I wish the PS4 update had fixed the controls. The controls are very frustrating. But this game is a uniquely brutal game.

Manhunt is one of theses games which pleases the gore hound in me. It is release for behaviour deemed 'unwise' in reality not to mention the level of controversy the game received due to the Neo-Con Lobby of England and the Daily Mail. However in a way one could also argue the boundaries of taste giving the fascination people have with reality TV. Players are placed into the world of James Earl Cash who has been given a second shot at life only to be used a pawn in a brutal bloodsport with the 'director' pulling his strings. It cleverly ties into the Grand Theft Auto world although I would argue that Liberty City seems like Vegas compared to Carcer City. It is them up to the players to implicate extreme measures or violence and brutality to please their audience and at the same time keep them-selves alive. It is easy to get into , fun , fast paced and also very atmospheric with a still a few jump out moments and the gore level in it will satisfy any inner freak. I think the only thing about Manhunt is that it well the missions can be a very repetitive which may lead to concentration lapses which makes things frustrating from time to time. And also the camera might be a little bit frustrating at the worst of times. However putting that aside Manhunt has to be played as it is there to offend and please anybody who hates some self-righteous moralistic prate who wants to tell us how to live our lives. Check it out if your in a mood for blood. They have also recently lifted the ban on Manhunt 2 giving the media frenzy surrounding the first and I shall indeed be checking it out, hopefully it will live up to the hype.

MANHUNT : 8.3 OUT OF 10

THEY HAVE JUST KILLED JAMES EARL CASH. NOW THEY WANT TO KILL HIM AGAIN...

The feeling that this game gives while playing is genuinely unrivalled in this type of game. The gameplay, while basic, has a lot to offer- from melee combat, to stealth, to gunplay. The world building and design of Carcer City and it's inhabitants is on par with even the greatest GTA game. I miss the Rockstar games of the early to mid 2000s, before they started to milk Grand Theft Auto V. Safe to say it's up there with my favourite Rockstar Games, despite it being a lot more basic than many of their other titles. One of my favourite horror games ever, intense, creepy and fun, would 100% recommend to any horror game fan.

This is one of the best game that Rockstar ever created like it's very underrated. James Earl Cash is the best part of the game because he's a stone cold killer. I like the idea of making the style of a snuff film theme. This game needs to be popular right now! I'm sick of tire of fanboys on YouTube making GTA click bait or saying how GTA is awesome. To the people that never play this game get a PS4, (I've play this on the Original Xbox) pay 14.99 on Play Station Stores and play it that's it. I want Manhunt 3 even though their's Manhunt 2 but I didn't play it yet so I want to play Manhunt 2.

I must of played this game 100 times ..I got 5 stars on every scene (on hardcore mode)..Then I discovered the "cheat modes" (that can only be accessed if you get 5 stars on hardcore mode in every scene ).I haven't played this game in years..But, I still have it !! Definitely one of my favorites !

Rated M for Strong Brutal Graphic Violence,Language and Disturbing Content.

I have heard a lot about the game Manhunt.So when I got my Playstation 2.That was one of the games I wanted to play.So I eventually got it.I did not like the game at first.I thought it was very overrated.I found it a bit boring and the combat really sucked.But then I started playing it a bit more and I grew to love it! This is a great game that you may not like a first but it will grow on you.My only problem with this game is the combat.The combat is not very good.It is almost impossible to kill enemies with Melee Weapons.If you do kill them, most likely your health will be very low.You should not use melee combat.This is a stealth game.It is more fun to just hide in shadows, waiting for the enemy to come to you, wait until the enemy turns away, target them until the target turns white,yellow or red and voilà!, watch the very gruesome and violent cutscene of your character killing the enemy.This is what the game calls a "Stealth Kill".This game is very violent.One of the most violent games I have ever played.It is not very violent when you are just fighting but when you do a "stealth kill", it can get really gruesome.In the beginning of the game, you just have melee weapons like Baseball Bats,Glass Shards,Plastic Bags,Wire etc.However in the middle of the game, you and the enemies have guns and you can choose to "Stealth Kill" the enemies or just blow them away! This is the plot of the game.You are "James Earl Cash".A prisoner who was sentenced to death.However an underground "snuff film" director bribed the police and saved you in exchange for you to star in a series of the directors "Snuff Films".There are plenty of gangs trying to kill you in the movies and you must kill them all.The game is fairly violent and disturbing and not recommended for young children.However, I recommend this game if you can handle the violence and love stealth games.

