This game isn't half as bad as they say...said me under drugs.

User Rating: 4 | Manhunt 2 PC
This game isn't BY FAR as bad as it may seem...I indeed was saying this at first, but in the second last level (I guess) I really got fed up. This game really isn't good.

Graphics are tad ugly, but they're not literally unwatchable. And trust me when I say that graphics are one of the better things about this game. System requirements are certainly unoptimal, there are animation errors, there are visual bugs...but that still isn't the bad part. You see, the gameplay of this product is negligible itself. You do just about the same stuff over and over again in each every level, only with an exception of those levels that have you running among houses under constant enemy fire (which is hardly the fun part of the game, though).

Besides, there's a fine collection of all other flaws and issues, from stupid controls (I couldn't enjoy several executions because the game simply didn't react on my mouse despite the fact there was no such trouble in the tutorial sequence; while moving around the levels regularly it's impossible to look up or down, which is something I've only seen in The Thing, and even there it did piss me off; the aiming is literally scabrous; the controls scheme itself was uncomfortable to me, and you can't rearrange the keys to your liking...WHY THE HELL NOT?!); occasionally a weird and wild camera, to enemies, which are both utterly retarded and geniuses possessing a sixth sense at the same time (sometimes you can run by right in front of their faces and they just ignore it, sometimes you can sneak behind them with a good ten meters of distance, and they suddenly turn around just to shoot the soul out of you), and terrible weapons sound effects.

But, in order to commend the game a little and explain a relatively nice rating (for such critique) - the atmosphere of the game is so thick it could be sliced at times, the violence is pretty enjoyable (at least from the beginning), and for some mysterious reason I had quite some fun with the first half of the game. However, the second half of the game is made of some unbelievably stupid levels with breathtakingly bad level design and growing boredom. Apart from that, the game completely froze on me during a cutscene (which are disgusting, by the way) at the end of a level TWICE. Of course I didn't save the game manually in the meantime since I expected the checkpoints to write down and save by themselves (but no, after a checkpoint yo dou have to go and save the game manually in order to continue from the last checkpoint next time you go to play), and so I had to replay the whole level from its beginning. The moment this happened for a second time, I've just had enough of it and simply uninstalled the game without mercy.

Although there could be couple more individuals like me who could have fun with it at first, the overall quality of the game is sure to cast a huge shadow over any fun one might've been having, and such individual would then only start to hate the game for wasting their time with it. Keep your hands away from this one!

+ Occasionally thick atmosphere, the violence is great (until it gets old), the first half can be entertaining, the uninstallation process is ultra-fast

- Everything else and if you start the game and it doesn't repulse you immediately (you'll keep playing), it can upset you like no other...
