    Blood Money is the best Hitman game in the original series. It has some fresh ideas and the missions are just pure fun. I played this game for hours, just to get all the cool endings. Overall rating: 9.0.

    Did you know that Hitman: Blood Money, called simply Blood Money had sold more than 2.1 million copies? Did you know that, Christie?

    It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great missions, but "Curtains Down" is one of the best, most incredible missions ever made. In this mission, you can kill a tenor opera singer called Alvaro D'Alvade in so many ways and it is so fun.

    Blood money is a bug fix for the third part.

    This is the same classic hitman, but with very cool graphics and new mechanics.

    In the fourth part, it seems that all the coolest hitman chips have been maximized.

    Всё же это действительно апогей серии хитман, да и самого жанра социального стелса, за который хитман всеми любим. Разработчики полностью отказались помещать игрока в какие либо рамки да и в общем сделали упор не на количество, а на качество.

    СЮЖЕТ - наверное самый интересный относительно прошлых частей, довольно не тривиальный и со своими неожиданными твистами, да и в целом лор был сильно расширен. Множество кат-сцен, большое количество интересных персонажей, написали всем целям биографию которую можно почитать перед началом задания! А после каждой миссии нам преподносят газету с информацией, в которой игра описывает и оценивает последние события связанные с миссией 47го и общие сведения о происходящем в мире. Была низкая меткость? Будь готов что журналисты охарактеризуют тебя неумелым стрелком, ну или наоборот - профессионалом. Убивал всех подряд? Будь готов получить характерное прозвище, например сумасшедший или маньяк, а далее: количество жертв/раненных, как происходили убийства, какое у тебя было любимое оружие, размышления о том кто же может быть убийцей! Помимо статьи о себе, по краям газеты можно почитать общие новости о последних событиях в мире, с которыми потом лично можно столкнуться уже в процессе игры. Появились новости о будущей Опере? - Скоро ты там лично окажешься с заказом на содомитов-педофилов выступающей в ней. Выполнил заказ одной женщины по убийству её суженного - после можно будет почитать новость о резко разбогатевшей вдове, разбрасывающейся деньгами в казино Лас-Вегаса, в котором тебе тоже предстоит оказаться в будущем :).

    ГЕЙМПЛЕЙ - всего в игре 13 миссий, но как я и сказал выше, упор был на качество. Эти 13 миссий имеют большую, вариативную, открытую локацию, количеством вариантов убийства blood money может только похвастаться. Перед заданием игра предлагает выбрать снаряжение, вариантов базового оружия всего 5+мелочи по типу ядов и тд, но все они имеют большое количество возможностей улучшений: прицелы, приклады, глушители и до кучи всего прочего. Так же есть возможность пополнять снаряжение оружием которое ты находишь на самих локациях во время игры, они сохраняются и ты можешь использовать понравившиеся в будущем. Количеством возможных маскировок игра тоже не обделена. Так же была сделана система свидетелей, если ты неумелый стелсер, будь готов что со временем в газете будут пытаться составить твой портрет, а твоя известность ещё откликнется во время игры в виде рандомного чела который может совершенно неожиданно узнать тебя).

    Отдельно хочу отметить замечательную графику и восхитительный саунд.    … Expand

    The game doesnt have the dark tone that contracts had but it has a different atmoshpere, it feels less like a murderer among other murderers and more of the assassin style. Norman people seem ignorant not paying attention to you while guards seem more on alert, looking around searching you is a few of the things they do and the amazing AI adds many things into this while Agent 47 has the dark emotionless face at its perfection and the voice acting is really improved from the previous ones.    … Expand

    Great gameplay idea, that you dont find very often. And there are a lot of possibilities to come to your target and kill them. It could be even fun to play some missions again, just to find out some new ways or try some funny clothes.

    But on the other side, every mission is more or less the same: observe the patterns, kill people from behind, get other clothes.
    Another bad thing is, that the targets behaviours are not realistic: They move only from one spot to the other or showing you their back already. In addition it is not realistic, if you are standing all the time at one point to observe the patterns of the people and security guys dont react at you.    … Expand

This was arguably the series peak before the polarizing B movie style of Absolution and the episodic but brilliant Hitman 2017. Blood Money still stands up against any of the games that followed it despite now being over a decade old.