Best game ever. Has absolutely everything. Can be completed in 1000s of ways. Just the most ruthless, violent game ever. Manhunt 2 wasn't as good but still had some of the gameplay of the first one. Grand theft auto is the only thing that comes close.

While the story is good and the violence is some of the best I've ever seen and the controversy is interesting the mechanics of the game are flawed the game itself kinda controls like ass but apart from that it was an ok ride.

There hasn't been a game this violent since the early Mortal Kombat games. Rockstar pushes the video game world even more with this gory game. You play as James Earl Cash. He is a prisoner who was thought to be killed at the beginning of the game. When really he just gets a huge dose of sedatives.

Cash wakes up to hear the voice of the "director". He is a mentor of sorts. He is out to make a big snuff film with Cash as the main star. You set out in the streets of Carcer city.

While the premise of the game is very good and original the game has some flaws. The first few levels are short and they just get you established on how to off each gang member with a different weapon in a stylish violent way.

The controls feel very sluggish at times and could use more polishing. The first few levels are sort of boring at times also. Thats just my opinion. There is hardly any story here at all. Most of the time is just mindless violence with a large amount of blood and crude language.

The vast amount of lines each gang member has is amazing and its what Rockstar is becoming famous for. You will hardly ever hear a gang member say the same thing twice. If you are looking for a game with a huge story with a lot of depth to it. Then this is not the game for you. If you are offended by excessive extreme profane language this game is not for you.

If you are looking for a game that has extreme violence and not afraid to try something different then this game is for you.

Not enough has been said about Brian Cox's contribution to this game. With their signature line of 'Grand Theft Auto' titles, Rockstar Games has brought a cinematic flair to gaming with character work provided by Hollywood favorites like Ray Liotta, Gary Busey, Lee Majors, and others. In Manhunt, Brian Cox voices the Director's taunts with a sadistic voracity that brings the world of the game to life. The Director is the star of the game, in this humble gamer's opinion.

I played through each and every level out of the hope to meet him at the end - whether or not this happens is for you to discover, or not. Having long been a fan of Cox's work (from Braveheart to 25th Hour), I enjoyed the commitment he brought to a character as unsavory as a man who wishes to capture death and violence as a piece of entertainment. While the story for this game is minimal by design, it is expertly driven by Cox and his prodding of the main character to get out there and perform for the cameras.

At one point, I left Cash hiding in the shadows while I left him to grab a glass of water. By the time I returned, the Director was shouting at me: "Put some F***ing effort into this!!!" Hats off to Rockstar for combining strong performance with programming that is smart enough to know when it should be delivered. This is a truly unique gaming experience that provides for an interaction with a voyueristic hound who barks in your every step along the way of the journey.

***Tip: Have It Read To You, Heres How***

1) Copy And Paste This To Notepad (NOT WORD) 2) Go To. START>ALL PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>ACCESSABILTY>NARRATOR

Have you ever woke up on Christmas day when you was young and seen a present that was so nicely wrapped, with the best looking paper that you just couldn't wait to open it, then when you do you find that all you got was socks? This was what Manhunt was like for me. I seen it in the shop and thought "Wow, that looks like a game aimed a cult movie fans, with a feel of films like 'Man Hunter' or 'The Warriors'" and to be fair I don't think I was TO stupid for thinking this, mainly down to the fact Man Hunter star Brian Cox was providing the voice of a sadistic director.

