"In that case, the game must have improved drastically after the first 20 minutes of gameplay -- which was the upper limit of my tolerance for its shoddy graphics, unresponsive control scheme and half-assed plot. Few games have bored me so quickly as this utterly uninspired brawler." Y'see those words I bolded in your quote? Manhunt is a *stealth* game; it is repeatedly stated in the game that it is a bad, bad idea to fight people mano-e-mano. If you really believe it to be a brawler, you definitely didn't play the game enough to make a judgement on it. Yes, by the by, it does improve drastically once you get past the first twenty minutes, which are nothing more than a long tutorial. Especially when played with the earpiece, Manhunt is one of the most effective, enthralling games I've ever played. You really didn't give it a chance.
