The Bottom Line:

"Worth playing"

we dig the concept. very dark, pretty original.

the gta series borrows a lot from mob and gang movies, manhunt borrows a little more from horror and survivor films. very "the running man"... the game is entirely comprised of lurking in the dark as you creep up on your prey.

...and... not too much else matters.

the game is fun for a while. the colorful characters, music, and scenery carry most of the game.

once you've seen each of the violent animations once... you'll probably grow bored with it all.

we don't know though... there's something charming about the game though.

the story is alright. not great, but alright.

think it's just the characters. there are gangs roaming around and they have pretty neat gimmicks... they could easily have come from one of gta's darker neighborhoods.

gameplay is pretty shallow.

run... hide... lure... stab...

the guns in the game kinda suck. the shoot outs are like gta shoot outs. not very accurate... run and gun.

it's a long game... which kinda hurts it actually. if the game were about half as long it'd probably be an improvement. too much of a good thing maybe. not much to this game, but it does a solid job of what there is.

eh... it'd probably make for a better gta minigame, the whole stalk/kill thing.

for what it's worth, we liked it. still leaving this game's classification "worth playing", because it really is. it's been banned in a few countries and is considered one of the most controversial games of all time... it's worth playing if only to appreciate it's cultural significance and know what others are talking about first hand when they reference the game.