I didn't buy the game from day one for some reason, but I did intend to play it at some point. It was actually when I watch The Warriors on DVD with some mates that I decided to exchange an old game for this which was about £15 at the time, and in true cult style surrounded in controversy. Everything about this game looked so cool, from when it told me to set the screen to get the "BEST EXPERIENCE" and that it was set in a city at night. However once I got into the game I had in theory finish unwrapping the paper only to find that I had got some socks and underwear, and seeing as I exchanged for it I couldn't take it back. So it was a case of *Fake Smile* and "Thanks For This Wonderful Present, Its What I Always Wanted".

To me it feels like Rockstar realized that the game play was sluggish and rather than scrap the whole thing decided to do was singers do when they have a terrible song, make it so it gets band (Well Almost).

I could just see them in the offices now...

"Sir its about the game Manhunt" "Whats wrong with it" "Well, theenemies AI..." "Is that all" "No there's also the sluggish combat, poor graphics, repetitive game play, its boring and when you get into a fight you just end up taking turns hitting one another till someone drops, should we scrap it?" "No, I've got a better idea..."

Then after adding about 100 swear words and tons of gore we got Rockstars Manhunt.

To be honest I thought that the story was ace, the idea that you are being hunted by an entire city was awesome, it felt like I was going to play a video game based on 'The Running Man' but the game play just plain sucks. For one each level is just the same in that you kill everyone in an area and then move on to another, like all video games the enemies start of weak and then end up being Hard Ass's. This gets very boring when you realize there its a trick to killing everyone which is, hide in the shade, tap the wall and make the enemy come to you and then wait for him to turn away so you can make your move. Another thing that ticks me off about the game is how little verity there is, its feel like it is one plate of peas trying to feed 100 people.

The enemies AI is like that of a SNES game, but maybe even a little worse. For example if you get seen and then subsequently chased all you need to do is hide in the shade, you don't even need to worry about them if they see you go in there as they will just wait for a few seconds and then say "Well, I guess that it was nothing" HOW CAN IT BE NOTHING, I WAS JUST 5 SECONDS BEFORE PUNCHING YOU IN THE FACE!!! At least in Super Mario the enemy knew to walk back and forward, they even frightened me more.

I did like that the game have great voice acting from Brian Cox, who was not only menacing but also side-splitting funny in parts. Like when a member of Cash's (the guy you play as) family gets shot in the head, you hear

"Ow no, thats just to bad"

OK when read it might seem lame, but its not so much what he says its how he says it.

In conclusion I can't think why any cult fan would what to buy this when the awesome Warriors video game is out there, maybe for about £5 its worth it to hear the genius of Mr. Cox, the saving grace in this pair of socks.

One word can be used to describe this game,....WOW. From the word go you are thrown into a dark, depressing and lonely Carcer City. Taking on the role of convicted killer James Earl Cash you are thrust into the middle of a snuff movie with only the directors voice in your earpeice for company. From there on, the game gets more psychollogically disturbing. Its kill or be killed and with each gruesome decapitation you begin to feel more and more comfortable with sneeking up behind people and driving a crowbar through their neck. eventually u will begin to enjoy the mindless killing that this game thrives on. there isnt an outstanding plot or anything that sets it apart. the only thing that may keep you coming back is the satisfaction you get from offing a hunter in one of several gruesome styles. anyway, it aint a game for the logical gamer, and it aint a game for those interested in shoot em ups but if u like insane violence and endless profanity mixed in with a touch of black humour courtesy of the director (voiced brilliantly by fellow scotsman Brian Cox) then there may be just enough here to keep you going until the predictable conclusion. It wont be most peoples cup of tea though and it will definately cause alot of controversy but its still gonna be a modern classic.

Just to give you an understanding of how bad this game is, I've played 120 something games and I with out hesitation can say this is the worst. I always will hear out different opinions on games I like or dislike but I cannot understand any justified opinions on this game actually being good.

