Better than all previous Hitman Games put together - 11/21/2006
The good: Fantastic Level design, great AI, DETAILED levels - so much NPC action is happening all the time...SO MANY ways to complete each level with a great gameplay experience. After the "silent assassin" ratings are all earned, it's even MORE fun to go back and choose the weapons you want…

The good: Fantastic Level design, great AI, DETAILED levels - so much NPC action is happening all the time...SO MANY ways to complete each level with a great gameplay experience. After the "silent assassin" ratings are all earned, it's even MORE fun to go back and choose the weapons you want without worrying about too many kills, and playing the missions again. Once you've played it through one way, it's INCREDIBLE to see the other options the designers have in store.
The bad: A few minor control/gameplay issues - some small issues with sneaking/fiberwire (aiming system is a little too precise), same problem with poison. You're unable to inject someone with a syringe AS they're discovering that you're armed. So if you're sneaking up and they turn around and draw their weapon, your trigger action is immediately turned into a gun disarm. This can be useful, but it makes you drop your (silent) poison. The issue popped up throughout the game and is the only noticable detractor from the experience.
The Ugly: No issues that made me say, "wow, this game could have used another few months in development," as is the case with quite a large percentage of games today.
Overall, I'm hugely impressed.
Awesome

I bought this game for me and my brother. We love it and it is way beyond what games were in the past.

Spolier dont read unless want an answer
Diana does not kill 47 she makes it look like she did, remember in the 3rd level when you make the agent look dead that what diana uses, when ur r at the end of the game she knows u will become alive and she gives you the guns but when the credits come up keep twisting the left thumb stick and u will see what happens for the real ending to occur sorry if i spoiled this for anyone i did warn u
An appreciated improvement.

I'll skip descriptions since the other reviewers have the general covered. I will say that the game is much more polished than its predecessors, with some awesome new ideas and toys. Some slightly more interesting scenarios than in the past as well. Only things I'd change as far as design is concerned is the huge life meter they give you, and the ten-minute, everything turns red while 47 falls down death scene. Mein Gott how annoying.
Some reviewers have mentioned some AI glitches. They do exist, as I encountered one in Pro difficulty. So far none have manifested in Normal. Hopefully none will. The one I encountered was an enemy chased me and broke off the pursuit as soon as I was behind him, like directly behind him. I sat there for almost two minutes wondering why he didn't react, then finally choke-wired him (he was that close). Only occurence so far, so no biggie.
If the intense nature of sneak-in-and-do-something-bad gameplay appeals to you, and you are sick and tired of hearing about San Andreas, like I am, buy this. You'll have loads of fun masquerading about in NPC's costumes, wondering why 47 walks around with black gloves on in the first place. Ever seen a normal person do that?
Great but not fantastic...

Hitman: Blood Money is a great game but not excellent. This version of Hitman is much smoother and easy to comprehend then the other two previous titles. You, Agent 47, travels around the world doing contract hits. From Columbia, to Paris, to Vegas, many interesting locations abound. As you retrieve enemy weapons you can reuse them in your next missions, rather than using the same boring silverballers and SMG over and over. There are mP5s, mP7s, desert eagles, revolvers... But unfortunately these can't be upgraded. The graphics are overwhelming. You can kill only the target or hundreds of people if you can muster up the ammunition. But there are flaws. The language of some characters is vulgar to say the least. There are plenty sexually perverted scenes among hookers, porn stars, opposing assassins, and even a FBI agent which are quite revolting. This game is also way to short with only 11 real missions which each can end in 5 to 10 minutes. The ending is crummy and leaves no "comfort" to the player and while it ensures a sequel to come it, it still isn't the perfect closer.
