****Steam Manhunt £1.49****

manhunt is an odd game...

I thought it was great, which is weird because i went into it thinking it would most likely be crap (ie: all gore/gratuitous kill scenes and nothing else).

Actually i think the game is like an 80's slasher/thriller/horror type of deal. Yes the executions are in there, and some of them were worth a laugh, but overall i just thought the game had a really good atmosphere! The background music/sfx were excellent i thought, and some of the idle dialogue of the enemies was great. I think it was the level with the smilies in the mental institution where there is a guy who just constantly talks about his shoes being missing, he must have like 20 lines of different dialogue about that lol.

I'm not trying to make out that the game is some kind of deep masterpiece, but i certainly think it was a lot better than a lot of people gave it credit for. I think the execution animations were just so graphic that it distracted people from other aspects of the game which were far more interesting.
 
I think it was the second game that reviewers didn't give quite as much praise for. The first has got to be worth this so I'll probably go for it.
