Manhunt

Manhunt is a psychological horror stealth-based action game released in 2003 by Rockstar Games for the PlayStation 2. Set in the grim and gritty underworld of a decaying city, the game follows James Earl Cash, a man forced to participate in a twisted snuff film where he must survive against murderous criminals. The gameplay revolves around stealth, as players must silently eliminate enemies using a variety of brutal weapons, with an emphasis on executing "snuff" kills in increasingly disturbing ways. The game is notorious for its graphic violence and dark atmosphere, pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable in video games at the time. Manhunt received both praise and criticism for its intense, mature content and innovative stealth mechanics, making it a polarizing title in the gaming community. Despite the controversy, it became a cult classic, particularly for fans of Rockstar's gritty storytelling and immersive, albeit disturbing, world.