    They finally got everything just about perfect in this game. Graphically for its time it was impressive and the visual style and presentation has really stood the test of time and perhaps even improved with age. Some of the best video game levels I've ever experienced are in this one game; The Tosca Theatre level "Curtains Down", the brilliant suburbs of McMansions in "A New Life", the serpentine hallways of the mansion in "You Better Watch Out". On and on I could go, there wasn't really a weak level in the game and at its best I'd consider it amongst the finest level design ever put into a video game.

    The replay value is such that probably at least once a year I will load this up on steam and play it through start to finish. The xbox version has a very unfortunate issue where it cannot be played via HDMI cable due to some issue with the now arcane 50/60 HZ display options. To simplify matters you basically cannot play Blood Money on a HDTV without a specific adapter. So invariably it falls to my steam copy of it but it's telling that I liked this game enough I bought it for PS2 (at launch), Xbox 360 (until I got a TV made after 2009) and Steam (£3 in a sale, worth 10 times that).

    The levels beg to be explored, accidents can befall your targets in a variety of unique and interesting way and the feeling of finishing with the top ranking of Silent Assassin on a level is up there with Dark Souls in terms of satisfaction. Add in weapon upgrades and a cash payment system that ranks your performance on missions and there is plenty to do.

    I think I'm most impressed by how well this game holds up even now when it has a AAA follow up utilizing far more power hardware to run and create it. For it's time the levels are huge and so much is happening in them for you to learn and exploit. The storyline is the series strongest by far and is always brilliant in the way it ebbs and flows to a grand finale. The sound design is iconic to me, the blaring horns that start Tosca booming around the opera theatre, the sound of the waterfalls off the side of the vineyard, the pouring rain during the White House level and of course Ave Maria playing over the brilliant title screen (a shot of your own funeral that gets more populated with each target you kill as you progress). It is all phenomenally put together

    Controls are remarkably smooth and crisp and just engross you in the game. You learn to rely on scouting the area and making your move at the right moment but if it comes to gun play then it reveals itself to be suitably smooth to target and satisfyingly visceral to pull the trigger.

    I can think of few games over the years that I have consistently come back to, time and time again and always had as much fun as the first time I played them. In these terms this games stands up there with Final Fantasy 7, Super Mario 64, GTA 5 and a few rare others that are just such masterpieces of game design they seemingly never age.

    The series took a sharp downward turn with Absolution and whilst it wasn't for everybody it was at it's heart still a solid Hitman game. It took them over a decade to get back near the level of what this game achieved with far less and I've never really played a 3rd person stealth game that gets it as right as this one does, perhaps aspects of MGS V, even the newest iteration seems to hold your hand a little bit too much.

    Blood Money gave its player a lot of credit for being intelligent and thinking outside the box and rewards you for such a play style unlike any other game. When you are capable of playing Blood Money well, when you know the ins and outs perfectly you all but feel like the professional assassin Agent 47 is. If you should see this on a steam sale and you just never gave it a chance then please do because you truly do not know what you are missing; one of the greatest video games ever made.    … Expand

    Aside from minor frame stutter that was eliminated by making a simple adjustment in the launcher (enabling SLI even though I don't run an SLI setup), this game is the definition of perfect. The best stealth game you will ever play. There is nothing else to say.

    Many good strategies. But things just takes too slow. Graphics are very old and bad. This game is just too unrealistic.This character will be too suspicious. I like the rampage.

It's relatively easy to beat the game, but the fun comes from experimenting and figuring out just the many, many ways of finishing each mission, and working towards perfection in your final rating. It's not just a question of stealth versus frontal assault, it's poison versus bomb, sniper rifle versus falling chandelier, rigged fireworks versus chloroformed panties.

    It's got a dark, noiry style without the grindhouse cheese of Absolution, taking itself seriously even while it lets you do ridiculous things. Even now, having played through more than once, I find myself wanting to go back to try to screw around and finish the missions in new ways or perfect my old plans. I sincerely hope the new Hitman game can even come close to capturing the fun to be had here.    … Expand

    I didn't play this game the first time around, but I was blown away by it in 2015 (running the vanilla game, not sure if there are many mods/improvements).

The graphics looked extremely clean for a game this old, the music is incredible... not in an earworm way, but in terms of how it fits the mood of the game.

    The gameplay is classic stealth, with an emphasis on stealth. I suppose you can beat most levels with guns blazing but the real fun is in sneaking your way through and killing your targets without anyone noticing. The gameplay is so deep, you can (and are usually encouraged to) spend a ton of time wandering the levels noticing tiny little things you can exploit to accomplish your objectives stealthily. This is definitely a thinking person's game, especially if you resist the urge to check a walkthrough.

