Gameplay:

Manhunt’s storyline is basically about Mr. Starkweather, a filmmaker who hires you to act in his snuff and sick movie. As for Gameplay, the interface and gameplay are pretty much a combination of Grand Theft Auto, Hitman, Thief and Splinter Cell and depends predominantly on stealth. The weapons variety is vast. Player can choose from clubs, maces, knives, baseball bats, shotguns any many more. As for the levels, Manhunt contains 24 levels including bonus ones. The levels are pretty much linear; finishing one will grant access to the other. The AI is decent.

Score: 8.5/10

To finish off, although Manhunt is full of gore and profanity, it delivers the goods in all aspects; a compelling story mixed with action and stealth. Moreover, manhunt utterly reproduces ambiance from famous movies such as Se7en and John Carpenter’s horror movies. Manhunt is highly recommended to horror/gore fanatics and for adults only.

Overall: 9/10
