Manhunt (series): Difference between revisions

* [[Beating a Dead Player]]: Literally in the first game, as the hunters punch and kick your bloody corpse.

** Only if you put up a tough fight, though. If you have a baseball bat duel with an enemy and almost kill him but he beats you, he will continue pummeling your body until the screen fades to black. Otherwise they just laugh and taunt your corpse. Also, the crooked cops you fight later on always do this no matter what.

* [[Bowdlerise|Bowdlerised]]: The second game, to avoid an AO rating (in the pre-Steam/digital download days, this was effectively a ban).

* [[But Not Too Black]] / [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Cash, if [[A Nazi By Any Other Name|The Skinz']] motivation in hunting him is anything to go by.

* [[Chainsaw Good]]: The first game mainly, but the second game features a smaller circular power saw.

* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Plenty of 'em.

* [[Corrupt Hick]]: The Skinz/Wardogs gangs in the first game and the Bloodhounds in the second.

* [[Faceless Goons]]: A lot of the hunters wear masks or face paint.

* [[Fed to Pigs]]: Piggsy, the sadistic psycho-killer in a mask made from a pig's head, believes that he's a pig, and feeds off corpses that the Cerberus provide for him.

* [[Gaiden Game]]: Very obliquely, as this game is set in the same universe as the ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' series.

* [[Gang of Hats]]: The hunters are assorted into various gangs or groupings.

* ''<big>[[Gorn]]</big>''-So much that anyone who happens to love horror and blood would be proud of.

* [[Groin Attack]]: One of the executions in the first game, a few in the second.

* [["Hey You!" Haymaker]]: One of the executions, albeit with a hatchet rather than bare fists.

* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]

* [[Mook Horror Show]]

* [[Murder Simulators]]

* [[Off With His Head]]: And you can scare other mooks with them.

* [[One-Man Army]]

* [[Score Multiplier]]: Via the different kinds of execution.

* [[Sequel Escalation]]: Compare the executions [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGuhX5AmjuA from the first game] with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATw6FAmeMdo those from the second game]. ((Warning: both are NSFW.))

* [[Snuff Film]]: The entire plot of the first game. Seen in the second game with the hidden cameras in the torture rooms of the sex club. Additionally at a turning point in both games the protagonist {{spoiler|is shown a video of his family being murdered}} shifting their motivation from survival to revenge.

* [[Stealth Based Game]]: Although the stealth is technically optional, trying to take on hunters directly in the first game will make you regret your decision. The game's combat system is clunky and awkward enough to make stealth seem massively preferable by design. The firearms sections of the game make little use of stealth, although it certainly helps when {{spoiler|pursued by half of Carcer City's police force or facing off against seven of Starkweather's troopers}}.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Several of the Skinz talk to themselves about wanting to make their dead fathers proud of them.

* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|Danny's two kids}}, no mention of them aside from "they're fine" shortly before the game's final moments, after that in the good ending {{spoiler|Daniel adopts a whole new life as David}}, basically implying that now {{spoiler|two children won't have their father, Daniel, back.}}

* [[X Meets Y]]: It's ''[[The Warriors]]'' meets ''[[The Running Man]]'' meets the [[Slasher Movie]] genre.

** The sequel is the [[Slasher Movie]] genre meets {{spoiler|''[[Fight Club]]''}}.
