The good and the bad - Manhunter Edition.

[Tawmis]

Every game has something good and something bad about it...

So what would you say is good AND bad about the following...

Manhunter 1 -
Manhunter 2 -

Again, one of the few to have played this so...

Manhunter 1:
GOOD: They did an impressive job making everything dark and dreary, especially with the limitations of AGI graphics.
BAD: The flying saucer scene at the end. It's a pain to maneuver and it's not obvious what targets you are supposed to bomb.

Manhunter 2:
GOOD: Ups the creepiness factor with the mutants.
BAD: I've mentioned this a bunch of times: the fact that you have to die twice in Day 1 in order to end the day.

May be just you and I.

I think something I loved is how things in the game were references to other things. The arcade game, for example you play, is the maze you enter later.

However, the bad would be - the mine field. That one, despite knowing what I needed to do - I could not figure out the movements, and as seen in my playthrough - it's always been luck and chance that gets me through the mine field.

Manhunter 2:
GOOD: Ups the creepiness factor with the mutants.
BAD: I've mentioned this a bunch of times: the fact that you have to die twice in Day 1 in order to end the day.

The bad, you're right - I'd also add that it ends with a cliff hanger, with a clear intention of a third that never came out.

If I knew how to program - I'd honestly create a Manhunter 3 fan game to wrap up the game.
