Manhunt Coming to PSN Next Week

Posted 1 week, 1 day ago | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

Next week, the roster of downloadable Rockstar titles in the PS2 Classics collection at PlayStation Store is set to get bigger - and grislier - with the addition of Rockstar North's dark stealth thriller Manhunt, originally released 10 years ago. Beginning on May 14th Tuesday when the PSN Store does its weekly update (Wednesday for those in Europe), you'll be able to step back into the shoes of James Earl Cash, a Death Row inmate playing that most dangerous game of kill-or-be-killed at the mercy of the maniacal Lionel Starkweather.

Manhunt will be available from PSN for $9.99 / €9.99 / £7.99 and joins Bully and Red Dead Revolver, as well as all PlayStation 2 entries in the Grand Theft Auto and Midnight Club franchises, in the PS2 Classics category of PlayStation Store.

It will also soon be joined by The Warriors - stay tuned, Boppers...

For now, enjoy the original Manhunt trailers released in the summer of 2003 below - and special thanks to longtime fansite Project Manhunt.

Now that we got R+ rating, We should able to get right? i've been a fan of manhunt for long time, no game has come as brutal as manhunt. Also awesome that you guys are bringing warriors back as well, it was completely unexpected hahaha!

            @R* I do not own a PlayStation 3, nor have i ever but i have owned PS1 and PS2 and Xbox 360, last year my Xbox broke and I haven't bought a replacement so I've been w/out a system for maybe 10 months now and its the worst feeling. But because of GTA V and these classic titles being on the PSN store I will have to buy both PS3 and another 360 really soon! I really appreciate your work and how you listen to your fans. Thank you for giving me great memories and lining me up for a time to play these awesome games.

                  Hey R*, nice to see you release all these titles. What about that "QUB3D" game from GTA IV. Would be fun to play it on a smartphone. How about it?

                    @fideaux That is actually a good idea :) . May Rockstar won't get into serious trouble with the Zaibatsu .
                    Sorry , I said Zaibatsu ? I meant the Angry Birds gang of course .

                        It really hacks me off how xbox gets screwed because of the whole incompatibility issue.

                        is there even a chance that xbox users will get one of the titles in the future such as the warriors. Or anything else...

                          As someone that has been waiting for ANY manhunt news, I sincerely thank you. Shows us at least SOMEONE up there still has a place for manhunt in their heart. Thank you rockstar.

                            @R*A & Rockstar Games and fans: I remember asking specifically for a re-issue of Manhunt and The Warriors a few months back right here on the Newswire, thanks for keeping your ear to the street, guys. You have always done a great job repurposing your content because simply put, quality content 10 years back still holds up as quality content today. People always talk about the "Survival Horror" genre and associate it with rampaging zombie manatees and living room furniture coming to life to bang some unidentifiable lump of meat wrapped in electrical tape while you hide in the closet.I'd argue that Manhunt was/is one of the most atmospheric, truly scary games I've ever played found in the fact that what James Earl Cash goes through is a somewhat more feasible scenario than anything else in that category. A man lost in unforgivingly dark and brutal landscape being pursued by a wide range of the worst possible fringes of society who can't even turn to the authorities for help because of course they are in on it as well. This game has always been vastly under rated but if you mark the sign of a quality game as something that for better or worse, leaves it's impression upon you well after you've finished it, Manhunt comes highly recommended.
