    Perhaps one of the best stealth games in the entire genre, implementing some of the most interesting aspects of the complex games such as splinter cell, while allowing us more freedom of choice, or perhaps a total lack there of. The great thing about this game is that we don't have to put up with slapstick character releationships, or those darn annoying female/male love intrests.

    Awesome gameplay, an amazing storyline, and real time graphics make this a superb must buy for any gamer with a shred of sadisitic sense. We're looking at a game that stands out with GTA3 and Metal Gear Solid, yet still adds its own inovation to a needy consumer world. Rockstar has done it again, anyone that owns a PS2 deserves a peek, even if you only rent it. Bravo Manhunt. Bravo.

    This game is grand. It is amazing how much atmosphere was put into this game and the grainy video tape feeling to make you feel scared when you start playing for the first time.

This game wouldnt even have needed all of the violence to be scary, but , Im being honest here, anybody who plays through the first part of it and doesn't quit must say they get enjoyment from seeing the worst kill each item does. Its fun to see in a sick sort of way. Some of the parts amaze me how violent they are. For anyone who has gotten to that part ill say one word-- Wire. But, really if violence is not in this game it would be boring and unimportant. But , if there is only one thing thats important about this game it is, Rockstar is obviously trying to see how far over the line they can go without getting caught. Actually this is so violent that everyone taht complained about Grand theft Auto before, will have completely forgotten about it, and put manhunt on the top of their complaining list.… Expand

It throws the varying degrees of hidden in the shadows that you found in Splinter Cell. Where somehow you could find your self only Half hidden even though your unbelivibly well hidden in the shadow cast by a lamp post. Also the game dosent suffer from an annoying love interest such as Meryl, an annoying teenage daughter who seems to readily accept being held in some room with no windows in the CIA or other newly created Acronym from the world of tomorrow in Clancy land. The game has simple controls, simple plot that involves no incestous releationships or constant and predicitable plot twist. The games is a Black comedy and appeals our sadistic side with a charcter with abosolutely no redeeming what so ever, aside form his dashing looks and charming perosnality most people don't realize because of plastic bag on their head. Its simple is enertaining and offers what many games don't, Violence, evisceration and gobs of foul language.… Expand

    This is the most intense game you will ever play. It's a brilliant concept that actually makes you feel as if you're being hunted in a snuff movie, like nothing I've ever played. Not for Kids, but for anyone over 18 it is well worth buying, becoause if you rent it you'll just scratch the surface - it's not easy.

    This has to be the best game so far. The story is superb, the graphics arent the best, but to tell you the truth, they fit in perfectly. controls are easy and the ending...well you can find out for yourself. A definite buy, but also one for the adults.

    It is incredibly easy to screw up and get killed in this game, which sometimes forces you to repeat lengthy and difficult sections of each level. Thankfully, there are mid-stage save points that allow you to restart there instead of at the beginning of the level.

    The controls are responsive and worked well, both for the sneaking around aspect and the heads up melee fighting if you happen to get spotted.