I'll start out with some positives (,there aren't very many) -for the most part the character design is fine nothing amazing but memorable enough -the sound effects are done decently well -the idea is definitely there and this COULD be a decent game -the graphics are pretty good for the time

Now the bads:

-the game is ridiculously boring and I legit started falling asleep while playing -the combat is absolutely atrocious and that's an understatement because there is not a word in the English language that could describe how awful it its -the stealth is mind-bogglingly dull and the entire game is just standing in shadows -the level design is so dull and forgettable -the characters are so uninteresting and I don't even know how I managed to remember some of the names.

-there's barely any Gameplay features meaning the 10 hours qorth of Gameplay is just repetitive and boring (just like the level design)

Overall if you want to play a rockstar game from the 2000s play Max Payne or gta not this abomination. It relies solely on shock factor with the violence and does nothing else to make it stand out.

It's boring, repetitive and feels Unfinished.

If you have any kind of built up anger from a day of hard work, just sit down, turn on your Playstation and put in Manhunt, the ultimate game to take your rage out on. With dozens of varied and very violent ways to execute exceptionally hate able characters this is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth for gore. Done in a cctv camera style, this is an original, addictive and challenging stealth game that in fact requires a lot of time and thought. The only drawback with it is the later levels where stealth kills are no longer the way to succeed; it's an array of fun but repetitive gunfights. But don't let me give you the wrong idea; this along with Max Payne and San Andreas is easily Rockstar's finest offering, well most violent anyway. Vicious, blood thirsty and good fun.

Just because it's gory it doesn't mean the game is bad and encouraging violence Actually manhunt is quite the opposite instead of humiliating you for killing it asks you is this is what you enjoy?

Although its impossible but i wish from Rockstar to make a third manhunt and remember what people liked in manhunt.

This, to me, is a game that is built on one thing and one thing only - atmosphere. From the virtually music-less title screen to the uber-gritty game itself, the entire game is dedicated to setting you on edge. As a game, it isn't fantastic, it can get a little repetitive and really frigging difficult, but the tension that is there at all times takes any attention away from the gameplay and puts it onto how scared you can actually be of a video game. And to Rockstar's credit, they do it fantastically, by using all the dirty tactics you can think of:

SOUND: Heartbeat - BGM only when you're spotted - Brian Cox as the maniacal Director, always urging you to kill

GAMEPLAY: Poor visibility - A radar that still ensures you can turn a corner and be surprised by a friggin scary hunter - Having everyone else in the entire game's sole purpose being to kill you - The fact that if you are spotted, and they find you, and you get into a fight with more than one of them, you WILL die

Overall, a scary game? Yes. A tense game? Yes. A good game? There are many games that are a great deal better. But you should rent it out, if only to see how much sick enjoyment you'll get out of splattering the contents of someone's skull all over the wall using only a baseball bat. I think you'll be surprised.

6.5/10

Fantastic, it is impossible to recommend this enough. Whatever amount you pay for this it will be worth every penny. A game that is just so worthy that you could easily go back to it again and again. When I first seen scenes of people getting heads carved off and people with mental problems running round with guns I was a little freaked out. Then I got over that initial shock and now I will never know how I could live without this in my collection. Anyone who wants a decent game to keep themselves going for a while should get this, unless, of course, your too scared. Not suitable for people of a nervous disposition, or those afraid of their own shadow.

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs

James Earl Cash (Stephen Wilfong) is a convicted killer who has just been sent to the execution chamber.However,he awakens to find himself in a cold,deserted room where a mysterious man over an intercom (Brian Cox-thought that voice sounded familiar!) gives him instructions to go out in the streets and kill gangs of marauding hoodlums terrorizing them.And,deciding to put his second chance to good use,he obeys...

