MANHUNT Final Cut
The reality show / snuff movie feel of this 18 restricted game is not only creepy and eerie, but a touch disturbing as well. You're pulled from an execution and sent into the city where gangs of thugs await you, intent on not letting you leave with your life intact. You have to show equal courtesy. Using the shadows and sneaking with stealth will ensure a longer life. To start off with, your only weapon is a plastic bag with which to suffocate your enemies. You also need to hide the bodies in alleys or dark doorways to avoid alerting the others to your handiwork. Down the line you get shards of glass and more lethal weapons, but you have to keep it quiet or it's curtains on your bloody little performance. These bastards sound the alarm at the sight of you and a brawl can also result if you don't hit them fast and from behind. Throughout, your puppet master communicates by keeping an eye on you via cameras hooked up around the decaying city. A dark, tense mood, enhanced even more so if played at night with the lights out. Cold blooded and riveting, for mature players only.
