Game Overview

MANHUNT carries on the tradition of fantastic gaming, superb production values, and sardonic sense of humor in a storyline that explores the deep dark recesses of human depravity in a vicious, hellish tale of urban horror.

The Bottom Line

A violent action game from Rockstar, Manhunt is the story of James Earl Cash, a man previously thought dead who wakes up in a town filled with deadly gangs. Guided only by the whispers of a man named "The Director" through his earpiece, Cash must find whatever he can to survive the night. Players must make strategic choices as to which weapons to use, ranging from silent and stealthy to loud and destructive. Everyday items may be the key to your survival, as plastic bags become instruments of strangulation, and shards of glass your defensive weapons. Escape the nightmare that is Carcer City and maybe you'll learn the identity of the mysterious "Director".

The controls are responsive and worked well, both for the sneaking around aspect and the heads up melee fighting if you happen to get spotted.

The grisly cutscenes are just icing on the cake of a superbly honed stealth and tactical action game. Manhunt is a solid, deep experience for seasoned gamers pining for some hardcore, challenging games this fall.

Manhunt is actually not a gay dating service.

Geez, Rockstar! What are you going to do next? Something better I hope.

I would get it if you can handle extreme violence. It is a major insight into evil.
