  • Summary: 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 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. [Rockstar]… Expand

    A subversive parody that cleverly indicts our depraved culture? If it makes you feel better about having a shitload of sadistic fun, sure.

    When it's firing on all cylinders Manhunt is a disturbingly entertaining take on the stealth action genre with the trademark high quality Rockstar production that mask some of its shortcomings. But scratch beneath its grimy surface and it's blighted by serious AI issues, repetitive gameplay and frustrating combat.

    It's just one gruesome kill after another until the violence loses its punch. Too bad that happens after the first couple missions. If you want a stealth game, there are better ones out there. If you want blood, do yourself a favor a buy a tube of red dye #5, instead.

    Smash or trash time, and this game well deserves a perfect score. Sure there is better stealth games out there and better graphics and all that other special crap, but this game didn't need it to pull of a great experience. I love the fact that this game of very,very,very, few can pull off a well deserved mature rating ( I don't know how many other titles try to pull it off and fail to succeed). I am not a pyschopath, i know the difference between reality and virtual reality, but I believe there should be a sequel (pray to the almighty Rockstar) if not more games of its kind.... but again please let there be a sequel.… Expand

    It starts with a lot of premise. Interesting setting, story , characters , controls and mechanics. Creates a scary atmosphere and you get prepared for a horror stealth action adventure. Then everything becomes dissapointing. The plot unexisted, the characters remain flat and the gameplay gets very repetive and frustrating. The graphics are good and the sound is very good. The presentation of the game could have been better. More extras and more easy unlockables would have good too. The violence gets repetive and so is the whole experience. There are better games outthere than this.… Expand

    I originally bought this game because I had so much of the hoo-ha surrounding it that I just felt I had to give it a go to see what all the fuss was about. And after having played it for a few days, I still couldn't tell. Yes, the game is (at times unnecessarily) gory, yes it's extremely violent, but unfortunately it's also not very good. The difference between the speed of Cash's walk and his run were too extreme, making any attempts at sneaking up then running away near impossible to accurately control. The stealth element, while pretty well executed, was let down by the slow pace of the game. Basically, this game is great for anyone who's going to find it funny or thrilling to stab a character in the neck with a crowbar. Anyone else should leave well alone, because this game just isn't strong enough in terms of gameplay to make anything other than a cheap shockfest.… Expand