    Unfortunately the game doesn't strongly encourage super-stealthy play. Sure if you go around guns blazing you'll generally fail, but you can shoot your way out of a messy ending in a lot of levels and not suffer much. The rewards for a very stealthy "silent assassin" performance are mostly that you feel like a badass... you do get more money but money is not very useful in this game. That was really the only real blemish I could find in this game. The story is somewhat weak and plodding, but it's not awful and I didn't find myself skipping any cut scenes.

    I loved the ambiance and level design, along with the gameplay they were my favorite part. You go do your dubious deeds in so many cool places... a shady South American winery, a posh ski mansion, a decadent skyscraper party, and well, any more might be a spoiler. It all looks realistic and cool as hell, it really immersed me in the experience the way good design should.

    I beat the game a week ago and after some reflection, this is one of the best games I've ever played. It's that good.    … Expand

    The original hitman idea ("Codename 47", "Silent Assassin" and "Contracts") was all about trying not to kill anyone but your targets and as silently as possible while this game, offering you extremely cheap progress solutions involving killing and/or sedating people, encourages you not to go for SA. I'm not saying there is no "silent assassin" in there, because, well, there is and being able to kill with SA grade is usually quite fun but the game discourages to do that.
    Another thing I missed on my hits was planning. Being able to see blueprints BEFORE starting the mission (as in "Hitman 2: Silent Assassin") you could plan your hits, taking appropriate weapons, checking escape routes and fixing the map on your head being able to move much better during the hit. On "Hitman: Blood Money" you blindly step into your mission without any kind of knowledge (on mission start you can buy hints... another quite dumb thing in my opinion).

    This "new" 47 can be seen on cutscenes/plot too (killing witnesses and actually having them in the first place, not being 1 step ahead his enemies, etc). Plot then was far better in "Hitman 2: Silent Assassin", far better.

    On the technical compartment, audio and video are good, surprisingly good actually, I enjoyed both visuals (often stopped during a mission to look at the environment) and audio. Controls are quite good too once you get used to the changes from previous 2 installments (action button split in 3 different action buttons).

    In the end I'd say this game was definitely fun and well made but not enough to beat the enjoyment that "Hitman 2: Silent Assassin" gave me back then.    … Expand

    Blood Money is THE classic stealth game. Polished masterpiece it isn't - it's hilariously bad in a lot of ways, the animations and ragdolls, the voice acting and models, but all that is rendered irrelevant. This has near infinite replayability, going through a level a thousand different ways, changing what you do only slightly. You owe it to yourself to play this atleast once, you won't be sorry.

    The A.I isn't too great or awfully bad, for example, sometimes they will start to attack you for no reason.

    One thing that i find unique about Blood Money (or maybe in any Hitman game), is the variety of ways you can take out your target. You can make it look like an accident, a cold gun battle or silent takedowns with the fiber wire.

    To end it off, it feels solid and maybe the best in the franchise. Titles in the series before Blood Money felt bitter and awful to me, so please start off with this game if you plan on buying.

The game is disguisely flawed, that is, you can't make out the flaw superficially. One has to go great depths of the game to find out those tiny little flaws. In general, it is like a pizza. You look at it and it seems perfect. Taste is, good enough. But actually eating piece by piece, you might find 1 or 2 flaws, like less cheese, or overcooked vegetable or meat.

You can stroll along in a disguise, or sneak around in a suit. The AI will react in a believable manner either way. What really makes this game great is you can wreak havoc in these locations however the hell you want. Feel like taking a silenced M4 with a drum magazine and unloading on unsuspecting victims through a wooden door? You can. Bring no guns and just push people over railings. Drop an item on the ground and lure them over if you have to. Kill only your target, or kill everybody on the map with a kitchen knife. Speaking of melee weapons, there's a ton ranging from screwdrivers to fire extinguishers and each has its own hilarious animation. Hell, even the ragdoll effect when you shoot somebody is funny in a good way. NPC's run away, scream, and plead for their lives on their knees. Just awesome. Anybody who can appreciate dark humor already owns this game and this review is a waste of time, but since I have an account I want to help raise the score of this masterpiece.

But ignoring that, it's one hell of a ride.

    I think what I enjoy most about Hitman: Blood Money, is the fact that it makes you FEEL like an assassin. Like a highly professional HITMAN. Every mission is unique and will keep you occupied for quite some time while you wander around in the area, thinking how you should kill your target. It's like being Sherlock Holmes, that is, if Sherlock Holmes was a homicidal brute.

