its just a game. Its nowhere near as good as people say. Its
cool, but it relies on gore to carry the entire game. Fun
for a while. Its pretty damn easy too, im playing it on
hardest setting and im on the second to last level in less
than 5 days.

I don't think it 'relies' on the gore, The whole tenchu feel
to the game really makes me love it. Most people say it's
shit because of the reasons you've stated, which in all
fairness are valid for most games like this... But the
gritty feel and the AI really sets them apart! (I also don't
know why people compare it so closely to GTA3....?)

I love playing the hunters, fucking them up with my mind
games.

I'll keep playing this after I complete it.

im not saying its shit, i like it, i just think its a bit
too samey. You have to do the same thing for EVERY level,
just on occasion with a different weapon. Although nothing
beats taking a policemans head off with a hatchet then
beating his partner to death with his baton

good.... :)

Games are becoming too simple tho. You're right in that
respect. Games are being made like music is now. All about
the money.

Get the eye candy, realism and primise in and it will sell.
The Girls Aloud of Games if you will

Manhunt tho, has a different feel IMO.
I don't buy many games... the ones I get are keepers.

manhunt is a limited release, it may only be available as an
import..

rephlexions is another matter.. it's supposed to be out here
by now as we all know, i think they might be deciding right
now whether to delay it till 2004 or not. i sure hope not, i
already ordered it a month ago!

it's not that great, actually.. it really is too 'samey' as
someone put it earlier in this thread. it's incredibly dark
and it's shockingly violent. moreso than any game relased so
far (ie heads don't just come off, they give gradually as
your player hacks through the windpipe and the rest of the
neck) but that can't carry an entire game. it is a rockstar
north game and it has all the great, hilarious dialouge,
quips of the characters in the game. I wouldn't say it's
worth buying, esp. if you've played metal gear 2 or any of
the tenchu games. pushing the 'gruesome' envelope is a great
thing in terms of realism and free speech among other
things, but for stealth-based games an increase in the blood
and the increased importance of sound inthis game would
really help push this particular genre. it has a few good
things to offer, but I don't think it's good enough to buy
unless you've tried it out and you're really into it. having
the rephlex remixes in the actual game might've helped and
might've actually made more sense than to have it be
released as a standalone promo album.

as i've said before, games relying on shock factor should be
phased out because they're not innovative or entertaining.
its one thing for a game to be violent and fun, its another
for it to be over the top violent and gimmicky, which, after
playing this, is what i've found it to be. much like GTA:
vice city, which gets boring after half an hour.

people to complain about voilence in videogames.

well, i'm exaggerating quite a bit with half an hour. but
real gameplay is sparse in that game, in terms of variety.
it was fun for about two weeks and then it got old real
fast.

my biggest problem with these games is that they spawn
dozens of shitty imitators that flood the market and
completely roll over the great games coming out.

yea.... I think you're right there.
it's a shame.

I enjoy Manhunt. I love showing it to people.

We need more games like Animal Crossing here in the UK but
the publishers don't see that.

ofcourse if you think GTA is boring after half hour youd say
that, man I love GTA.... hearing someone say that makes me
want to get it more.

even if it is an import the records store will be able to
get it

the relase date was months ago for the other 2 relases, but
they are pusher back in the states for some reason :(

Man... They should've made Manhunt iLink compatable. It'd be
such a great Hide N Seek Deathmatch video game!!!

making it so you can't see them at all when they're in
shadow would be so cool!

Great game, I just bought it an hour and a half ago, and I'm
enjoying it. It's a bit simple and derivative, but I love
the atmosphere. It's a bit of a marketing ploy, the whole
''sickest shit ever'' spin, but it's pulled off WELL and
it's intense. I wish the controls were less Syphon Filter
and more Splinter Cell, though.

Do you got a link? I'm interested.

I loved this game. It's exploitative, but it has the balls
and chutzpah to back it up. Powerful, challenging shit.

Thanks. If it wasn't Manhunt that set this sick little fuck
off, it would have been something else. For anybody that was
around before Pong, tell me about the peaceful Utopia you
guys had.

I actually saw a mother buy a copy of Manhunt for her son a
few months ago, he couldn't have been more than 13. It
states on the box that the game is absurdly violent and not
meant for anyone under 18. Maybe the mother should have, you
know, been a bit more responsible.

And games shouldn't be rated based on age. 13 or 18, insane
is insane. Too bad there's not a sanity rating.
