Editorial Review:
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 ... Read More:

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. ... Read More:

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. ... Read More:

You play James Earl Cash. You're a convict and sentenced to death. But instead of an lethal injection you received some kind of narcotic. However, you wake up in a dirty hall and a voice tells you that you have to play the main role in a snuff movie.
Your task: Do whatever you're told - survive - find a way out of the trap you're in.
Many people (even the text on the back of the DVD case) say that your maintask is to "stay alive". That's simply not true in any way. Most of the time in the game it goes like this "Kill all enemies in this area. When you're finished the gate to the next area will be opened." The first half of the game consist out of that - nothing more. You get a few minor tasks in these missions, like for example saving people ... Read More:
