50. Manhunt
Manhunt’s gameplay revolves around stealth, as you must evade detection by the hunters. Being separated into levels, each with a distinct goal preventing you from advancing. You can use a wide variety of weapons and makeshift things to take down the hunters, but you must be careful not to draw too much attention to yourself.
Manhunt’s graphics are harsh and realistic, effectively conveying the dark and deadly environment of the game. The sound design is also excellent, with frightening music and realistic sound effects adding to the overall atmosphere of the game.
Manhunt’s plot is dark and unpleasant, centred on a struggle for survival in a warped world where violence is the only language spoken. The game’s narrative is well-written and entertaining, and the characters, despite their often gruesome nature, are compelling.
With such an unique concept, Manhunt rounds off our list of the greatest PS2 games ever.
