The Bottom Line:

"Check your bargain bin"

You wait in the darkness as some unsuspecting hunter passes by. you can hear your heartbeat pounding through the speakers(or headphones) you creep up behind the guy with a chainsaw and wait till the 3 triangles around his helpless head turns red. then you pounce. You shove a working chainsaw down through his cranium and all thats left is the rest of his body. thats manhunt.

Manhunt is a good game, and has a good formula. Wait in the darkness, make sure a guy doesnt see you, and do a deadly move on him. But thats what you do THE WHOLE GAME. It really doesnt change that formula much until the gun sequences, which i thought were just kinda mediocre. The graphics are real crappy now even on everything maxed out, but then you have to consider that it came out in 2004. The punishing difficulty is another problem that plagues this game. There are some levels where you are just seeing the SCENE FAILED screen over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over. well you get the point. If the game had some freakin devolpment at all then it would be nice. its just a subpar ultraviolent stealth game that reminded me of PoP: Warrior Within, because both games are probably the hardest i have ever played, except i acutally finished this one.

Overall, Manhunt just comes out being an ok game that has some good production values, but if i were you, i would play a different game. Manhunt just isnt that good anymore and cant live up to standards because it stays the same throughout the whole game.
