Here's a link to all of them.

So many of them are brutal, but I'd choose the machete beheading.

Despite the fact that the graphics are obviously outdated, the animations and sound are ridiculously good. No other game has matched the first Manhunt in terms of disturbing executions and realistic gore.

Bar_bar12 · Dec 13, 2014

lol @ the machete beheading. Reminds me of some shit I stirred up on GameFAQS a couple of months ago.

aygomyownroad · Dec 13, 2014

Plastic bag... No others come close

MMaRsu · Dec 13, 2014

Lol stil a pretty sick ass game, the sounds really make it.

LordJim · Dec 13, 2014

The Wire final one, I'd say

Guerrillas in the Mist · Dec 13, 2014

Brian Cox is the Rector (a mostly ceremonial senate position) at my university. I've met him a couple of times, and I've been tempted each time to say "I loved you in Manhunt".

same for me. the gurgles.

RP912 · Dec 13, 2014

The plastic bag execution. Something about being unable to breath while somebody punches you in the nose is uneasy on me, compared to the other executions which were quick and brutal

.

Summer Haze · Dec 13, 2014

The cheese-wire beheading. Don't even have to watch the video.

I remember that shit making me cringe when I played it as a youth.

bronk · Dec 13, 2014

It has to be the machete one you posted. Its so brutal! I love that game.

nkarafo · Dec 13, 2014

wire beheading.

PROh1bited · Dec 13, 2014

The 2nd crowbar is the worst. The sound of the collarbone being snapped is top notch.

SJRB · Dec 13, 2014

Machette is my "favourite" too, mostly because of the insane audio.

Manhunt has some amazing voicework and effects, the gurgling and death moans are just on a whole different level.

Edit: hammer is favourite too because of how ruthlessly efficient it is.

PROh1bited · Dec 13, 2014

Do you think that if R* made a 3rd Manhunt with today's graphics, it could get away with an M rating with the brutal gore in the 1st? Or do you think it would be censored like Manhunt 2. And would you be fine with that, as long as they made the gameplay really good.

Flappy · Dec 13, 2014

Kitchen knife to the face.

Seems too real.

desmax · Dec 13, 2014

I'm going with the plastic bag execution.

It just feels so real to me

Guile · Dec 13, 2014

The things I'd do to see this get a proper sequel. Hnnnnnnnnghh

DryvBy · Dec 13, 2014

I wish R* would make a new one of these. Manhunt is actually a pretty decent stealth game too.

SJRB · Dec 13, 2014

Here is 15 minutes of uncensored Manhunt 2 execution footage. The difference between the two games is pretty substantial, the animations are incredible at times.

randomwab · Dec 13, 2014

The middle crowbar attack where he sticks it into the collar bone and snaps it always gets me. The sound is god damn horrible.

Probably mild censoring on consoles and uncensored on PC.

Stabbing people in the eyes. I love that game.

This is not just uncensored. This is the game modded to get rid of the distortion and fixing the camera angle that's supposed to obstruct some of the stuff that's going on.

The game is portrayed as even more violent by these kill animation vids.

I know. Awesome, isn't it?

The hedge clipper cutting the spine in half is my favourite.

Big_Al · Dec 13, 2014

Manhunt is brilliant but I really enjoyed Manhunt 2 as well. Liked its story and it's black humour a lot. The executions are extremely brutal as well, a lot more so
than the first game. The plastic bag ones are nasty.

I don't specifically care about a new Manhunt game but I'd love a new Rockstar stealth game.

Solid SOAP · Dec 13, 2014

What is the motivation for the character to so ruthlessly and horrifically murder these characters?

Not just kill, but do so in such barbaric ways?

The protagonist is insane, I think.

I recall the main character being forced into a snuff film in the original. The second one, I dunno.

He's being told what to do by a director. They're basically making snuff films.

Well in the first game Cash was on death row and it's never really expanded upon so it's not hard to imagine he's a brutal murderer/scumbag. Plus as others have said he's 'starring' in a snuff film and being hunted/told what to do. Brian Cox is amazing in it, one of my favourite performances of his.

In the sequel your character

suffers from split personality and was in a government program which fucked him up

Snuff to survive.

All of this makes me want to fire it up right now.

Piggsy arm cutting was one of the most glorious things I've felt in a game ever, after being so scared of every little bit of noise.

The game was terrifying.

IdreamofHIME · Dec 13, 2014

Piggsy getting his arms chopped off, falling and then bouncing like a ball on the concrete.

It's engraved into my mind.

ChawlieTheFair · Dec 13, 2014

Never played manhunt, but holy fuck if that machete stuff was the most effectively brutal thing I've seen in video games. That sound design is fucking excellent.

notoriousKTR · Dec 13, 2014

A nextgen Manhunt would be insane!

petran79 · Dec 13, 2014

I think the leaked Manhunt 2 shovel execution was even more brutal, but for the lower body parts.

It's been a while since I played it but that also came to mind.

dyergram · Dec 13, 2014

The wii version had one where you beat somebody with a phone then strangled them. Also something with barbed wire between the legs that was gross as well.

Ohmygoditsjrod · Dec 13, 2014

I always liked the baseball bat 3rd one. Mostly because it would splatter on the walls.

TraBuch · Dec 13, 2014

I watched that video in the first post and didn't see it, but I could've sworn there was an execution where you put a plastic bag over an enemy's head and just stabbed the shit out of his face with a glass shard. Am I just totally imagining things?

I was like "Whaaa, he somehow completely wacks a dude's head to nothing?" Even my teenage self was a bit confused by it.

Poke a hole through the bag, problem solved.

Seriously, this execution was the one that had taken me out of the experience, as plastic bags that you find in grocery stores are not what you call a durable material.

Flappy · Dec 13, 2014

I'm shocked at so many people saying the plastic bag executions. They seem the most tame to me.

Hell, I've known people who put bags over their own heads for fun.

You're not supposed to do that. Weren't you in kindergarten?

Eppy Thatcher · Dec 13, 2014

Crowbar 3rd execution - Hammer executions and the Cheese wire... so gud.

I remember throwing this back into my ps2 and running through the whole game like twice just before San Andreas came out (?) because R* had mentioned somewhere in an interview that they were playing with control and combat mechanics in Manhunt that they were going to be using for GTA - specifically the guns and such.

Manhunt was probably one of the first games I played on the PS2 where guns actually felt like fucking guns. Headshots = death. one and done.

No, you are right. i think the third execution in part 1. Manhunt 3 would be insane on todays hardware :>

Man if R* got in touch with Platinum and got their free-cutting tech from MGR a Manhunt 3 on current consoles would be amazing.

Most brutal execution in the original Manhunt?

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
