Manhunt is a masterpiece. It was a really clever move by Rockstar too. They were forced by Take2 to come up with something inbetween Vice City and San Andreas. At the time stealth games were really popular but most were terrible copies of Hitman, MGS and Splinter Cell. So Rockstar did it on the cheap, they took the GTA engine, put their own spin on the genre and it worked. And it sold and people still talk about it today.
@@eivindgjengstjohansen9625 The teenager was unhinged anyway. People have been killing people since before video games and will continue to do so after gaming fades away into legend.
Fun fact, when I bought this on release day for ps2, it was also bundled with the running man dvd. Also was 1 of few games that had mic support at the time.
I watch Manhunter, the original version of Red Dragon, the Warriors, and Running Man and I have to play this game again. It's gritty, dirty, and soaked in 70's grime and grunge.
Rockstar needs to grow a spine and work on manhunt 3 and bully 2. I know they're having fun making money off gta 5 being released on damn near everything. But why not use that to take chances again
With how complex Rockstar games are these days, I wouldn't be surprised if they just don't have the manpower right now. I read that GTA VI is the most expensive video game of all time. Still, I would love to see them take a step back after gta 6 comes out and start making other games again.
Manhunt is amazing and Rockstar is afraid to acknowledge that lol, I would love to see a Manhunt 3 where cash has a family (wife, possibly the reporter, and some kids) and they get kidnapped by Mr. Nasty so that it forces him back into the snuff ring, we only met an employee of Mr. Nasty through Starkweather so he’s still out there running valiant video and is possibly Donald Love from the GTA universe.
I've alreasdy seen A BUNCH of different manhunt reviews/retrospectives,but this one was especially good. I want Manhunt 3 someday so bad,especially with today's technology!!!
I have been playing this and its great. The music is very dark and a little like the Warriors which was another Rock Star classic. Nothing more satisfying then hiding in the dark and coming from behind for a great kill. It never gets old honestly. The gore sounds are great too. Very dark game but fun.
Manhunt and Postal 1 occupy the same part of my brain. They're both pieces of media that make me feel icky to interact with, and it's a shame that more media doesn't tap into that. I'm glad you mentioned Terrifier as well, as I feel it fits into that same niche. Excellent video!
This game released here in Australia uncensored and with an MA15+ rating. We did not have an R18+ rating for videogames back then so it could either get an MA15+ rating or get refused classification and never released. After that murder the game got banned. Years after it got banned I found an ex-rental copy at a newsagent. It cost me a whole $5. It didn't come with the manual though. The game released on PS4 as a PS2 classic and had an R18+ rating. But even with an R18+ it got removed from PSN a while later and has never come back.
I managed to get my hands on GTA San Andreas from a collector, just looking for vice city and of course MAN HUNT. It's great to re-live the PS2 era in my opinion. Hands down the best era for gaming! Rock star was the best 🔥🔥🔥
Bro how have you only got 1k subscribers. You’d think this was being produced by a mainstream media company!! I’ve only played manhunt a handful of times but I love the soundtrack. It’s what inspired me to want to work in soundtracking because of how amazing the ambient production was in that game. Keep up the good work! I’ll be keeping a close eye!
It's a shame manhunt 1 & 2 were delisted and the is no support for the PS2 port for the PS5 it's now borderline unplayable when I try to run it now. They were truly masterful games and even though 2 lost that snuff film voyeuristic esthetic I still enjoyed the story it had to tell but nowhere near as good as the original and I believe if they were to give the series a shot again and go back to the snuff film theme of the original they could create one of the most brutal interesting horror games of all time the subject matter alone is so raw and morally challenging and I can't get of enough of it I love uncomfortable media I want a horror movie or game to make me feel dirty when it over like when it ends it takes apart of me with it.
Great video! I only disagree with the guns, its inclusion isn’t awful, but once the end of the game focuses on shooting, especially with controller, really affects the games pacing and difficulty. Not that you’re wrong, just a different perspective. This game is a masterpiece in atmosphere and absolutely pitch black subject matter. There’s not a single other game just as vile as this one. Although the second game does pump up the violence, everything else falls flat compared to the first.
7:45 Max Payne 2(PC version)is still my favorite in terms of physical packaging. The way Remedy packaged Max Payne 2 was like most companies package a collector's edition. Really Beautiful artwork and fancy packaging. It legit felt like a steal.
Played for the First Time in 2021 was working on 5 stars. I got a PS5 for GTA6, Kingdom Come 2, Ghost of Yotei and Mafia Old Country. Anyway i transfers my data only to find out on PS5 the game has issues. I decided to get it on Xbox and Wish in did from the start. The Xbox version has setting that lets improve the camera issue the game feels great in that regard. One of my all time favourites.
By today's standards, it's not bad at all. I tried to look at it through the eyes of my 10 year old self seeing that kind of violence for the first time. It sticks with you. This game, the laser scene in the resident evil movie, and the log truck scene from Final Destination 2. We got some fucked up stuff in the early 2000s lol.
If you read the manual for Manhunt 2 you actually discover the protagonist (I forgot his name) is actually from San Andreas. I thought that was a pretty cool detail.
Fantastic video man, one thing about the innocents I believe there’s kinda like a two in one thing going on with them lol. I think you have the skull mask/face paint satanist latinos as one part and then the doll mask wearing PDF files as another part. The skull mask dudes sound like stereotypical latino gangsters while the doll mask ones sound more like white dudes. Or they could both be into the same messed up things who knows. Also manhunt 2 gets a lot of hate and in some areas I agree but I do think it’s a fine title (although 1 is my favorite).
It works great on Windows 10 despite negative comments, you just have to download fanmade patch. Grab the game on sale, should be at least 75% off in december before christmas.
I wonder if when starkweather was hiring the gangs of hunters did he pay them before hand or after they killed cash cause thats crazy if he never had to pay them since cash killed everyone
17:30, The innocentz gang wasn’t big enough to take on cash so Starkweather reinforced them with the baby faces who are like you said p3dos, their dialogue varies from the innocentz and is more sexual n weird the longer you listen.
Hahaha, if you listen back to that part it probably sounds weird because I did say Succession but I thought I pronounced it wrong so I took it out lol.
We need another game like this in this day and age. Considering how prude and "safe" everything is nowadays, where being edgy and dark and mature would get you cancelled in the public eye. But this time, it's not by scared Christian parents thinking your game is satanist and turns your kids into sociopaths, but progressive parents thinking your game is fascist and turns your kids into neo-Nazis lmao
Yeah that Sealab show is much more hilarious as an adult and freaked me out as a kid but I cannot deny that theme song was clutch from the beginning. 🤌
I’m still hesitant to buy this and I’m 28 lmao. Ever since something this dude from GameStop told me and my dad when I was a child. And I play very violent games
I still remember when I was in Kuwait, they literally banned this game and make a criminal law against own it. How it reach here? Smuggling. And it was hidden behind kids game, and I MEAN IT! Kids game of a bunny or fast food restaurant game, or something innocent. When we play it we thought it was something else completely, it was dark it was suffocating intro and main menu . all until we see the art style like gta? Then we get our first kill, it was brutal . And it was within my cousin house. When the police knock in the door and ask of the game since they catch the guy who sold it to us, and ask us to give them the cd, which he immediately break it to pieces and said : don’t pick it nor fix it, we will know.
Atmosphere in this game is unmatched
Facts!!!
Manhunt is definitely one of the greatest horror games ever made. Please rockstar make a MH3.

