Big, Ugly Alice in Wonderland
Pros:
Great 3rd-person Sneaker. The Dark Side of Fun.
Cons:
Limited weapons make Executions a little monotonous, but it's still fun
The Bottom Line:
I would definitely recommend this game. It's gameplay and music are enough to keep you busy for a while.

Author's Review
Manhunt is one of the best Stealth-Based Games I have ever played. It's gratuitous violence and cursing won't get Grandma to buy it for you. (Sorry, kids!)
You are James Cash, felon. You apparently committed a heinous crime and now you must pay. You are executed before the eyes and ears of America, only to wake up later to a man over the intercom. His name is Starkweather, or simply "the Director". Old Starky's a grade-A snuff film creator, and you're his next big star! For those of you out the loop on modern cruelty, a 'Snuff' film is basically a home movie of someone getting raped, tortured and possibly killed.
You slice, stab, shoot, bludgeon, and decapitate your way through 20 levels with weapons ranging from household items like Plastic Bags and baseball bats to police-issued Six-Shooters, Shotguns, and Sniper Rifles.
With most of the weapons you can sneak up on an unsuspecting victim, (i.e. Gang Member, White Supremacist, Mental Lunatics, Police ..etc.) and administer an "Execution", which "snuffs" out the poor slob in a gruesome manner. The longer you hold the button, the more vile the slaughtering.
After each level you are given a rating based on your performance 1-5 stars, just like a movie. The more high level executions you rack up, the higher the rating. More stars unlock bonus artwork and cheat to make the game a little easier, but you have to get the ratings before the cheats will be enabled.
The music and ambience effects are very life-like, and sometimes you can get a chuckle out of a fat loony talking to his imaginary friend. I like to play this game at night with no lights on by myself. It's even fun to bring other people to play it with.
I give it 5 out of 5 Stars...
