What our customer's say!
"AMAZING", This game is amazing, all of the missions are very interesting and you can wander around wherever and kill your target however you want to! GREAT GAME!
"Great game- can keep you occupied for hours!", I know it seems kind of hokey, the graphics are kind of lame compared to today's stuff but there's something about this game that's just a lot of fun. Maybe because you can either sneak around and be a pro or just be a crazed lunatic and take everyone and everything out in your path. Either way, it's fun and you'll love it.
"Excellent game for the price.", This is an excellent game for the money. If you like Splinter Cell and games like it, then you will like this game. Of course, this game is not perfect, but few games are. The XBOX 360 version of the game is probably the one you want. The XBOX 360 achievements, as with most games, give it some additional replay value which is nice.
"Great fun with a story that doesn't interfere", I had a lot of fun playing this game. It's improved over the original Hitman game since you can now purchase upgrades to your equipment. Gameplay is really well designed without the crazy camera angles. Agent 47 is easy to control and navigate through obstacles. The only problem I had with him was when trying to use the scope on his rifle. But this ia very minor problem and is easy enough to deal with once you are used to it. The fiber wire is a bit difficult to use (as it should be), but overall, the controls are quite manageable. The story of the game is easy to follow and doesn't interfere with the game enjoyment at all. I think it actually enhances the game, especially near the end. I don't want to give anything away, but if you pay attention to the mission objectives you should enjoy the plot. THe soundtrack is also great and enhances the game. Missions are not too complex. Some of them are pretty straightforward, but some contain multi-layered and optional side objectives. AI is pretty well done since NPCs don't always follow the same pattern. It could be better though. Some NPCs are just plain stupid. I.E. When a bodyguard searches you and you are dressed as a waiter, as long as you surrender your weapons he will let you pass. If I were a bodyguard, I think I would have to question why a waiter would need a pair of silenced silver ballers and a sub-machine gun. I have yet to play the game on the harder levels, so this may just be a rookie feature. Overall, this is a fun game and has replay value to try to get a better rating on each mission. I like to replay it on each difficulty level util I've mastered the game and it hasn't gotten boring at all so far. This is a great addition to any XBox 360 game library.
"A Nearly Perfect Masterpiece", A Nearly Perfect Masterpiece This game is like 2 games in one. In one game you sneak around undetected. You change outfits to blend in and you slowly patiently track down and stealthily kill your targets. In the other game you go on a maniacal rampage killing everyone in sight! For that reason, and the fact that there are many possible ways to complete your hits, this game is extremely fun and has very high replay-ability.
The music in this game is excellent! Ave Maria at the beginning and throughout makes a wonderful contrast to bloody evil deeds that Agent 47 carries out. Jesper Kyd is an excellent composer and his music fits perfectly with the game.
The controls are tight. The camera system works very well. Weapon upgrades are an excellent touch. Hitman has a great linear story. Since when did linear become such a bad thing? My only complaint is the lack of variety in character models. There's an athletic character and fat character for both male and female. Between these 4 body types there seems to be only 1 face for each body type. Eye color and clothing changes, but other than that everyone's the same. This is the ONLY thing keeping this game from being a Perfect Masterpiece.
Once you reach the end I'm sure you'll agree this is a satisfying, complete, well though out video game.
You might need this...
Read this reviews before You buy...
"Hitman", When i first saw this game i had very high hopes that it would be somewhat of a GTA-esque game. With free roam and such. But it isnt and anyone looking for soemthing like that should know this. But suprisingly it is still a very fun game. The different ways to fight are cool and while it is like Splinter Cell it is also different. You are not forced to kill using covert methods and guns are easily accesable. This makes the game easier yet less exciting. You should get this game if you like splinter cell games.
"AWESOME", I've seen Hitman games on PS2 at the store, and never bought them because the seller kept telling me it was a first person shooter game, which I hate so I never got interested in them. Until I read a couple of reviews of the game, and also a description that said "first and 3rd person" so I said, WOW I must try this out. So when I got my 360 I order this game, I've had it for a week now, and I'm up to level 10 already (playing only during the weekend muheehehehe) is in rookie though but it is AWESOME, I love the killing muhahahahahaha. I've found some very good strategy guides online, and I've also found ways to finish up levels without following suggestions. All in all, if you like strategy games and like killing people (virtually of course) go for it!!! Dough I would like to see an online update for this, like be able to play online, missions that start at the same time where you have to do the hit first than your counterpart. LOL
"Agent 47 is back, and thatsa good thing.", Agent 47 is back in Blood Money, and like always, he is contracted to assassinate certain people for a variety of reasons. However, as the story progresses, 47's contract firm called The Agency is being killed one by one by a rival firm. So, if you couldn't guess, the last few missions revolve around unveiling and taking down this rouge group.
Your main arsenal consists of a variety of customizable guns such as a handgun, shotgun, sniper rifle, SMG, and assault rifle which, like I said, can be customized by the money you earn throughout your missions. You can also pick up enemy guns and tools laying around and add that to your inventory if you wish. Besides the typical guns, you get to use 47's trusty fiber wire for strangling people, sedatives, poisions, remote mines and other nifty gadgets. You can also do some hand to hand which includes punching and headbutting your victims. Oh, and you can climb things and hop railings.
In the spirit of the Hitman series, after you knock out/kill just about anyone, you can steal their uniforms. Most of the time you'll need a certain disguise to get close to one of your targets. So for instance lets say you have to get close to a secured wedding and the grrom, first you would need an invitation then from there kill a high ranking guard and take his outfit while disposing of his body. Disposing their bodies can include throwing them off a rail and out of sight, or hiding them in a dumpster of sorts.
