****Steam Manhunt £1.49****

[Edward01]

Probably bored of all these threads by now but first time this game has come up on its own I think.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/12130/


Was going to pick it up just to see what all the controversy was about but 'Doesn't support Windows 7' so I wont bother.

There is a patch for W7 apparently: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1127740

I've bought it, I've always fancied trying this.

edit - I'm too slow

Erm, can you actually apply it to the steam version?

Bought Not a bad days work, Dirt 2, MP 1 & 2 and Manhunt for just over 10 pounds

Erm, can you actually apply it to the steam version?

Yes according to the first link.

Yep, it works fine, same as the Midnight Club 2 patch which is based on this patch.

So much for steams blanket statement that it doesn't support win 7

Im holding out for the Classic pack to go on sale.

CANT BELIEVE THEY OFFERED MANHUNT BETWEEN 4AM AND 6AM.

Just want the Classic pack and Manhunt to go on sale again.

I held off from purchasing VC and GTA3 for this reason.

All I need now is for Manhunt to go on offer at a semi reasonable time and ill be as happy as a pig in soup.

My dreams came true - lol

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 porksoda put it well. I really enjoyed man hunt and not because of the gore aspect.

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.
