This thread has been linked to the game 'Manhunt'.
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.

The Gruesome execution is the second 'Yellow' one I take it and the violent is the Red on.
When you go to execute, auto aim onto them so you can see the white reticule around them hold X or Square, it doesn't matter. Just keep holding it until you see the pointer change colour. That is a run down of how to do the other executions.

See when you approach the guy and the arrows in auto aim go white?
Well when you press x or square hold them down and the arrows go from white to orange (level 2) then to red then just let go to execute the kill.

There is bad language in it, but it's funny most of the time.
A softer example = "well, here I am, standing around like a pr*ck!"
Most of the obscenities come when the hunters either spot you, or a dead bodied friend of theirs. There's a lot of the comedic muttering in the background, like Vice City (Rockstar North, y'see).
It definatley lives up to its' 18 rating though!

OK!!!!!!!!
THAT'S IT
I'm gonna buy it today, you've just pushed me off the "shall i sharn't i" fence, (onto a rusty spike that went through my eyeball), no i mean into agros where it's only £30. :D
As it's an 18 game, is there much swearing in the game, as i think i'd mutter some expletives if some guy was, and i quote.....

So to get a level 2 or 3 kill, do you hold the execute button or keep tapping it?
I think this game has massive replay potential. I restart the game from the beginning each time I play it. It's just too damn sweet. My personal fav. execution is the Crowbar No.3 the one where he stabs it into their spine then when they're on they're knees he rams it into the top of their head.
You can also get their heads off using the Wire execution No.3. He pulls it off and then you pick it up to distract enemies with.
A nice tip for those who don't know. If you have a brick or bottle and are in a tight squeeze with 2 people following you, turn real quick and auto aim with the brick and thro it in the Hunters face which gives you just enough time to get ahead of them.

As the game goes on I think it gets better and better.
But it gets hard at times too. But once you get some proper guns it is like playing a different game, not so much sneak and kill as clever gun fights.
Very cool
