Rockstar North's first game after Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is billed as an "urban horror" title that has players being hunted for the sole entertainment of a wealthy madman. Following a story line that draws similarities from such films as The Warriors, Hard Target, and The Running Man, Manhunt casts players in the role of James Earl Cash, a man unwittingly snatched from death row to participate in a twisted game of survival. As in the developer's previous two releases, players find themselves exploring a seedy, dark city from a thirdperson perspective, but that's where the similarities end. The locales, which include sewers, a prison, shopping mall, factory, junkyard, and more, are all abandoned and in various states of decay.

Gangs with such names as The Smileys, The Hoods, The Skins, and The Innocents are being paid to rub out James Earl Cash, preferably in as gruesome a manner as possible, while being filmed from a series of hidden closedcircuit cameras littered throughout each locale. In order to stay alive, Cash must carefully stay out of view and make as little sound as possible. As in titles like Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, hiding in shadows is a key element of the game, where players can avoid detection simply by kneeling behind trash cans, boxes, and other objects within the environment. Cash can also peek around corners and throw items such as bricks, glass, and more to distract enemies.

Sound also plays an important role in Manhunt. An onscreen indicator measures the decibel level of each action players make, whether it's running, walking, firing a gun, or smashing a window. If the character is too loud, gang members will quickly track him down and make life more difficult. Fortunately for players, the sound of enemies is also tracked via radar, which helps isolate threats based on their movement; once they stop making noise, however, players are on their own. Each gang employs different tactics to snuff out players: some will wait in the shadows, while others use heavy artillery. Players can fight back with handtohand moves, guns, or perform stealth kills using such items as meat cleavers, plastic bags, and hammers to slice, suffocate, and bludgeon enemies. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

    Pros: Amazing graphics, great sound, deep stealth gameplay

    Cons: Violence, and controls

    Overall manhunt is a great game. It combines action with stealth. From rockstar games comes possibly the most awesome 3rd person shooter ever.While this is an amazing game the levels can draw on, and on. Sometimes the level is impossibly hard and som...etimes you have to fight 2 or 3 guys. you never really know. despite that it still is really cool.The M rating is well deserved while it still maintains integretty. It doesnt go overboard with the blood and gore. Read more Less

    Manhunt (Xbox)

    Manhunt is an audacious game that backs up its extremely violent subject matter with solid stealth action gameplay. Read more

    Manhunt - xbox

    In a nice addition, Cash automatically aims for the head in the Xbox version if he's close enough to an enemy. Given the right weapon (a shotgun, for example), there's almost no limit to the viscera and blood Cash can coax from his enemies. Read more
