Manhunt Critic Reviews

A subversive parody that cleverly indicts our depraved culture? If it makes you feel better about having a shitload of sadistic fun, sure.

You would be hard-pressed to find a more intense experience in any entertainment medium.

Violent or not, Manhunt contains substance that other games can only wish for, and does so while pulling off some excellent and original play mechanics, executed to near-perfection.

An engrossing thrill ride.

This game is one of the most dark and disturbing games I have ever played and I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or not...Underneath it all I found the game one part infectious and one part repetitious. I enjoyed skulking in the shadows for the first half of the game, but after that it wore thin.

With all of the variety and unlockable content, you'd be hard-pressed to find a game more gut-wrenchingly intense and disturbing as this one. That being said, it makes for one hell of a good time.

Just plain fun. I haven't been this addicted to a game in some time, and I'm looking forward to wrapping up this review so I can get back to playing it.

A dirty, grisly, filthy but brilliant game experience.

Extremely violent and even a bit disturbing, but it is also one of the finest games to grace the Playstation 2 in some time.

If you enjoy slow, strategic, stealth gameplay, if you hacked your way through "Tenchu" and wanted more blood and violence then look no further. You won’t find a more stylish or disturbing game than this.

The sound quality of Manhunt is surreal, simply because the game seems like a living, breathing entity by itself.

Forget it if pure action is your bag, but fans of MGS-style thievery owe it to themselves to check this one out. Just keep a couple of puke bags handy if you're a little emotionally sensitive.

A fun game that’s utterly and completely bone-chilling in some parts. If you’re old enough, this is one hunt worth going on.

The grisly cutscenes are just icing on the cake of a superbly honed stealth and tactical action game. Manhunt is a solid, deep experience for seasoned gamers pining for some hardcore, challenging games this fall.

An amazing stress reliever as well – there’s nothing like beating the crap out of someone with a bat who only has their hands to defend themselves.

Seriously intense, and anyone with a stomach for the game's concept ought to find it fiendishly entertaining.

An extremely violent game, but its strength comes from the strong mix of atmosphere, stealth and gameplay.

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.

I just didn't quite get into Manhunt the way I wanted to because of the wierd control setup. This game just doesn't do justice with a GTA-style control system. It's not the same game.

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.
