The game is set in a shared universe with the Grand Theft Auto series. On the prowl around the city are numerous violent gangs, who seek to find and kill the player. Manhunt is set in the fictional Carcer City, a dilapidated rust belt city rife with corruption and crime. This adds an extra element to the stealth aspect of the game, as players must refrain from making noises such as coughing as these sounds too can attract the attention of any nearby hunters. When such a device is connected, players can use the sound of their own voice to distract in-game enemies. Manhunt makes use of the PlayStation 2's optional USB Microphone and the Xbox Live microphone feature on the Xbox in their respective versions of the game. Players have a stamina meter which depletes as they sprint, but automatically replenishes when remaining stationary. Should players take damage, their health depletes health can be restored through the use of painkillers, which are available throughout each scene. Later in the game firearms are available for use when executions become impractical. Over the course of the game, players can use a wide variety of weapons, including plastic bags, baseball bats, crowbars and a variety of bladed items. Players are in control of which level they use once players have locked onto an enemy, the lock-on reticule changes color over time to indicate the three levels: white, yellow and red. The game has three levels of execution, with each level progressively more violent and graphic than the last: 'hasty' executions are quick and not very bloody, 'violent' are considerably more gory, and 'gruesome' are over-the-top blood-soaked murders. When the hunter has examined the area and is moving away, players can easily ambush and execute them. A standard technique in the game is to hide in the shadows and tap a wall to attract the attention of a nearby hunter. Enemies cannot see into the shadows, unless they see the player actually entering the area.

To facilitate this, each scene is full of 'dark spots', shadows where the player can hide. To carry out executions, players must approach a hunter from behind, undetected. To gain the maximum number of stars, a set number of brutal executions must be carried out over the course of each scene face-to-face fighting does not award stars. On hard difficulty (called 'Hardcore'), players are graded out of five stars one for speed, one to three for brutality and one for completing the scene.

On normal difficulty (called 'Fetish'), players can earn only four stars one is awarded for completing the scene under a certain amount of time, and one to three stars are awarded based on the brutality of the executions carried out during the scene.

Unlockable content becomes available when the player achieves three or more stars on a certain number of levels. At the end of each scene, players are graded based on their performance, and awarded one to five stars. Players survive the scenes by dispatching enemy gang members, occasionally with firearms, but primarily by stealthily executing them. The game consists of twenty levels, called 'scenes', as well as four unlockable bonus scenes. Manhunt is a stealth game played from a third-person perspective. Gameplay An example of stealth in Manhunt Cash hides in the shadows from a hunter, preparing to sneak up on him. The game was re-released through the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 in 2013 and PlayStation 4 in 2016. While not a commercial hit, Manhunt developed a substantial cult following and was followed by a stand-alone sequel, Manhunt 2, in 2007. Manhunt was subject to a significant video game controversy due to the level of graphic violence depicted, banned in several countries, and implicated in a murder by the UK media, although this accusation was later rejected by the police and courts. The game received positive reviews from critics and won several accolades, with particular praise directed at its dark, gritty tone and violent gameplay, although the combat and level design were criticized.
