Manhunt is a violent and controversial video game released by Rockstar Games in November 2003.
References in the Grand Theft Auto series
- In Grand Theft Auto III, another Rockstar North game, a news segment on the in-game radio station, Lips 106, reports, "in nearby Carcer City, police chief Gary Schaeffer was cleared of corruption charges. Let's hope those missing witnesses turn up safe and sound." This is an obvious allusion to a prominent character in this game, even though GTA III precedes Manhunt's release date by two years.
- An abandoned shop named Ryton Aide appears on the first mission of Manhunt. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City there is a similarly named store known as Ryton Aide. Also in GTA Vice City, Phil Cassidy lives in a trailer in a junkyard, much like one of the Skinz members, with the Interiors of both trailers having a near identical layout.
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas contains numerous references to Manhunt:
- Manhunt action figures can be found in Zero's RC shop, and also various Manhunt artwork on the walls of bar interiors, most notably a Cerberus in Ten Green Bottles.
- During the missions in which the Carl Johnson must find and photograph the blueprints to Caligula's Casino, one of the other blueprints found in another room happens to be of Starkweather's mansion.
- The Skins carjunk arena can be seen when the player drives past the rural district of Flint County towards San Fierro.
- The playable character can use a knife to perform "execution kills" similar to Manhunt. After a stealth kill, the pose of lying on the floor is same as Manhunt.
- In any bar bar interior (namely Ten Green Bottles) there is a Cerberus guard painted on the wall.
- Sprunk, featured in San Andreas as a drink players can buy for regaining health, is also featured in many levels of Manhunt.
- A bulletin board in the Las Venturas police station has photos of Cash and a Hoods member tacked to it.
- Certain radio station(s) in San Andreas mention Carcer City by name.
- Piggsy is rumored to be in San Andreas. See Myths in GTA San Andreas.
- Multiple vehicles that have appeared prior in GTA III and GTA Vice City have appeared in some form in both Manhunt games. See Wikihunt's category of vehicles for details.
