Trivia:

In the level "Press Coverage", while exploring the journalist's apartment, there's a calendar in the kitchen, that shows the current month and year as November and 2003, and a small smiley face has been drawn on the 19th. 19 November 2003 was the game's release date.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the level "Graveyard Shift", Cash uses a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun. In the cut-scene that ends the level, Cash is carrying a pump-action military-style shotgun.

Quotes:

The Director: You've got to understand, Cash, I couldn't let them go. Where were your family when you needed them? I'm all the family you have now.

Very playable, very cool, very nasty

If you have any kind of built up anger from a day of hard work, just sit down, turn on your Playstation and put in Manhunt, the ultimate game to take your rage out on. With dozens of varied and very violent ways to execute exceptionally hate able characters this is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth for gore. Done in a cctv camera style, this is an original, addictive and challenging stealth game that in fact requires a lot of time and thought. The only drawback with it is the later levels where stealth kills are no longer the way to succeed; it's an array of fun but repetitive gunfights. But don't let me give you the wrong idea; this along with Max Payne and San Andreas is easily Rockstar's finest offering, well most violent anyway. Vicious, blood thirsty and good fun.
