Manhunt is extremely controversial, and for good reason. It's hyper-violent and disturbing, forcing you to sneak around and execute enemies in brutal ways. The story is bleak, the atmosphere is oppressive, and it definitely makes you question how far is too far in a video game. It can be disturbingly effective at what it does, but even if you're into horror, the excessive and repetitive violence becomes numbing. Manhunt is a hard pass for most, and only for those with a strong stomach and an understanding that its brutality is intended as a commentary, not simply entertainment.
