Manhunt arrived earlier on today so uni work was put to one side to see just how good it was.

First impressions are good, its all dark and eerie and the overall atmosphere is cool.
If you have a headset (from socom etc) then plug it in before you start. You can make noises to attract the hunters and listen to your commands through it.

Looking through the manual there is a whole range of weapons and I think a lot of the story has been kept very secret from the press.

Had to stop to get uni work out the way but I'll play more and review it soon.

Put a quick review up.

As for the kills well....

First one you make you put a plastic bag over the guys head, sick but it looks nice in the game.

Next you use a shard of glass to cut the guys throat.

If they see you though they chase you and it turns into a hand to hand fight so you can stab them with the glass etc as they try to beat you. Isn't fun though when there are a few of them after you at once as they beat you down pretty quick.


But the manual has all the weapons in it and they look fun to roam around with.
You can get

wire
Glass shard
Plastic bag
Metal Bat
Wooden Bat
Night Stick
Knife
Sickle
Meat cleaver
hand axe
Machete
Hammer
Chainsaw
revolver
Avenger force .50 AE
GS model 23
Pump action shotgun
sawn off shotgun
Submachine gun
sniper rifle
M16
tranquilizer rifle
nail gun

hmmm i think this game is alright/great...
some minor niggles that annoy me....i wish you could swivel the camera around cash when stationary...instead of going into first person mode.
ai is slightly predictable i think...and i don't like the aiming/gunplay (but then i didn't like it in gta series either though the sensitivity for aiming the guns is far better in this game).
i've got to about lvl 5...i'll see what i think of it after having played it more
