Rockstar Games’ Brutal PS2 Classic Manhunt Returns on PlayStation Network Today

For James Earl Cash, his bloody work is never done.

Rockstar Games has certainly stirred up its controversies over the years between such games as Grand Theft Auto and Bully, but nothing stirred the pot more than its brutal third-person action game Manhunt.

Focusing on a death row offender named James Earl Cash, the game put you in a very interesting “kill or be killed” scenario where you’re fighting for your life as instructed by a man known as “The Director”.  The game was a bonafide hit despite its brutal violence, but it’s been years since we’ve heard anything from the franchise since the 2007 release Manhunt 2.

Today we’ll be getting a dose of that classic action back, as Rockstar will be re-releasing the game as a PlayStation Network download when the store update goes live today.  Every ounce of action from the original will return for the price of $9.99.

It may not be everyone’s speed, but if you’re an admirer of Rockstar Games’ work, it’s definitely a must-have.
