According to the court, the game portrays the killing of humans as fun. They also said it glorified vigilantism, which they considered harmful. Legacy Manhunt has garnered a cult following among fans, and was cited by a Vice article in March 2016 as one of Rockstar's "very best" games. Likewise, Game Informer considered the game a "dark, underappreciated masterpiece". It was recognised as an example of the "best of gaming horror" by VentureBeat in October 2011, included in the 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die in 2010, and listed at #85 in IGNs "Top 100 PlayStation 2 Games" that same year. A sequel, Manhunt 2, was released in October 2007 in the United States and October 2008 in Europe. Although the sequel retains many of the stealth elements used in its predecessor, Manhunt 2s storyline is completely unrelated to the first game.
