It all seams abit quiet about Manhunt!!!

The people who made Vice City, one of the best games ever, are about to release there new game on wednesday, (unless it's slipped) and there's no reviews, no hype, no nothing????

I thought this would be high on people's most wanted list.

It got 8.5/10 on IGN, however I dont trust many of their reviews. Still I will probably pick it up at the end of the week!

Online would have been awesome. You could either decide to be in the team of hunters trying to kill the guy playing Cash, or you could be Cash and the one who's being hunted and have to avoid getting killed.

Don't reallt trust magazines which concentrate on just one console. OXM amongst other Xbox games give loads of positive scores and the odd negative score and then give it a decent overall score when the game is pretty crap on the whole. I will wait for Edge and Gamespot to cast their votes.

Actually here's the 'PSI2 verdict'

FOR:

-Cash moves well, making stealth kills easy
-Dark, atmospheric and a bit 'wet-pants' scary
-Nasty cut-scene kills that shock
-Level designs vary enough to hold interest
-AI is spot on

AGAINST:

-Might be a little too linear for some.


Personally I think a multi-player 'hunt' would have made the game a whole lot better too.

PSI2 have given it 8/10. It looks good and I will get it some time, but Need for Speed Underground is out this week too, so I think I'll get that first.

My tip is buy it at Game. That way if it's rubbish you can trade it back no questions asked and get your money back.
Or if it's good trade it back get your refund and then buy/order it from somewhere cheaper.

Chances are, this game could be banned if it's a violent as it claims.

To be honest, I'm not too fussed if it gets bad reviews. I've been anticipating this for some time now and will get it at release. If it turns out to be crap, that's my money wasted, no worries, I'll just trade it for something else or get a refund if I can.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
