Others don't have the patience for the sort of trial-and-error approach that most stealth-based games boil down to. Some enjoy the tension and suspense that this style of gaming is uniquely capable of providing. By now, most gamers have experienced stealth gameplay before. Manhunt is also directly comparable to Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, which, too, combines stealth and shooting, though not with such gory results as the kind you'll find here. The premise of Manhunt is actually highly reminiscent of the original Hitman: Codename 47, and, indeed, the game's combination of stealthy surprise attacks and full-bore shooting action is also similar to that game (and its superior sequel). As a result, it proceeds in predictable directions and essentially just acts as a setup for Cash so that he can be thrust from one hopeless situation into another. The rather original storyline is very intriguing at first but doesn't really take off. Cash, it seems, is Starkweather's latest leading man. You see, Starkweather makes "snuff films" and captures on video the bloody executions conducted by people like Cash. All this happens to Starkweather's great delight.
MANHUNT 2 PS2 REVIEW SERIES
From this point on, Cash is thrust into a series of levels, called "scenes" in the game, during which he is hunted by ruthless thugs and must make use of any weapon he can find to dispatch of them-or else die trying. Starkweather presents himself as Cash's savior and promises the man his freedom.after he performs a few key tasks. He puts it on, and this is how Cash meets Lionel Starkweather. He later comes to and finds himself alone in a cell with an earpiece nearby. The "lethal" injection he's administered merely knocks him out. Debates over the ethics of the death penalty aside, at the beginning of the game, James Earl Cash is presumably about to be put to death-and with good reason. There's no reason to like the main character of Manhunt. He's a death row inmate who's an even better killer than the hunters sent to do him in. James Earl Cash is the main character of Manhunt, but he's no hero. Manhunt is seriously intense, and anyone with a stomach for the game's concept ought to find it fiendishly entertaining.
Nonetheless, those wondering whether Scotland-based Rockstar North is capable of putting together something remarkable that doesn't have "Grand Theft Auto" in the title, need wonder no more. The game also does a much better job of incorporating stealth mechanics than most other such games, though the latter portion of Manhunt devolves into a nearly continuous, mind-numbing series of shoot-outs. However, these grisly scenes are done up in style, as Manhunt has a real cinematic flair to it-not to mention a suffocating atmosphere that perfectly fits the theme.
MANHUNT 2 PS2 REVIEW MOVIE
The game unflinchingly depicts intense graphic violence, the likes of which you might expect from a slasher movie but not from your PlayStation 2. The developer of Grand Theft Auto delivers its darkest, most violent game yet in Manhunt, an original third-person perspective stealth action game that puts you in the role of a death row inmate forced to run a deadly gauntlet at the whim of a sadistic cinematographer.
