Manhunt: Footage Captured on CCTV

At least, that's what it seems like from this latest 'viral' footage. Take a look, it's gonna be a big one.

Rockstar Games has released some viral footage of its forthcoming release, Manhunt. The famed developer and publisher behind the phenomenally successful Grand Theft Auto series seems to be onto a winner with its latest third person action title, which is released in a couple of weeks on November 18 (US) and November 19 (UK).

While not as sophisticated as its best-selling brethren, Manhunt offers deep and involving gameplay in a kill-or-be-killed environment, requiring a considerable degree of tactical and strategic play. There's an intriguing story that unfolds almost entirely during night-time and twilight hours.

America is full of run down, broken rust-belt towns where nobody cares and anything goes. In Carcer City, nothing matters anymore and all that's left are cheap thrills. The ultimate rush is the power to grant life and take it away, for sport. This time James Earl Cash, you are the sport. They gave you your life back. Now, they are going to hunt you down.

You awake to the sound of your own panicked breath. You must run, hide and fight to survive. If you can stay alive long enough, you may find out who did this to you.

The level of violence, gore and mature subject matter in the game cannot be understated... but really, what did you expect from Rockstar North? Manhunt will also be commended for its high quality graphics and sound, with a gritty and realistic visual style, solid and distinctive character models and texturing, along with DPL2-supported atmospheric sound effects.

Stay tuned for more on Manhunt, which we'll be reviewing as soon as we get our hands on the final version.
