    I have always loved the grimy, nasty, degenerate feel of the game. How everything feels so grimy and raw and dirty, with tools not only in the gameplay, but with the cameras and musical instraments, being used to do something they were never meant to do. The game feels wrong and raw, gritty and rough. Nothing is elegant or fancy in the game, everything is raw, awkward, and rough. I honestly loved that atmosphere and I really love this game.

    Piggsy was a cool character to me. Before he became a pig man chained to a wall, he was a famous and familiar face in the underground world of snuff films. After a while, he became completely unhinged and uncontrollable. Instead of killing him off, Starkweather decides to keep him as a prisoner and keep using him for future snuff projects

    Great vid, Grim - Manhunt's one of those games where there's that kernel of a really interesting story in there, like you point out with Piggsy, but it's lost in the midst of all the sneak-and-slash gameplay. Weirdly enough, the not-really-a-sequel seems to try and make more of a 'point' about the violence, but ends up becoming more incoherent in the process.

      Too bad lots of lore were not in the game. There was (still is maybe?) A website where you could listen to the reporter's asylum sessions after the game (she didn't deal very well with everything and they kinda made everything she found sound like something else and discredited her).
      Piggsy was the Director's previous "main star" and was already mentally unstable. Starkweather simply pushed him as much as he could.

    5:32 pretty sure some media (british, I think) tried to blame some violent crime on Dynasty Warriors once...
    And the worst part was the absolute lack of research made into the game they tried to use as a escape goat, calling it a fantasy game (Dynasty Warriors historical fiction... adapted from historical fiction) where you violently murdered innocents by the thousands with plenty of blood and gore (Dynasty Warriors has no blood or gore of any kind, the closest you get are people getting shot with arrows... Warriors Legends of Troy and later Berserk Musou... on the other hand).

      Thats honestly hilarious
      A similar thing happened in the states. There was this game called Nighttrap, where it had heavy use of fmvs and you played as a security dude watching security cameras to protect a bunch of teenage girls at a sleepover from being kidnapped and killed by a bunch of vampires. Somehow, the media spun the game into a game where you stalk and brutally murder and rape a bunch of teenage girls. Yea, I dont think the game featured a single drop of blood if I recall correctly. Its honestly shocking how the game became as infamous as it did. Its a very gimmicky fmv-filled point and click game where you try in real time to stop these vampires from kidnapping these girls.

Telling them to wait in a shadow while you go do your thing, then backtrack to them and progress. I thought it was just a bit more annoying. Still good, since a lot of it tested your stealth skill and such, since there were multiple times you came upon a group of 3 or more people in a confined area.

    This game was and still is special. Sure the gameplay is stiff by todays standards but man did it really nail that snuff film vibe that they were aiming for imo. When you first start it had the uneasy mix of disturbing you but at the same also scaring the shit out of you. The feeling of being the single person being hunted is overwhelming. As you progress you can feel that shift happening from hunted to hunter. It's in the story and as you come to grips with the game mechanics and start to become a more proficient killer. Truly a cult classic at this point.

    Well its nice to see people use my Manhunt Windows 10 Fix,thank you for the review.
    Manhunt is a solid and gruesome stealth survival horror experience also it is a grotesque take on society and its hypocracy in general , the gangs represent different groups(the dialogues are great) and even today Manhunt is still a great and enjoyable gameplay experience. As a long time stealth and survival horror fan I can recommend Manhunt to people who like stealth games (Thief,Splinter Cell,Deus Ex) and good survival horror games(Dead Space,Suffering,Resident Evil,The Evil Within,Silent Hill),play with the lights out and on hardcore difficulty, relying on your senses, don't use the radar its cheating.
    As for casuals I dont recommend this game,because yes this game requires patience,skill, listening to every sound to get through a level, once you get to the level Border Patrol you will be breaking your keyboard multiply times since the Cerberus will one-shot you and you start it well with empty hands ,but scenes like Mouth of Madness and Kill the Rabbit are totally worth it.The only downside is the shooting mechanic-which is well GTA 3 type horrible,especially if you are a stealth game fan. But overall Brian Cox voicing the Director(Lioinel Starkweather),gritty snuff film atmosphere,atmospheric soundtrack and each gang represents its own unique and funny dialogues, and well there is Piggsy make Manhunt a great and enjoyable experience even today.

    Manhunt lore actually becomes interesting when you think about what isn't shown and what isn't explained. How do these locations get scouted, secured and staged. Who and how many people are in on the conspiracy? Pigsy, by my interpretation is your predecessor. He probably did all the same stuff Cash had to do, he survived, was double crossed and locked up as a plaything, now a broken, soulless killing machine. He's a reflection of what Cash would have been. (Also that 3D Movie Maker at 31:10. takes me back.)

