Rockstar announced today that Manhunt had shipped for PC and Xbox. Manhunt is Rockstar North's gruesome take on the stealth action genre. It will be available in Europe on the 23rd.

"We are extremely excited for PC and Xbox gamers to finally experience Rockstar North's latest success," Sam Houser, President of Rockstar Games said about Manhunt. "Manhunt takes stealth gameplay beyond what anyone has ever seen and we are extremely proud to bring this superb game to a new audience."

"In addition to reaching new heights with outstanding graphic and audio achievements, we wanted to make Manhunt the ultimate stealth-action game," said Leslie Benzies, President of Rockstar North. "By turning the tables on the player, stripping them of power and making them fight for their lives with inventive play mechanics, we have succeeded in making Manhunt like nothing else out there."

In Manhunt , you are James Earl Cash, a death row inmate that has been sentenced to death by lethal injection. However, in a twist of fate, you are revived after a mock execution to the sound of your own panicked breath. Now, they are going to hunt you down in an organized blood sport where you are the prey. If you stay alive long enough, you may discover the identity of your captor. To survive his deadly game, you must run, fight and hide. Manhunt has been available on the PS2 since November 2003. The PS2 and Xbox versions retail for the suggested price of $50, while the PC version is only $40.
