It's exactly what should be expected and the grainy CCTV camera look to the game really makes you want to wash your hands after playing. The audio is top notch, since Cash? Players can plug in an USB headset and hear Starkweather's instructions. But be careful, because the game is noise sensitive, and any noise you make into the headset's mouthpiece will directly translate into the game as if Cash is talking aloud.
Otherwise, the subtle sounds of a man trying to be as sneaky as possible as he uses a hammer to crack some poor fool's head right open is just enough to make you wish you had used a plastic bag to suffocate him when his buddies come a running. This game is just wrong on so many moral levels, but will be a popular title due to Rockstar constantly trying to one-up themselves in the offensive game category.
I liked the game sometimes and other times I despised it. Then again, maybe that is what they were shooting for. I like to think I'm a well-versed gamer when it comes to games with mature content. I've braved the scares of Resident Evil and Silent Hill , became one with my inner criminal in Grand Theft Auto , covered my ears during The Suffering's , fouled mouth interludes, and waded through the crudeness of Postal 2.
So when I started up Manhunt , I didn't think it could shock me much ' but how wrong I was. While Manhunt doesn't elevate much in terms of actual gameplay, it's certainly raised the bar in other violent and bloody ways.
Manhunt has the phrase survival horror tacked on the side of the box, but that's not really an accurate description because it's a stealth game through and through. It has some staples of survival horror game like a tense atmosphere and that whole survival mentality feeling, but the core gameplay mechanics are standard stealth affair.
Like most titles from Rockstar Games, Manhunt wasn't made for the kids. In a few years, I imagine Manhunt will be the US Government's poster boy against video game violence it always takes them a few years to catch on since it's seemingly realistic in its brutality.
However, morals aside, I can't help but feel that Manhunt is violent just to be violent. On the outset, suffocating an enemy with a plastic bag may sound cool, but when you have to use garden-variety items to finish off your enemies, it's easy to realize that it's all done for shock value. However, when the initial shock value has worn off, boredom will inevitably set in. Unlike stealth classics like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell , the action in Manhunt is never mixed up: often the objective for each level is to just get from point A to point B while continually raising the body count.
Granted, that's how it works for a lot of games, but it rarely deviates from finding a shadow, luring in an enemy, and executing said enemy. Combat just doesn't feel right either: it's clunky and altogether random, relying on hopeless button-mashing to decide the outcomes in fights. But the one thing that really tightens up the package in Manhunt is the atmosphere.
There's a filter over the entire game that gives it a dark and gritty look, much like that of a home made video ' quite a cool effect, especially considering the theme of the game. Likewise, the audio does a great job of drawing you in as well. The music is appropriately ambient and the voice acting is fantastic, especially that of Starkweather, the guy running the show. Ultimately, there will be people out there who will love Manhunt because of the dark and disturbing imagery, and there will be people out there who hate it for the exact same reasons.
It's really up to you ' the person behind the controller ' to decide whether the violent content makes or breaks Manhunt since the core gameplay mechanics of Manhunt aren't all that compelling. Rockstar Games has released a number of mature titles to enormous success, as it's obvious they understand their target audience. Manhunt continues that trend with a dark story revolving around a convicted criminal sentenced to death.
After his punishment however, he finds himself not only alive but at the mercy of a rather unique file director. Manhunt revolves around your ability to kill before getting killed. As different 'scenes'? Plastic bags, shards of glass, and numerous guns can all be used to help keep you alive. So as long as you guys follow the instructions in the. RAR file, you should be fine : Thanks again, Silver.

Solution one of many, but the only one that worked for me : Make a new folder on your hard drive, copy the contents of ALL 3 DISCS to the new folder, then run setup file from there.
The upgraded graphics make this violence much more visceral and gruesome, making the entire experience feel unsettling at points. If you're a fan of stealth games like Splinter Cell or Hitman, you'll likely enjoy Manhunt 2.
As long as you have a strong stomach for violent content and appreciate darker storytelling, there's a lot to enjoy. When compared to the first Manhunt, Manhunt 2 might not be as memorable, but it's better in many ways. The story is interesting, the stealth is more fleshed out, and there are plenty of unique executions.
