Ah what the heck, I can wait for Project Gotham 2 for a few more weeks! Just ordered Manhunt after reading through quite a few reviews. Gamespot gave it a highly respectable 8.4 whilst the completely over rated IGN gave it 8.5! Read a few more reviews from rather unkown sites but they were all around the 8-9/10 region saying it was very close to the Hitman games with splashes of Max Payne and Splinter Cell creeping in. I have backed this game since it was announced to be something decent and by all accounts its definitley one hell of a game.
A lot have mistaken this for just an out and out Rockstar game with no thought required to succeed. They couldn't be any further wrong however. The stealth system sounds brilliant and the game in fact discourages you from going head on into a fist fight due to the difficulty and the amount of personnel who will appear to back up their allies. There are a wide variety of weapons to choose from and each of the close combat weapons comes with 3 stealth kills depending on how long you choose to wait for the kill. By all accounts its much easier to grab a stealth kill in Manhunt than it was in Hitman 2 or other similar games. ou simply hold down the X button for however long and it will reward you with a cinematic and supposedly completely sick fatality.
A few complaints about some of the shooting sections were saying how difficult they are due to the enemies taking cover and flanking you where ever possible. This and the fact that in the later sections of the game you basically go up against a series of fire fights which some will supposedly grow tired of. From a visual and audio point of view its apparently one of the best games on the PS2 yet dispite the awful screenshots Gamespot have said the game holds its own when seen up and running.
Overall it sounds like a top notch game and when I receive it in the next few days I will comment on how well it plays and how similar it is to the Hitman games.
I just hope it doesn't disappoint!

Yes but they just see my name and think "oh he has started another argument" like fools. I started this thread with the intention to talk about what seems like a top quality PS2 game. You moan when I argue yet when I give you babies a dummy to suck on you just spit it out and join the idiotic bandwagon which seems to do daily trips around here.
But he's right.
god replying to alistair is just like running against a brick wall -wholely pointless and stupid
?
I'm really not bothered about Manhunt.
And have no idea why not.
Doesn't it look a little repetative / linear.

I thought that True Crime was going to be top game for Christmas, but it was surrounded by too much hype, and everywhere says it is bad. So i am also getting mManhunt and it will beat all the other games coming out around christmas i think.

Bullet time puts everything apart from your character into slow motion.
Could say they are the same or that they are different, Just depends what you class as slow motion I guess.
As for Manhunt, it looks quite impressive. Had it claimed as a GAD for a few weeks and looking forward to the release.

Must admit it does look quite good, has it been on the OPS2M cover disk at all ?
Entertaining - Anyway just ordered the game. Hope to have it for the weekend. Looking forward to it!
It's like he's arguing with himself. Where's it all going to lead?!?!
