manhunt review

Manhunt
The bloodiest, most gruesome game you'll play all year.

The game is rated 8.5 out of 10.

The game is also 'M' rated. The 'M' rating stands for mature( content suitable for people aged 18 and over).

It's M rated because of its graphic like the death by crowbar to the face, wire chokes and machete hackings. But also because it reaches into the wasteland of human life and returns with a quivering piece of rotting meat and makes you taste it. You may have seen this kind of thing in movies, anime or the like, but no videogames to date have gone as far as Rockstar's Manhunt.

Manhunt is going to cause a stir, without a doubt. The game's extremely violent nature shouldn't be seen by young kids. Which is why it's rated M, for mature. Manhunt is a violent videogame, but the only thing that's new about this violence is in the way it's presented. When it comes down to it, 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 a hardcore, challenging game this fall. The level of difficulty evolves gradually from basic stealth fundamentals to tactical guerrilla warfare with melee weapons and a variety of guns with nary a hitch in continuity.

Aside from the harsh death scenes, the thing that makes Manhunt stand out as unique is its sound. The audio features here are incredible, from the USB headset addition to the brilliant responsiveness of the AI, to the unmatched level of hilarious and creative voice-overs and the disturbing sonic sounds of the musical score. is a highly polished strategy game of hide-and-seek, kill-or-be-killed gameplay. It's narrow in focus, but deep in its specialty. There is not much of a story nor are the levels terribly varied, but without a doubt, Manhunt is (with the exception of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty) nearly unsurpassed in its unique brand of stealth and tactical combat.
