 Manhunt is a stealth @-@ based psychological horror game played from a third @-@ person perspective . The game consists of twenty levels , called " scenes " , as well as four unlockable bonus scenes . Players survive the scenes by dispatching enemy gang members , occasionally with firearms , but primarily by stealthily executing them . At the end of each scene , players are graded based on their performance , and awarded one to five stars . Unlockable content becomes available only when the player achieves three or more stars on a certain number of levels . 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 . On hard difficulty ( called " Hardcore " ) , players are graded out of five stars ; one for speed , one to three for brutality and one for simply completing the scene . 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 .
