(***you will likely need workarounds to make this game work)
One of my best childhood memories! Played this game to 100% completion (5 stars in all maps) and was entertained the entire time :D
Give us a new manhunt please!!!
Or remake Manhunt 1 without comprimising on the gore and the stealthy/dark atmosphere.

Review:
The game is old (PS2) but still to this day you will have a hard time finding a game as authentic as this, when it comes to bodily harm, difficulty of enemies when not 1v1 and sound effects.
So, the graphics are outdated to todays standards but the sound effects are still amazing and the gameplay is oldschool sneaker, which never gets old^^


Too bad Rockstar north lost it's balls and started making pg-13 gta games. The authenticity went waaay down after vice city. Catering more to children to make more sales I guess. Too bad for me :_(

I found this;
"It may sound surprising, but there was almost a mutiny at the company over [Manhunt]. It was Rockstar North's pet project — most of us at Rockstar Games wanted no part of it," Williams said. "We'd already weathered plenty of controversy over GTA 3 and Vice City — we were no strangers to it — but Manhunt felt different."

Williams says that Manhunt "made us all feel icky. It was all about the violence, and it was realistic violence. We all knew there was no way we could explain away that game. There was no way to rationalize it. We were crossing a line."

THIS IS WHAT MADE MANHUNT SO GREAT!!! what is the point of UNREALISTIC (minimal) violence? If u make a game filled with violence, then for the love of God, make it realistic instead of pg-13 :/
