I played this on a friend's system, and it's a VERY grim game....in fact,
I was witness to a girl who returned the game to the store behind her boyfriend's back the other day at our local Gamestop, saying it was the 'sickest piece of garbage' she had ever seen, and that if he didn't like her returning it, he could take a hike.
One of the things you get to do is smother your opponents with a plastic bag, and the longer you execute the movie, the more graphic the onscreen scene becomes. Think of Hitman or Hitman 2 with a bit of Thief and you have a general idea. This game is sick, and I for one LOVE it. I think you'll like it.

this game is ok. its hard though
Yeah all games are hard if you play them right. I'm playing Call Of Duty right now and that's a hella hard game, but fun. Some degree of satisfaction comes from beating a hard game. And I have too many games to play...all that trade in credit at EB a few weeks ago.....
saying you dont like a game because it is hard is blasphemy in the gamer world. I hate people who play games on the easiest setting. Im not saying you were implying that SLIP. But my friend plays this game with having never playing it before using the strat guide, and codes right away. WHY EVEN PLAY video games. MAnhunt is a decent game though. There isnt really much of a story and the game play is tired. It was made for shock value and to ride the edge. For that fact this game is worth playing. I mean the first stage you had to stragle someone with a bag to get out of prison. Thats a game situation you dont see every day
Honestly, in all due respect to the developers involved... this game could only hold the attention span of a thumbtack. You do the same 4 kills through all the monotonous levels in the game. I love the useage of shadows though. Just more kills and more options during the kill instead of cinematics wouldve sufficed.... give it a rental but dont buy it.
I'm all for dark satirical humour, but Manhunt was incredibly dark.
In fact, it's darker and more morbid than Batman covered in hot tar, cutting his own legs off with a rusty Bat-knife.
Very depressing game. IMO Silent Hill and Resident Evil have nothing on this. However its not as good as said games in terms of enjoyment or gameplay.
