"Manhunt...."

This game rocks!

Started playing it last night and I'm really enjoying myself. Excellent little game kinda Running Man meets Splinter Cell...sort of.

Love the atmosphere and the whole violent, dark and nasty feel to the game. The enemies are excellent and in some cases very funny/scary. One excellent moment was when I was running away from a hood (gang member with a kind hood thing on suprisingly) I went to hide in the shadows, now usually they can't see you if you go in the dark areas a little like Splinter Cell, so I'm standing there thinking he won't be able to find me, he walks up slowly, looks straight at me and yells "You think I'm stupid mother f--ker, you're gonna die now" as he lunges at me with a crowbar, I cacked myself. The game really is like nothing I've played before in terms of content, nothing like having a hillbilly type person shout "White power" just before you plunge your crowbar into his shiny skull (the sound it makes get me every time *cringes*).

Really is a disturbing and original take on stealth games. If you're bored of sneaking around in the shadows of Splinter Cell and shooting someone every 10 minutes then I really recommend you give this one a go, it won't be for everyone what with the large amount of swearage and some of the most grissly violence I've seen this side of a snuff movie.

5 thumbs up from me Rockstar.

Lol, this sounds more like a tarrantino movie than a game... will get it for the over the top, laugh out loud element :)

*cue Mr. Burns voice*

Excellent.

Whoa, messy.

Me thinks either the the hardest crowbar attack which is a stab in the back which brings the enemy down to their knees, and then he plunges the length of the crowbar into the guys skull with the sickest of crunching noises.

Or there's the garot wire. He strangles the guy with it but then keeps rubbing it back and forward on the guys neck till blood spurts out then eventually the guys head rolls off. What made me laugh though was you can then pick up the head and use it for a distraction like the cans in Splinter Cell.

Oh and there's also an attack with the shard of glass which is basically a dirty great stab in the kidneys and then a couple of jabs in the eyes with much blood squirtage.

There's plenty more and DAMN some of them are sick.

Whats the worst (most sickening) attack you've done so far?

Hmmm...I am really tempted to claim this as my spare GAD.

The levels I've played so far have taken about 30-40 minutes each. They're split up into sections, you have to kill all the gang members and complete objectives in each section before you move on.

Sounds pretty good, I may have to purchase this now.


How long are the levels, Tilta? I mean, are there alot of gangs and thugs in the levels?

It sounds very interesting and original, I thought on the face of it, it was going to be just a big bloodbath, but it doesn't seem that way at all.

The set-up basically is that you're dropped into the different cities by some sicko guy who's filming a snuff video. The only way to escape is by killing the gangs that patrol the cities, the thing is though you're obviously outnumbered and the gangs are a lot better armed than you are. You have to knock them off one by one with plastic bags, glass shards and other disturbing implements, then the film maker rates you on how brutal the kills are (believe me, there's some really sick deaths). Obviously walking up to them and trying to stab them won't work as these fools will just straight out beat the hell out of you, so you have to use the shadows and confuse them then once their back is turned you can go in for the kill.

The AI's excellent, they really hunt you down, they don't just patrol certain areas they'll chase you across the whole level and then some if they need too. It's a very different game style, but it works really well.