The premise to the game is very similar (if not a direct rip-off!) of Luc Besson's Nikita,when you come right down to it (only without such a sexy lead!!!)It's got a fair bit of bad publicity lately for it's attribution to the murder of a teenager by his best friend.Something I at first mistook for perverse curiosity but later found to be more genuine inquisitiveness (if not education!) tempted me to rent it.I've got to be honest,I can see how it might sway certain weak-minded individuals,as it has a storyline that is moreorless obsessed with bloody,violent death (even the rats explode into puddles of blood when you race over them!)You get points for the amounts of executions you make and Cox's goading,cackling voice-overs have a fairly ghastly,ghoulish quality to them,in the light of things.As though that weren't bad enough,you see hoodlums begging for mercy as they cower on the floor after you've beaten them,and you can only progress further after you've slashed,walloped or,most sickeningly and disturbingly of all,punched and kicked them to death (even though you could have had mercy on them!)

That said,of all the games I've rented out and played recently,it's certainly the most easy to play.Over the first two days I had it,I had trouble getting past the two hoodlums directly outside the shopping mall,but when I eventually managed to defeat them,I really felt myself progressing.Unfortunately,I had to take it back that day (today!) and,well,maybe I'll get to play it again sometime...

I think it would be wrong to ban every single person from playing it and other games like it on the basis of a few bad apples,but if you are able to just see it for what it is,actually,I suppose it's enjoyable enough.**

The PREMISE of this game is enough to give you the shivers: you're woken up from an alleged execution and dropped into a live snuff film/game/play, with you on one side and several gangs - each with different call-signs, mannerisms and personalities - on the other side, hell-bent on bringing you down. It may SEEM that cliched, but the difference is in the presentation:

This is one sick puppy. As the voice of The Director commands, your sole aim is to kill the people trying to find you. And not just kill, I mean **KILL**- there are 3 levels of kills you can make (quick, violent and gruesome), depending on how much time you have to execute them. And trust, me, gruesome means exactly that. Add a plethora of weapons (some unusual, most archetypal of a killer) and some (mostly) flawless camera-work, and it's quite a spectacle to see the work pay off. Just make sure you have a very strong stomach.

The villains in the game fit nicely under the "crazy, not stupid" tag- if anyone sees or hears you, they'll come running (and if they perceive the situation to be dangerous, they'll bring pals) and will stay alert for several minutes before they return to normal, if at all. You *can* hide in the shadows, but if you're seen doing so there's no point staying there.

Hand-to-hand combat is a bit of a pain to endure, which was probably made deliberate as the emphasis on your murderous journey is stealth.

All you have to help you besides the various weapons, painkillers and (on occasion) ammo are the shadows and a radar- but you can only tell where the goons are when they make noise themselves.

Unlike Rockstar North's hallmark series Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt has a linear storyline and play structure, but you can re-take any mission at any time. Your scores are rated in stars, and are scored out of style, speed and game difficulty- 5 being the best (and only available on the hardest level), and scoring at least 3 per level will net you some bonus artwork/concept artwork. Of course, that's not the ONLY thing you can unlock, but you'll have to see that for yourself.

The game music is in a class of its own- the sort of thing you'd find in 80's/90's horror movies. It's graded by what situation you're in, and seamlessly changes when you're close to the enemy.

The plot isn't labyrinthine (thankfully)- through most of the game The Director is there to help you through and make wisecracks when you screw up- helpful when you've got a trio of armed goons beating you into hell (!)

Sometimes being sneaky is not an option, so you will have to mix it with the enemy more regularly than you'd like. The game's armoury is impressive and realistic- depending on the gang you face you could take them on with anything from a piddly nail gun to an M16 assault rife. It would be cynically unfair to say that the game degenerates into a bullet-fest at points, because even in a shootout you will be hard-pressed to survive. And one point this game gleefully hammers home is that the aim, besides to kill, is to survive. And look good doing it.

There are some welcome plot twists at various points in the game, and though they don't appear to do that much to change the direction, it gives the player the proverbial light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel... and also some worrying tasters of what will be.

Altogether Manhunt is a very sick, slick, demented, polished, violent yet eminently playable game. If you're going game shopping this Christmas, KEEP THIS ONE FOR YOURSELF.
