fun", This is probably one of the best stealth based games made of recent years. But it is also one of the most brutal games I have ever played, it has some parts that are hard for even I to watch, which is saying a lot.

The basis of the game is that you are playing a bad man named cash, who was put to death for murder. But it turns out that he wasn't killed, he was put unconscious. When he wakes it turns out that he is being put into a form of a "snuff film". Where he is being filmed by some rich, eccentric, sicko that likes to see people murdered, and is going to make him a film star. You are put into preselected areas with gangs of various types that are trying to kill you, and you can't get out of the level until you either kill all of them or kill enough to open the door. Most of the levels are stealth, but there are some that are more traditional first person shooter apects of shooting and killing all enemies. Including some levels where stealth is tertiary to shooting skills. Unlike most first person shooters though, you never have access to body armor, and can't take many shots at all.

The weapons are more of a personal type. The first being plastic bags, shards of glass, and billyclubs. The first two are one use weapons, you kill someone and it is lost. Some are multi use, like the billy club, baseball bat, crowbar, machete, etc....... When you are doing a stealth kill you can be patient and quiet enough to sneak behind the target and wait until your target sign goes from white, to yellow, to red. The higher the color the more brutal the death and the more bonus points you can get. Creating a sick way to play the game harder. You can face them mano e mano, but this is harder since they are pretty tough and usually armed, and doesn't get you any bonus points. You also have the ability to throw various objects to get people to investigate, then you can sneak up on them while they are exploring the noise.

This game was fun, but it was sick in the tradition of Grand Theft Auto, and above. Just the premise of being in a snuff film is enough, but the insane brutality of the games kills. You stab peoples eyes out, crack their heads with bats, or decaptitate them with machetes. You can even keep heads to throw and attact the enemy to the area. The only aspect that makes it even is that the people you are killing aren't good people. the first group you face are gangbangers dressed in hoods, the second group is white trash aryan white supremists, the third are mentally ill in halloween masks, crazed survivalists etc.... The conversations you can overhear shows that they are murderous hateful individuals. so it is redeaming morally in that point alone.

Definitely don't play this game if you have an impressionable mind or don't like violence or gore. This game is probably more graphic and violent that grand theft auto, which is saying a lot. But it was a well made game, with good mecahnics, a decent interface, and challenging aspects. hopefully this group will put something else out, but I shudder to think what they will have to do to push the envelope this time.



"Wonderful", Manhunt is the kind of game that prides itself on atmosphere and gratutious violence. The makers of this game obviously have Seven in their DVD collections. The grit and grime of the urban landscape is in full effect, obviously their intent was to make this city seem like hell. THey succeeded. The voiceovers are ok, except for Brian Cox who is amazingly good as Starkweather. This game is one in which you can gather around the friends, break out the machete and show a brutal slaying to "oooooh's" and "aaaaaah's." My list of complaints: No unlimited saving, the shootout parts of this game are horrendously frustrating, and I just think the checkpoint system should be killed entirely from games. Its ok for a game to be hard, just not so hard that you break stuff. Anyway, if you want an atmospheric game that really just disturbs the hell out of you. You got it.

"Manhunt on Xbox", I was really excited when this game was first advertised. But was mad when it only for PS2. Well it cam to Xbox! I rented the game b/c it looked a little strong. IT IS! This is game that your mother warned you about. Blood, gore, curseing its all here. This game is not for everyone! Know that! But for those with stomach for Rockstar's "Manhunt" will get a pretty good game. You are James Earl Cash, a "dead man" stuck in a wasteland called Carcer City whare you are hunted by 5 gangs each with a differnt look as well as diffent ways of hnting and killing you. There is not as much stratagy in the game as I had hoped. It's pretty easy to hide. The game was not as scary as I anticipated ethier. But some kill sceens are intense. The game gets a tad borning after a while. It's just the same thing. Salking and killing. This is a game you should deffinately rent. Rockstar is still the best at putting out origenal, crowd pleasing titles.

"A violent (but solid) stealth game", Overall, I found "Manhunt" to be a pretty enjoyable stealth game. It has very simple and reliable mechanics, and it's easy to pick up and play. Thus, it manages to be somewhat fun by avoiding a lot of the unsatisfying trial-and-error that accompanies most stealth games (like "Splinter Cell"). The game also throws in some token shooting sequences which aren't as well fleshed out, but also end up being kind of enjoyable as a change of pace, if nothing else.

Manhunt is a great setting for a stealth game. You are a death row inmate, being hunted on a great big movie set by gangters, lunatics, and other scum of the earth. All the while, a sick perverted director talks into your ear and eggs you on. He is constantly badgering you to kill, kill, kill. And when you do, it's not a pretty sight. The game is dripping with atmosphere. This is the most brilliantly atmospheric stealth game that I have played since System Shock 2. It's not really scary so much as disturbing. Especially one chapter that takes place in an old mental institution.

There's basically nothing extraordinary here as far as game mechanics goes. Manhunt has a simple formula that borrows heavily from other stealth games. You hide in shadows, and guards have three stages of alertness: clueless, suspicious, and fully aware. The behavior of the guards is pretty predictable, and the stealth routine is easy to learn. Everything works well here because of the setting. The hunters make for some really good fodder. Generally, they are lazy or just screwed up, which explains why they give up looking for you so soon after you alert them.

The visuals for the game are not spectacular or cutting edge, but they get the job done. What the game lacks in high-tech eye candy, it makes up for by throwing a large variety of environments and scenery at you. All of it fits in well with the dark and disturbing theme of the game. Still, the areas could have used more detail.

Where this game really excels is in the sound category. Sound is crucial for a stealth game, and here it is perfect. The music is dynamic. It is quiet when you are hidden, and it picks up when you step out of the shadows. When somebody spots you, it picks up in intensity again. The voice acting is top-notch, and there are tons and tons of great sound bites filled up with it. Some of them are disturbing, while others are just funny, like the radio stations in the "Grand Theft Auto" games. "Manhunt" shows the same attention to detail in the sound department that Rockstar's other games have shown. The guy who really steals the show is the voice actor for the main villain. The raving mad, wealthy genius, Starkweather is one of the best villains to show up in video gaming in a long, long time.

The biggest fault with this game as that it still gets repetitive about halfway through, despite attempts to give you different goals every level. You find yourself repeating the same few actions over and over - bang on wall, hide in shadows, wait for guard to pass by, sneak up on guard, kill guard, repeat. A few the levels are too loaded with enemies to use stealth, and end up being incredibly frustrating. The game also has essentially zero replay value, because of its linear nature.

"Manhunt" is a really good game. The excessive gore and violence enhance the experience, but they aren't the game's only features. Don't be put off by reviews saying that the game has nothing besides gore imagery. There is a good game here. If you like stealth-action games, or if you like Rockstar's other games, then you will like "Manhunt".
