    Elaborate levels and the multiple paths you can take to solve them go a long way in making you forget about the lack of narrative element.

    It wasn’t landmark on any level, but it can compete with the current PC action big boys.

    From the story angle alone Hitman: Contracts is a worthy addition to the series, and will particularly entertain fans of the franchise who’ve played both the predecessors. That said it’s certainly time for some innovation.

    If you're looking for some stealth gameplay in a sandbox environment, this is a great beginner's course into the world of Agent 47. If, however, you're expecting something as revolutionary as the multiplayer in "Pandora Tomorrow," or the high polish of "Snake Eater," this isn't for you.

    Missions are short, but the trial-and-error of finding out how to accomplish each one compensates for it.
  6. Edge Magazine
    70
    The picaresque form allows the levels to function as discreet puzzles rather than as parts of a story arc: the objective remains pure and always the same. The obstacles and methods open to you are what change, and it's in these areas that Contracts has both expanded and improved. [June 2004, p.103]

    60
    Typical sneak/shoot-'em-up action that relies too heavily on remade content and brittle gameplay. Although it was novel four years ago, games have come much farther than this.

На 2004 год движок хоть и вытягивал обилие тогдашних новомодных спецэффектов, но графика уже тогда была не самой лучшей. Отдельное спасибо разработчикам за расширенную вариативность устранения цели и доведенную до ума "шкалу подозрения". Музыка от того же Йеспера Кюда заслуживает отдельной похвалы. Интерфейс отличается от первых двух частей и очень удобен. Ввиду расширенной вариативности, перепроходить Contracts - одно удовольствие.… Expand