    Music is great, exactly what you would expect from Jesper Kyd. Have to say, that opening with the raven sitting on a dead tree with Ave Maria playing in the background sucked me right into the game.

    Others may say that you have the choice of going in guns blazing, or being a silent sneaky murderer. Well, I have to say that's not quite true. When Eidos made Blood Money, I think they expected everyone to go in as a silent assassin and not shooting everything that moves. Trying to go into an area just roughing stuff up will prove quite difficult and will definitely kill you on the first 8 tries.

    Anyway, no matter how you twist it, Hitman: Blood Money is perhaps one of the most well-crafted video games ever and if you like stealth-based games, this one will be a 10/10 for you.    … Expand

    I played this game a few years back, beaten it multiple times on different difficulties to get the ranks on the levels, that was on my PS2 but now i'm back for more with the PC version, yes, I didn't want to own the same game in 2 platforms before. I'm making an exception with this one, and it's definitely worth it.

    Loved this game! Especially by comparison with Assassin's Creed - this is far better! I mean, common, just look at the variety of missions (not gonna spoil all the fun) as compared with Assassin Creed's boring one-liners!

    I think this game is the best hitman game to date because it added many innovations to the series like the accidents and the ability to buy weapon upgrades. It has a very good story but not as good as Hitman 2 Silent Assassin which in my opinion had the best story in the whole series.The graphics are good and the AI is one of the best AIs.

    This game never gets old. It's fun to take out your targets whether its running in there and using your weapons, environment etc. There's a lot of ways to do it.

    Highly highly recommend this game! It really is an improvement on the previous titles, the sheer number of ways to carry out your goals is brilliant, the locations seem realistic and lively and the backstories and settings for your target add wonderful fluff to the game.

The 'infamy meter' is also a fantastic addition to the gameplay, giving a sense of continuity to the missions and possible penalties for messing up a mission can bite you on the ass really is well done. The way the ranged weaponry is done could be improved however but if you're intending to go through running and gunning I think you're doing it wrong. So perhaps it is meant to deter you from doing that.
    Great game, get it.    … Expand

    The best stealth game I have ever played. The graphics are still pretty great, even 5 years on. Makes all other Hitman games obsolete. I also love how many different ways there are to complete each mission, and how it's possible to complete the game without firing a single shot. There's no better feeling in a game than killing your targets by making them all look like accidents, andThe best stealth game I have ever played.

There's no better feeling in a game than killing your targets by making them all look like accidents, and walking back out past security as though you were never there. The level of weapon customization is also pretty impressive, you can upgrade guns more than you can in CoD games. My only criticisms would be towards the quality of some of the character's faces (the game's also a few years old now, so that's understandable). I also found the main story to be not very compelling and weird, and above all, unnecessary. I mean, it's called Hitman, you don't really need more of an explanation for why you're doing the stuff you're doing. I also did find occasional errors where I would be detected even where there's no logical reason for it happening, and civilians being credited as witnesses, even though there were none. But again, these are just minor flaws in a pretty impressive package. If you even mildly liked the other Hitman games, you will LOVE this.… Expand

Every time I play this game i find a new way to complete the objective or paths to take that it feels fresh. Great mechanics, great music, great environment, each level being completely different. Though of course it is not perfect. The NPC are not the smartest in the world and though the character models look good seems like they had only one male and one female model for the whole game. They just added new skins. Last thing I can complain about it is the controls, a bit of a learning curve.… Expand

    This game is excellent if you can overpass the grafical bugs, the CTD's and other problem... But once you're in game it's very fun and every move that you make can change the whole senario so you need to think before you move and I have yet to see that in other games, except Splinter-Cell.

    I have played every Hitman scenario released so far and it's one of my favorite games. I discovered it as a bundle, got hooked and then I bought the expansion and follow-up. The only slight downside is the graphics, it's good (considering the years of release) but not great. I hope a future release of the series will have the same great game with some updated graphics engine.

For those of you with an open mind and a little background in the Hitman series, there's plenty of replay value. You can keep going back to try a different way to accomplish a mission. There are 2 major ways to accomplish a mission: A sneaky, your-own-way sort of approach, and then there's the cool way: For example, in one level, few players realize this, but the huge chandelier above the theater can be "detached" from it's winch. A carefully timed explosion at the top can cause the chandelier to crush your target, leaving minimal evidence behind. Try it sometime!… 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]
