anyone here play manhunt?

[poweredbyrice]

waht do you think of the game? and does teh mic have an impact on the gameplay?

[straycat]

I bought it. And, I regret it. I was TOTALLY hyped on this game from the get go, but after a few levels, you see all its shortcommings. In theory, it should be an ok game, but the repetitiveness of it makes it drag after a while.

Basically its sold on the super gory and violent cut scenes. But that about all it is. Its kinda looks GTA esque and has the same vice city graphics, and same clipping problems. Same controls as GTA too.

BAsically the whole game revolves around you being a serial killer, who goes to be executed. Your givin the lethal injection and wake up later not dead. Someone pulled some strings and saved your life. But puts to work for his slasher/ snuff film industry. He hires gangs to track you down, and in turn you hunt them down and kill them in super violent scenes.

Problem is the game is SO REPETITIVE. BAsically every level is the same. Hide in the shadows ala Splinter Cell (you have the darkness gauge in MANHUNT too) and wait for someone to walk by, and you kill them. And when you kill off all the gang members, the levels over. Basically EVERY TIME you hide in the shadows, knock on the wall, a guard gets spooked, and you kill him. Over and OVER and Over and OVER Over and OVER.
Man, I paid 50 bones for that game, and played it about 12 hours and hated it....

[DeadbarD]

its a piece of BS. hyped about this game ? how can you possibly be hyped by upcoming games of such a weak game company.

It's a very poor game... I played it with a friend (well, we took turns), and there's hardly anything that makes it worth buying.

For heaven's sake, it even borrows sound effects from Grand Theft Auto 3!

[fireonline]

is it that bad...cuz even GTA3 is a"a poor game" but not "very poor":P

[Alex`]

I've heard that it runs on an early GTA3 engine... it's that bad.

[straycat]

I wouldnt say that because it looks better than GTA. The areas are way better looking, allthough its all at night. The chars are all better looking too. Its a ton smoother and doesnt have the jaggies GTA does. It however does have that clipping problem when you`re too close to a wall and sometimes the wall disapears kinda thing going on.... The only problem with the game is the gameplay. Imagine GTA without the missions, and you`re on the right path.....

I have yet to hear someone saying he likes the game. I will wait until the game hit the bargain bin

[straycat]

I know. Its been out for months and its still full price. Probley wont drop until the PC and XBOX versions are out for a month or two anyway.

[special agent]

I don't have a PS2 now, so I need the PC version

Ok
My first review of this game I was only about 1/2 way through and I finally finished it yesterday. I`ll admit the game does pick up quite a bit after you hit the 60% mark. Like it`s boring enough where half way through I gave up and I didnt play it for 2 months.

The action gets really intense but then again it leaves the whole premise of the game behind and becomes basically a shooter. I like shooters, so for me it got WAY better.

But then again at that point it loses all the suspense and mood. It had a great Silent hill esque mood going for it for a while, but it`s nowhere near as weird or frightening.

But after finishing it I can admit its not TERRIBLE, but I dont really think the game deserves more than a 6.5 or 7. The second time through the game is quite a bit better because your not fumbling with the controls and have an idea of whats going on instead of wandering around in the dark for an hour looking for something.

Anyone else finish this game?

[zeronumber]

I played this game, and I thought it was complete garbage.
But then again, what do you expect from rockstar games really?

The only good game out of rockstar is midnight club.

[Marcos]

Yeah it does, but its a ton smoother than you would think.

recently ive been looking at the package of the PC version at a video game store and 1 of the critics was calling the game , the clockwork orange of video games. for those who dosent know , the clockwork orange is an Stanley kubrick hyper violent movie that makes you reflect on the pointless violence , the coruption of the society and the freedom of human beings. while manhunt only glorify murder. this critic was a complete aberation.