    16:02 I remember a long LONG time ago(like shortly after the game was released) there was an ancient interview with one of the writers stating there was originally going to be more back story for Cash(not much but more than what was given) in that he was involved in the murder/excecution of a police officer in the early 90's and was on the run for a decade. You can kind of still hear remnants of this story later in the game when see how noticeably hostile the corrupt Carcer City police are to Cash and they call him a "cop killer"(I always saw it as them calling him that because you do kill several cops in the game, but this back story gives it more meaning). The idea was dropped to give him more mystery as(loose quote):
    *not knowing what this guy could have done to have him in this situation kind of places him on the same footing as the filth he's found himself mixed up in. A back story makes him special. We didn't want him to be special or above anyone in the story. What did he do? Who cares. He's a piece of trash, same as everyone else in this city*
    Basically they wanted Cash to blend in with every other piece of filth you run into in Carcer City and didn't want Cash to stand out. But I always took that as his canon backstory even though it was removed.

    I have a distinct and vivid memory to this day of describing the kills in the game to the other boys during P.E. in middle school whose parents refused to let them play it. As this was at a time where a lot of friends and acquaintances of mine were being helicopter-parented due to a new 'violent vidya games' panic. My parents trusted that I wasn't a psychopath, and it always surprised me how many parents didn't think as highly of their children. Playing Manhunt was no different to me than blowing up GI Joe figurines with fireworks, or burning ants with a magnyfyting glass. Except significantly less destructive. >__>
    But then again, I also played the likes of Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid and Donkey Kong 64, if a kid _only_ wants to play manhunt, Hitman Silent Assassin and GTA3 then maybe I'd understand wanting to keep it away from them.
    But I digress.... I think I remember it so much because afterwards It kinda hit me how I must sound gleefully recounting sawing some guys head off with a wire, or wrapping a plastic bag over someones face and strangling them...
    Didn't stop everyone from calling me Hitman throughout middleschool and a bit into high school. How many kids get such a badass nickname? :P
    I also recall getting called into the guidance counselors office and being grilled about why other kids called me the Hitman. I should've said it's because I can make you tap to the sharpshooter! I was totally on some list I am sure. XD

    Fuck dude listening to your videos is like a goddamn history lesson and the history is about us.
    I grew up being told that the video games I play is going to turn me into a school shooter and that I was addicted and will be like those Colombine kids.
    Its crazy because now that I study these sociological/criminology concepts I know how much bullshit all of that was. There was a time where I was genuinely feeling ashamed that I played video games and would actively avoid telling other people I played them at all in fear of being seen that way.
    Thank you for making these glimpse in the past parts of the video to explain the historical context its gratifying to know that it isn't forgotten because it should NEVER be forgotten.

      When I was a kid, an older cousin had it for the 64 and it's one of the first gaming experiences where I recall being amazed by a story. Around that time, I played a lot of the first two Dooms, Quake, Zelda and Mario, but it never occurred to me that a game could tell a story like shadow man did.
      I would love to revisit it and see if it holds up. If Grim ever reviews it, that'd be amazing. What parts disturbed you most?

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Rockstar should make a straight-up horror game. Not necessarily another Manhunt game, but maybe taking some inspiration. The darker creepier elements of RDR2 to me looks like someone working there has a lot of spooky game ideas just dying to get out into the world. Rockstar are never gonna do it though /: except for Capcom with Resident Evil, I don’t think any major studio sees horror as profitable anymore. It makes me sad

    18:04 is the hardest I've laughed in a long time. Just the idea that you're talking about how masculine and gritty the game is, only for a literal nazi to call you a chicken is great. But what's even better is your commentary "who's the chicken now?" It sounds so deliciously unhinged but comedic. Especially with your little chuckle when you start speaking that line. And what's the cherry on top? That perfect cut RIGHT as you disintegrate the nazi's head. Even cutting off the end of the word "now"
    All those things mixed and made a hilarious moment. Thanks for that 😆

    I'm surprised it took this long before anyone even mentioned Manhunt! I loved it! Of course, I'm an adult and it was meant for my age group. Manhunt did for stealth what Metal Gear couldn't. Metal Gear was too frustrating. Manhunt was easy to play and, regardless of what XBOX magazine said, it WAS interesting and forced me to want to see what lay around that next corner! The second one I didn't really get into as much. They slightly changed an already perfect formula. As far as games go, it remains in my top 10 because of the gameplay. Not to mention the 'Director' was done by Brian Cox (Agamnon in Troy). It might be dated now, but the amount of dialog put into it was really impressive for the time and it's still fun today. I'd like to see a remake. The claw hammer and baseball bat were also pretty gruesome! The camera would swing around to give you the most nauseating view possible. The missions were varied though and changed up at a nice pace. Strange though. I never really got into the GTA series. Manhunt was a different story altogether. I played it on my PS 2 and it ran great. Almost tailor made for those controls. I'm glad someone finally did a review of this one!

    The violence in this game is no different than what happens in certain parts of this world on a day to day basis, minus the snuff film plot. This game feels like a fitting statement on real world violence, and shows the personification of human cruelty. It's not just violence for violence sake, it has a message to tell us.
    It's also a terrifying experience and a great game with a. awesome storyline!! I'm glad I own it.

    My primary interest in this game back in the day was the (at the time) new and exciting violence I had never seen before. I do enjoy seeing "cool" and inventively brutal animations. I found the game to be also a pretty mediocre but enjoyable stealth game. But then I got to the part where you start using guns and my enjoyment evaporated.
    I tried playing the sequel but was surprised that it was a bit too sadistic for me and I didnt even enjoy watching the kill animations.
