Hitman: Blood Money Description

Hitman: Blood Money places gamers once again in the role of the world's greatest assassin, Agent 47. When assassins from Agent 47's contract killing firm The ICA are offed in a series of hits, it seems as though a more powerful agency has entered the fray. In an attempt to avoid the mortuary slab, Agent 47 travels to America - visiting and making money in places like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New Orleans and Mississippi. Hitman: Blood Money has been made even more realistic since Agent 47's last outing, with the whole new Glacier Game Engine. Agent 47 has a number of new features, including the ability to dispose of bodies in boxes and enclosed spaces, as well as making hits look like accidents, such as dropping a chandelier on a target's head or using a remote bomb. Hitman: Blood Money also has a redesigned NPC and AI system. Gamers can use the cash raised from hits to bribe the press or to customise and upgrade weapons to suit their individual style of assassination. Even if you are new to the Hitman series, don't worry, because the game offers a new rookie mode, as well as various levels of difficulty, that will give players all the training needed to be a successful contract killer.

This game is excellent. It has a weapon progression and upgrade facility, and is far better than any other in the Hitman series. It is ideally a sneaky game, focused on killing slowly one-by-one in unusual ways - yet if you wish to you could just run along and mow down everything in sight - you just wouldnt be rated very highly for it.

A brillient game and the best Hitman yet. What really makes Blood money the best is that you can be as creative as you want to take out your target with: dropping a piano on them, pushing them into a shark aquarium, poisoning your targets cake before he eats it, the possibilites are endless so this is deffinetly worth it to buy.

WOW! Gaming gentry in the form of #47 returns! This is the epitomy of comprehensive gaming. Ranging from the third person sneaky-sneaky of Splinter Cell and MGS, to the all out first-person carnage of Halo and CoD. So many ways to complete each mission, and such insentive to get that Silent Assassin rating. I HAD to do every level repeatedly until I did it perfectly. Not many games can boast that sort of pulling power. Is there anything better than making your way to the exit, only you knowing that there are two bodies in a container somewhere in the basement? The graphics are far from 7th generation, but who cares when everything else is so right?

Hitman is a game that successfully mixes tactical espionage and stealth with an underlying face of fast-paced and exciting gameplay. The only things that will probably soak up all that fun is all the waiting and replaying you will most probably do. It?s this combination that gives you a brilliant experience whilst playing as Agent 47 and it?s probably about time someone did because 47 just never seems to show it himself.

This game really shouldnt be in the "shooter" section, well, if you play it well it shouldnt. This is a great game with alot of thinking and skill needed to progress sucessfully. The graphics are smooth although not completely "next gen" but still good. Great game to rent, or even buy.

If you like being sneaky, this is for you! Takes a wjile to get used to the controls however! Caution.... this is NOT a "run and gun" game!

Hitman is easily one of the most fun games ever and one of the new features is making the deaths look like accidents brilliant. The new game from IOinteractive looks awesome aswell (Kain & Lynch). The replay value is threw the roof trying to figure out all the ways to kill your marks is fun a open ended game in the best sense of the words.
