hey, game is very original and fun but um, looking on screenshots from abandonia, there is one with "the end" written in it. isn't showing outro screen a bit spoiling..?=/

Yes it is clearly that the aliens stopped Osama Bin Laden in his plot to blow up the WTC. Total plot spoiling!!

Seriously though, this is an awesome game.

And to add another thing: what god damn jerks gave the game 1 point ? The score was on 5 before, with 4 people or so voting, and it has dropped to 3.6 with 4 more votes. This means that several people vote "1". Why? Just because it's old and doesn't have fancy 3D graphics? The rating has long since become useless since even the best games get a pretty crap score on here due to people giving rediculously low scores without even having played the game I bet.

Yeah, I've seen people complain about wanting better graphics for these games before. They totally miss the point. If the Manhunter games had better graphics, they would be really, really grotesque. In this case, the oldschool graphics really help their appeal.

I try to go through both Manhunter games every year or so, since they are so unlike any other games out there.

I was so proud of getting to the end that I had to include that one. Nothing about that screen shot gives you any indication of how the game ends, however. Have played the game twice now. Got stuck on the same damn two parts the second time. Lack of memory can add to game replay value.

Totally agree. The graphics in this game added a little bit of a comic book appeal which I find kinda fun.

The end screenshot spoils nothing, you should check out the starting screen, it's almost identical.
@Red Avatar: It's always best to read the review, and play the game and judge for yourself, people can vote without playing the game so there isn't much value in that.

Love this game. It's the atmospherics and the plot that make these games classics still. Always reminded me of Soylent Green.

No, they did not. In the intro it is 2002 when the aliens arre invading New York and the twin tower are still there. It is an alternate history.

I remember playing that one a few years back. Quite good, IMO.
Very fun for people who pay attention to details (anyone else looked up the ID of that corpse in the hospital)?
