Well, This has to be one of the most controversial games... ever. A game so horrible, violent and Murder-Based.... It has even been banned in certain countries and states. I'll now explain why. Manhunt, is a game that is largely based on stealth, I actually found it very enjoyable, but slightly worrying. You play the roll of James Earl Cash, a convicted murderer, that is sentenced to death, but there's a twist, he is injected with a sleeping drug, Nothing that would actually kill him, He wakes up, with no memory of what has happened, he is then told by a mysterious ''Director'' to pick up a headpiece, so he can tell him what to do to ''survive'', he's then let into number of dark & chilling environments.. and in those, are many people trying to kill you. These are called hunters, and as you progress through the game, the hunters get even more Frightening... from simple thugs to spine chilling.. ''smilies'' who relish every kill. Each time you go through a level, you must kill the majority of it's hunters. With a wide range of horrible weapons, there is three kills for each, a mild, a medium, and a Literally disgusting kill. You must stealthily approach an enemy.. from behind.. or out of darkness, and then hold the square or circle button for certain amounts of time. The longer you hold the worst the kill is, when you target an enemy, the target goes from white, to green, to red... A red kill can literally be stomach churning, with the amount of detail, and blood, they graphics also fit the game perfectly, with an improved engine from the GTA game's. To prove this, as I earlier said, This game has been banned in many places, a murder has even been linked to this game. Even though this would majorly put you off, the actual game is OK, although, Rockstar could of tried to reduce the blood and gore level, if that'd been done, and the graphics slightly improved, this game would be great.
Rockstar North are no stranger to controversy. The developers of Grand Theft Auto appear to shrug off the concerns of those who actively pursue them in the courts (hello Jack Thompson) - to deliver the most brutal, and i... Read Full Review
If you thought GTA: Vice City was violent, immoral and oh so wrong, then you will hate Manhunt. In fact, the whole concept of the game is so scandalous that it even inspired legislation for videogame violence here in Can... Read Full Review