Nurse! NURSE! HE STOLE MY SHOE! *screams*
21 years later. Manhunt caused zero murders and as most of us suspected a child’s future mainly depended on the people bashing the game. Parents.
A teenager killed a friend with a hammer after playing it (the UK case)
@@eivindgjengstjohansen9625 The teenager was unhinged anyway. People have been killing people since before video games and will continue to do so after gaming fades away into legend.
Uk teenagers are fkd up it's not about games or movies it's gangs related crimes @@eivindgjengstjohansen9625
Fun fact, when I bought this on release day for ps2, it was also bundled with the running man dvd. Also was 1 of few games that had mic support at the time.
I knew I was forgetting something! I read about how you could speak or cough into the mic to lure guards as well. Such a neat feature.
I watch Manhunter, the original version of Red Dragon, the Warriors, and Running Man and I have to play this game again. It's gritty, dirty, and soaked in 70's grime and grunge.
@@viraticwarsFunny enough but if you didn’t know, Brian Cox who’s Starkweather in this game was the original Hannibal Lecter in Manhunter the movie
@@wolfgangfrost8043 The very first Hannibal on film.
"Manhunt" will always have a warm place in my heart
Rockstar needs to grow a spine and work on manhunt 3 and bully 2. I know they're having fun making money off gta 5 being released on damn near everything. But why not use that to take chances again
They’ve gone soft :(
With how complex Rockstar games are these days, I wouldn't be surprised if they just don't have the manpower right now. I read that GTA VI is the most expensive video game of all time. Still, I would love to see them take a step back after gta 6 comes out and start making other games again.
Cuckstar is never gonna make man 3, but might make bully 2, if they weren't so lazy
@@Sampla_D Woke
It's never going to happen. 😢
We might get a game like this again soon with how crazy movies are getting these days, horror movies.
Terrifier 3???
Terrifier: The ARTcade game comes out in 2025
Channels like this make RUclips the best app on the planet
Manhunt is amazing and Rockstar is afraid to acknowledge that lol, I would love to see a Manhunt 3 where cash has a family (wife, possibly the reporter, and some kids) and they get kidnapped by Mr. Nasty so that it forces him back into the snuff ring, we only met an employee of Mr. Nasty through Starkweather so he’s still out there running valiant video and is possibly Donald Love from the GTA universe.
Like a video game version of the movie “Nobody”
This game still scares the shit out of me the intensity and atmosphere still holds up today. I still have my og copy from when I was a kid
It’s backward compatible on Xbox…..
Just before this video started a car ad with Brian Cox appeared what a nice coincidence. Edit: it was a commercial for Uber my bad.
I've alreasdy seen A BUNCH of different manhunt reviews/retrospectives,but this one was especially good. I want Manhunt 3 someday so bad,especially with today's technology!!!
I love the Sealab 2021 theme song, props for bring it to more peoples attention.
Has a nostalgic vibe to it
First video I’m seeing of yours I’m definitely subscribing keep it up man!!

