Amazon.co.uk Review
Manhunt is perhaps the most violent, amoral video game ever made, and it's entirely unapologetic about it. Produced by the same team that created Grand Theft Auto, it sees you cast as a death-row inmate reprieved from the chair to take part in a sick game run by a snuff-movie producer. You're forced to sneak around a series of maze-like levels killing "hunters" and SWAT-team members as you go, using such unsavoury methods as suffocating them with plastic bags and cutting their throats with shards of glass. The game is primarily a stealth-based title, using many of the same techniques as Metal Gear Solid--you shuffle around walls, peer round corners and use noise to attract and distract the enemy. This aspect of the game works extremely well thanks to the superb graphics and sound, which create an intense level of tension, so that when you mistakenly knock into an abandoned shopping trolley and alert a hunter, it's really quite terrifying. The combat, just like in GTA, is handled rather less well--but it's not anywhere bad enough to ruin the whole game. Indeed, in gameplay terms the only real fault with Manhunt is a lack of variety, with the game seemingly running out of new ideas well before the end. The true problem then is whether it's simply too depraved--but that's a decision you must make for yourself. It's definitely not for under-18s, though. --David Jenkins

If you say manhunt is the most violent and digusting game in the british gaming market! well...your right.
Its a fact that no other game has caused as much debate of removing of the game from store shelves but I wouldn't say its as bad as some of the other violent games. For example "State of emergency" had the same level of violence but had a very arcade feel to it...a bit cartoony so its making all of this violence funny. But manhunt dousn't! The levels are all dark and soaked in grime with an atmospheric soundtrack (especially on surround sound)to make you feel the awful disgusting nature of the violence at hand, rathur then making it fun.
It is also true that the game was removed from shelves for reasons I won't go into out of respect for the people involved but when the reason it was removed was disproved it came back onto the shelves.
As for the game play it is repetitive but it dousn't spoil the fun of it at all. once you have completed the game it takes effect though but you can still play one or two levels at a time later and still enjoy it.
the weapons in the game are all nasty things such as plastic bags, glass shards, rounders and basball bats, knives, wire and even sickles! There are also guns but there is a skill to surviving a gunfight in this game, if you can hide and take out your enemy that way I would strongly recomend it untill you get lots of firearms experience. but one downfall is that towards the end of the game you start to not get hand-to-hand weapons but only guns and it takes the point out of the stealth aspect of the game.
overall it's a good enjoyable game but once you have completed it you don't have as much fun with it as you did when you played it for the first time.

This is the only game that I have brought that I have taken back and traded in for another game because I thought that the game was damaging psychologically, and I am a pretty moral guy.
However, I think that if i played this game for too long, and i was under a lot of stress, I could start using some of the ideas in the game in real life.
I cant imagine what it does to idiots who aren't moral and who already have a desire to hurt innocent people.
No wonder violent crime has escalated in the UK.
In the past I have always laughed at people who have criticized violent games as damaging society.
Especially as I was married to a Jehovah Witness for a while, and JW's are big on slagging computer games.
I laughed as I always reasoned with them that playing a batman game has never made me want to go out dressed as batman to fight crime and if someone did, i would question their mental health stability.
However, this game puts ideas in even the meekest minds, and is so dark in its intentions that I really think it shouldn't be on the market.
I really do think its one of the many reasons why the UK is rapidly escalating down the toilet.
People make the place. And if all the people that live in the UK start turning to violence to get their kicks, then would you like to live there?
This game bites! October 10, 2007

I ignored this game for years thinking it was just going to be an average game exploiting bad publicity until a fellow gamer started talking about it.
I was very wrong, this game is quality, from its original concept, tense story and gameplay, great audio. One of my favourite PS2 games ever..
Its goes without saying this game is explicitly violent, it is intended for adults that perhaps have a taste for films like 8mm, Hostel and Saw. PARENTS THAT STILL THINK GAMES ARE FOR KIDS AND ITS OKAY FOR THEM TO PLAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THINK AGAIN.
Special mention must go to the character Starkweather, a voice the character will hear throughout the game, this must be the best voice acting I have ever heard in a videogame, totaly convincing.
This is what happens when videogames grow up, a great game but get ready with the pause button because this game is sick!
