The first protagonist was rescued directly at the point of his execution actually.
Thats the story, the whole story... well almost.

Cool thing is, I own the disc version of manhunt 1 for pc boxed :3

I love the game Because its a GAME for 1 reason, Story in the first was win too

And yes the first is banned in the UK, But you can still find it plenty of places, Got banned a few months after release, Think my dad brought it when it came out too.

2nd was like watching hardcore turn to softcore though, There was some great parts in manhunt 2 though, Apparently the PC version is more violent than the console versions O.o

The first had a very amazing, gritty atmosphere. It felt like an ultra violent Running Man. The soundtrack was spot on and they put lots of effort into the game.

For example, take a look at all the recorded dialogue they made for this game.

Such a shame the second one was absolute garbage.

I was just listening to the soundtrack, Cant get much better than this

Hah speaking of which, I remember the Media Development Authority banned Max Payne 2 and GTASA, but Manhunt was publicly displayed on shelves. Hilarious.

Don't make compile a list.

I really liked the first one. The second was meh, as I was expecting a return of Cash. But the stealth gameplay is fun, and the uncensored kills in the AO version are absolutely brutal. I don't find it disgusting or anything, Postal 2 was far more offensive, but I've enjoyed playing both more or less.

At least I still have Manhunt 1 and 2 available to download on D2D since I purchased them day one. THinking I should reinstall them now.

postal collection here is better and funnier

Will get it, that's for sure.

Probably a good idea to backup the files. Who knows if D2D will pull the game completely...

Manhunt was basically some kind of interactive snuff movie. It was just a tasteless game produced for the sheer hell of getting a response. It got one, but that's all it achieved. I don't know a thing about the sequel but if it relies squarely on its notoriety, like the first, then it's absence is not something worth commenting on.

I played and liked the original Manhunt. Didn't find it very shocking. I'd say GTA is way more brutal. :D

Navagon agree 100% was think the samething myself.

Funny. Removed because of GameFly.

I knew they gave me a bad feeling for good reasons.