I'm subbed for that video talking about the art that went into video game boxes and manuals 💛
Love how you used Croc background music 🤣🤣😅😅 Quick nostalgia hit
I managed to get my hands on GTA San Andreas from a collector, just looking for vice city and of course MAN HUNT. It's great to re-live the PS2 era in my opinion. Hands down the best era for gaming! Rock star was the best 🔥🔥🔥
Best game used to play with my dad because I was to scared to play alone now 20 and still think this game is scary
If Manhunt scares you, then I recommend that you try a game called “Condemned Criminal Origins”. It’s like a First Person version of Manhunt
Man, I gotta play this again.
my childhood game and I still love it. masterpiece.
Bro how have you only got 1k subscribers. You’d think this was being produced by a mainstream media company!!
I’ve only played manhunt a handful of times but I love the soundtrack. It’s what inspired me to want to work in soundtracking because of how amazing the ambient production was in that game.

Even though they would make millions from it they'll never be an official ManHunt 3.

@brian_david hell yea. I've been an avid fan of them and Sam Lake since 2003
@@thefearofg0ds758 rip to James he brought that character to life.
I remember playing this game in 2006, good old memories this game was my favorite
The most underrated game of all time. The physical menu is legendary.
I have both manhunt games on 100% completion. It's my comfort game
Played for the First Time in 2021 was working on 5 stars. I got a PS5 for GTA6, Kingdom Come 2, Ghost of Yotei and Mafia Old Country.

Stay in the algo dude it's holy
I am at its mercy
My dads favorite game and the only game he ever played
Might say a lot about his character...
I have beat Manhunt a few times and I don't think it's as shocking and controversial as some people think. It's a pretty fun game though!
By today's standards, it's not bad at all. I tried to look at it through the eyes of my 10 year old self seeing that kind of violence for the first time. It sticks with you.

Props to Croc soundtrack
Watch my Croc video, I love that little guy!
My lil bro and i love this game.
We called it man c unt.
"The longer the note, the more dread."
Manhunt was fkn awesome!
Right after I finished the first 2 is perfect timing.

I missed that when I was going over them, but some people here brought it to my attention. I guess it makes sense why theyre so different lol
I turned 18 the year Manhunt came out. It was the first M-rated game I was able to buy myself.
Sea lab was lit and the song was dope
SEAAAA LABBBBB, UNDERNEATH THE WATER
When I killed Piggsy, it waas so satisfying
We need a 3rd one
We go from bold stuff like this to Mary John's iron jaw from Spiderman 2 and the eye-herpes that is GTA VI. This timeline sucks.
i didnt know that about the steam version. Thanks for the video my guy. Keep it up!

The one in the flannel shirt was a pedo, the other one was mentally challenged and tricked into thinking the hunt was a game
Now red dead 2 has way more gore
Noticed everyone been doing videos
About manhunt lately.
Signs they want this game back.
These early R* games show that Rockstar once truly cared about us fans before shark cards folks..
Wild you left out succession and manhunter for bryan cox
Hahaha, if you listen back to that part it probably sounds weird because I did say Succession but I thought I pronounced it wrong so I took it out lol.

Let's ignore the smear campaign for this game revolving around snuff films all the while shite like Epstein Island happened. Oh boy I wonder whyyyy
People are jusr too soft
Why go through piracy methods if you can get the pc version legitimately on eneba?? Just curious...i myself sail the 7 seas
James earl cash and the other Rockstar guy's not used anymore just sitting in a litted
Room playing eternal poker.😂
Just my two cents, I prefer Condemned
A man of culture! I will definitely be talking about Condemned at some point, I love those games.
