    This game is excellent,for the first 3 missions. I was having great fun sneaking about and not getting caught and suddenly I'm in a boring snowy place with loads of guards in Christmas hats.Then a boat.....its just too boring.This game might look good,but DON'T buy it.Its a waste of money and im kicking myself for getting it.

    While a load of fun, the lack of mid-mission checkpoints really kills it. Some of the missions are pretty long and to have to start all over because of one stupid mistake really ruins it. Also, the A.I. can be really dumb sometimes. Not "dumb" as in easy, but "dumb" as in "lacking intelligence". On the very first mission, I was supposed to take a crate of baking soda into a room.

Also, the A.I. can be really dumb sometimes. Not "dumb" as in easy, but "dumb" as in "lacking intelligence". On the very first mission, I was supposed to take a crate of baking soda into a room. I brought it past a guard who made sure I had the crate before I could enter the next room. I then entered the room and put the crate down. I decided to leave the room, like the guard expected me to. Then I turned around and went back in and the guard suddenly pulled out his gun asking me where the crate is. Really? I just put the crate down in the room you let me enter 30 seconds ago. Long story short, he killed me over a crate of baking soda.… Expand

    This was my first Hitman game and I very much enjoyed it. At first I had some serious trouble understanding the game mechanics but once I realized there's loads of ways to solve the missions I very much enjoyed it. What extremely bothered me though is the lack of saving options. I quite often just want to sit at a game for the remaining like half an hour but if I can't finish a missionThis was my first Hitman game and I very much enjoyed it.

    Very good game, 6.5 for me.
    It has a very funny gameplay, good graphics and performance, nice sound and there's a lack of a plot, as well as any other Hitman game, but it's not important, because a game like Hitman doesn't need it. A game should make you get FUN, should make you PLAY, should be COMPETITIVE, it shouldn't be a movie. Now, SHs are thinking only to make a good plot and    Very good game, 6.5 for me.

Now, SHs are thinking only to make a good plot and graphics, so they're missing the point of gaming: playing and having fun. For example, look the new Hitman (Absolution): they've added a story, cool graphics, etc. but the game itself isn't so funny and good.
    I'm happy that HITMAN: BLOOD MONEY has came out.    … Expand

    La saga Hitman es una de mis preferidas y este juego creo que ajusta mejor la curva de dificultad comparado con el resto de la saga. Sin duda uno de los grandes juegos de infiltración. Compra bastante recomendable en oferta.

    Проходил пару лет назад и не помню ничего, кроме концовки. Ну, может еще интересную миссию со снайперской винтовкой.

    Hitman: Blood Money - ''The Best Old'school Hitman?''

    I was most intrigued by the hitman’s story itself and its different gameplay. The game itself has changed greatly since the other hitman, is more camera compressed than expanded. The game itself is no longer as difficult as other old hitman in a much better tuned game and less buggy. What’s really cool is that over the hitman has really increased more innovation like logic and weapon upgrades. But according to me, where the mistake is that there is a lack of hitman interest in the level as in older hitman games there were some different themes and much more interesting. And during a hitman it seems your goal is just to kill the target and have to come up with ways to discover ways to no longer have that different view as before. In general, I didn't like the camera very much because it's very compressed, and you don't see it wider.

    So in my opinion, Hitman: Blood Money has an impressive story and gameplay, but the bottom line is that it’s gone to that level of interest and is a bit buggy, but little. The camera itself is not very impressive, so compressed, and you do not see more objective. I would dedicate myself to this game 7/10.    … Expand

    Finally a decent working hitman game. It is more modern and controls are better.

Hitman is very creative and original game and requires you to be resourceful. You can complete mission in the very different ways and this is satisfying. Level design adds to diversity, new mission - totally new atmosphere that is convincing every time. Although its easy to get lost, because of the same doors', walls', people's textures. Of course graphics old traits are obvious - sometimes ugly textures, repeating character's skins on every step, etc. The AI is terrible: sometimes they see through walls, they run away and call the police when you take a knife being disguised as a cook, and yada-yada-yada, everyone can relate to this. The shooting mechanic isn't good and you can't really just have fun by shooting everyone because you'll easily die: no medkits, no regeneration, no covers mechanics and big recoil kills this game as a shooter. About the story, I've never understanded why hitman is earning money, what for if he lives one and half a year, if I'm not mistaken? And why Diana, his job informer, has a somewhat sentimental connection with him like they're friends, If he is cruel obsessed with money killing machine that could kill Diana for money easily? The clone war scenario that comes up in game is likable to me, its quite interesting. The last thing but not the least, the soundtrack - its marvelous, from the main theme "Ave Maria" to my favourite red bar soundtrack in bird's mission… Expand

    There's so much to do and see in this game, so many possibilities. It suits the careful player, but caters for the psychopath in you as well. You simply won't find a better executed execution game. [June 2006, p.86]

    With Eidos' latest foray into professional assassination, players will have to dig deep, wading through mission after mission of trial-and-error gameplay to hunt down a series of targets. [June 2006, p.49]

    While there's a lot to love about this series, and this entry in particular, Agent 47's world still foesn't offer the subtlety necessary for this great premise to really be satisfying. [June 2006, p.110]