Now you would think with all these options you are basically forced to be stealthy. Think again. In Blood Money, IO Interactive decided to take a different approach and allow you to determine how to snag your targets in your own way.. be it sneak up and poision a cake so you kill them indirectly, or walk right up to them and plant a slug between their eyes. Its completley up to you, the only thing you have to worry about is armed security personell that will attack you.
Which brings me to the next part of the review. There is a "suspiscion meter" in which people will see through your disguises. If your in the green, your okay, in the yellow your treading thin ice, and if your in the red... well then your probably not playing too stealthy anyway and enemies are firing upon you. What dissapointed me a little about this is the fact that it seems if you even breathe wrong the AI gets suspiscious.
There aren't many flaws to be honest with the exception of the one I just mentioned. Actually I lied, there is one really annoying one and that is the save system. You have your actual saved game, then you have in-game saves which saves your progress in that particular mission. If you were to turn off the system or in some other way quit that mission, then your in-game is erased and you have to start that mission from scratch. Besides those two, the game runs really good...
The graphics are pretty good for a multiplatform game. The enviroments look crisp and each character has their own identity, but there is one flaw. Why is everyone jacked out of their minds? I mean I killed a clown and stole his outfit to find out that he had harder abs then I do in real life... ITS A CLOWN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Haha, but yeah the graphics are pretty solid though certainly not the best the 360 can offer.
The soundtrack is brilliant. Its mainly just classical music with some chorus chimes thrown in for good measure. It actually helps create mood and atmosphere for your entertainment. The guns sound appropriate (ex: handguns sound like handguns) but they sound far too weak. The Desert Eagle, a very powerful magnum, sounds like a 9mm which enraged me.
The ending was ultimatley satisfying. Agent 47 is backstabbed by a woman named Diana (she was the lady who gives you all of your mission briefings on the laptop), and it is revealed that she is working for The Franchise - otherwise known as the "other rival agency". Anyway, skip ahead a bit and you see 47 laying on a bed of sorts about to be lowered into the ground when Diana comes and lays two Silverballer handguns on your chest and kiss you. She then turns and begins talking to the head of The Franchise. As the credits roll, a heartbeat is repeated and it appears 47 is about to wake up and basically millhouse The Franchise, so what must you do? If you swirl the analog stick a few times Agent 47 wakes up and begins wiping the floor with everyone around him. It was great.
Overall, Hitman: Blood Money was a surprisingly fun game with alot of violent thrills and spills. I highly recommend it, though it would have been kind of cool if there was some sort of multiplayer on it... imagine a bunch of cloned 47's working together to pull of a HUGE assasination.. maybe even against The Franchise..hm.. anyway, buy this game if you haven't played it.
""Hey, stop there!"", This game cracks me up!!! I love the reactions of the innocent people when they notice that you are trying to "sneak" up on them to kill them!!!
"Hitman" is a definite purchase for any gamer in the fan club of titles such as" "Tenchu", "Grand Theft Auto" or "Medal of Honor". The basic shooring style is the same in this as these other games and most of the controls have a similiar feel. WHat makes this game so great is that you have a lot of freedom to complete you missions in the way you want to do so. Basically, your only instructions are your objectives. It is up to you to figure out how you want to accomplish them.
This game has VERY smooth controls and really is a lot of fun to play!
Highly recommended!
"Excellent-But I have One Major Problem With It", I have been playing the "hitman" games since the original PC versions, and once I switched my gaming to consoles, have played "contracts" on PS2, and now "Blood Money" on the 360. This game is a great evolution of the series, keeping a lot of the good points (you have the choice of completing the level how you wish) fixing some of the problems, (interface and inventory use), and giving us all new levels to explore and do killing on. I have only ONE complaint, which I will get to in a bit.
I know this might sound bad, but I really love killing games. They provide a great stress relief, from those days that are just so tough to get through, But be assured, I don't go roaming with my real pistol or get in my real car and try to mow people down, etc. My (fun) violence is on the TV screen only :0)
With that said, my favorite part of the hitman games is still present, i.e. the ability to choose how to complete the "contract." There are multiple ways to accomplish each kill. You can carefully sneak around for hours in real time, hiding from gaurds, slipping into where the target is when he/she is alone, poisoning a drink, strangling from behind, or, just shoot them in the face and run like hell. It's all up to you--what I usually do is sneak through the level first, to see where everyone is, then, once it's finished, play through a second time killing everybody in sight, for the "mass murderer" label, hehe. But you have to be careful, "run and gun" in the wrong spot and you WILL be killed, and one thing that gets old is the slow motion dying scene, but oh, well.
As far as a minor complaint, the "newspaper" at the end of levels is cool, but agraviting to a point; it shows what you supposedly did on the mission such as "Tycoon killed at compound; police looking for leads," etc. One thing I don't like is the paper is repetitive, including publishing things that didn't happen, for example on every mission it says something like "and 3 people were shot in the head, making authorities concerned about the viciousness of the attack," but on one level i did absoluste stealth, ONLY killed the mark, did not harm anyone else, and didn't fire a shot! Oy! So who shot those three people in the head?
Next, the only big complaint I have this time around is the save system. The way it works is, you are able to have in game saves (except for the most difficult level), for example on "normal" i think you can have six saves, anywhere you choose, BUT, the saves are in MEMORY, not to disc, so if you quit before the level is finished the saves are lost and you have to play the level from the start again. Argggghhhh! If the level is finished, it's added to the main menu to give you the choice of playing it again, and your game auto save continues from that point. I miss the way it worked in "silent assasin" where, the saves were to disc, and you could return to them whenever you wished. But, oh well.....
In short I would recommend this game. If you have played hitman before you will really like it, if you are new to the series, it's probably the best one to start with.
