Rockstar Games has shipped Manhunt for PC and for the Xbox to North American retailers. Manhunt for the PC and Xbox will reach retail shelves in Europe on April 23, 2004. Manhunt was developed by Rockstar North, the team behind the global blockbuster Grand Theft Auto franchise.
In Manhunt, you are James Earl Cash, a death row inmate that has been sentenced to death by lethal injection. However, in a twist of fate, you are revived after a mock execution to the sound of your own panicked breath. Now, they are going to hunt you down in an organized blood sport where you are the prey. If you stay alive long enough, you may discover the identity of your captor. To survive his deadly game, you must run, fight and hide.
Manhunt is a tale of survival and urban horror that made an immediate impact on the gaming world when it was released for the PlayStation 2 in November of 2003. Hailed by The Chicago Tribune as the most important game of the last five years, Manhunt has earned critical and commercial success due to its innovative gameplay and gritty visual style.
