About the Game
Manhunt casts you as James Earl Cash, a prisoner on death row. You are led down a corridor where you are about to receive a lethal injection. A mysterious voice tells you to stick in the nearby earpiece, and explains that the "lethal" injection was just a heavy sedative. The man, later identified as Starkweather, turns out to be a director of snuff movies, where the people are really killed.
Story & Setting
This begins James Earl Cash's journey.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Gang members carry weapons ranging from pistols and shotguns to knives and glass shards. Manhunt is primarily a stealth game. You have a variety of weapons at your disposal, from the traditional, such as the shotgun and uzi, to the disgusting, such as a sickle and plastic bag. Each weapon has three different ways of attacking, depending on how long you hold the button. A quick attack will do the job, a medium attack will be bloody, but a high attack, requiring the longest amount of time, will earn you the most points, and will allow you to see your kill in a cinematic style, with blood splatting on the camera, and gurgling noises.
Standout Features
- You can also throw glass bottles to create a distraction, or you can punch surfaces and yell to get gangs to come to you.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Display support includes Widescreen (16 x 9). Audio support includes Dolby Pro Logic II.
