Runs just peachy on the 360 as I'm sure you've found too, although I'll install it onto my trusty old chipped XBox, for that full 40 inch 5:1 surround experience. (Although I suspect the game might get a bit too intense in that format.....)
60 fps and high resolution : Of _critical_ importance.
Except, erm, for when its not?
In an ideal world I'd replay it on PC, not least 'cause I'd get to use keyboard and mouse, be able to play at a super-sharp high resolution, and get a totally solid 60FPS.
However, facts are that it doesn't run on Windows 7 so I'll play it on the next best platform, which is the XBox. (The PS2 implementation always was the shonky version of this game, but then again it was the much weaker of the two consoles in raw power terms.)
The XBox version seems to run at a fairly sharp resolution, I wouldn't peg it at 720p but it certainly looks like 480p, and because it's a slow-paced stealth-em-up the lack of 60FPS doesn't hurt anything like as much as it would in a racing game or an FPS game.
Playing with a pad definitely wouldn't be my first choice, but again, it's a slow, tactical game and I can manage alright with the pad.
I likes my pretties and I likes my PC setup, but I love the games first, the pretties second, and I'm prepared to be pragmatic about things - so I'll replay Manhunt on the old XBox and I'm sure I'll be just fine with it.
