Welcome addition to the Hitman series

I've been playing the Hitman games on PC since the very first one, and I must admit this one really is great, with some minor elements.
On the plus side: good graphics, great sounds, great atmosphere, good story, multiple ways to complete each level, improved enemy AI, more actions Mr. 47 can execute, lots of hidden humor.
On the minus side: The levels are smaller, but more packed, and fans of Silent Assassin will feel a tad disappointed; sometimes the ragdoll effects are a bit off; not all objects are useable, so sometimes you might want to do things, but what you want to do might not have been taken into consideration by the designers; certain actions preclude others (like stuffing a corpse in a container will prevent you from collecting the clothes, since you can't take the corpse out again).
I wish it was there: more dynamic environment (like being able to move furniture - I keep getting stopped by unmoveable chairs, apparently nailed to the floor), better/more realistic physics (better ragdoll effects, but more than that, sounds should behave differently - like the fact that opening fire with a SMG in a small room should definetively be deafening).
In my drunken stupor I dream of: A very large, very dynamic, very complex serie of levels, where actions in one will modify the next one, and where failure IS an option which will change the goals of the next mission, if not changing the game entirely.

Perfect

Anybody that tells you they enjoyed Splinter Cell, but Hitman is linear has obviously never played either. Splinter Cell is the most linear boring video game ever created, however Hitman is perfect. Enjoy.

If you can see me, i can see you. if you can't see me, you're looking at the last thing you'll ever see

BRILLIANT!! I've played all the hitman games and this one is BY FAR the greatest of them all. I loved Contracts, but this game simply blew it out of the water with more interesting missions, better AI, and more ways to get the mission acomplished!! I especially liked the various "accedental" ways people could die. Don't get me wrong though, if you want to simply blow a whole bunch of people away, this game definately can deliver.

Awesome.. just like ther others but better

This game is great. I'm so sick of reading reviews lately that whine about great games.

Perfect example: "Waaah! This game was made for the console and they ripped us off by just switching it to PC! Now I have to press two extra buttons! Waah! Any idiot wouldn't play this!"

Well, guess what, if you can't handle one or two little conversions, or if you just hate consoles in general because you're a die-hard PC gamer, then don't buy any games with multiple platforms.

With that said, this game is similar to the other in the "Hitman" series, and I love the 3rd person perspective gaming that has seemed to fall off in recent years. Eidos has done a great job of keeping us happy with games that are not first-person shooters, e.g. Hitman, Tomb Raider, etc...

Personally I'm tired of FPS games and this is a GREAT strategy/stealth based game. By the makers of that old game we all loved, "Commandos", you have to use skill and patience to carry out your missions effectively. It is not half as buggy or poorly converted as the "spotlight review" claims.

I would definitely recommend this game if you liked any of the other Hitman games. I would play this over Elder Scrolls or WoW any day.

Right on the money!

I have been an avid follower of the Hitman series since its original release, but never have I gotten into a game like Hitman: Blood Money. The head of The Franchise takes us back in time as he tells a young reporter the story of tracking down, and eventually killing Agent 47. He tells you this from the start. In between stories, we go back to certain dates in the recent past to play several missions. The missions are challenging but exciting, with numerous options for taking out your target. The artificial intelligent is exactly that - intelligent! New "hiding" options makes changing costumes much more easy, and upgrading weapons makes my favorite, the custom Silverballers, practically unstoppable.
Often times Hitmen of the past would slow down my computer, but this one barely affected it. And it still looked amazing!

Great game but technical problems

I absolutely LOVE this game. It played fine up 'til around level 5 or 6, then started crashing. Tech support told me to update my video card drivers, which I did. I could then play that next level, but upon completion, it crashed again. Re-installing and *NOT* applying the 1.2v patch allows me to play just fine. This kinda stuff really bothers me for those of us that are actually buying the games.

Gameplay is awesome, I hope they release a new one. Just yesterday I played for 8 hours! Wasted the whole day, but I had fun. I'd recommend this title for the PC.

interesting game

I love this game it first person shooter, like previous Hitmen. The only problem I had was my computer- not good enough grafic card. But game v. involving. Strongly recommended.

Good Game

I had a lot of fun with this one.....and contrary to what some reviewers are saying, if this game was a port, I couldn't tell. It looked quite well made to me, and had very high production values (along with yet another killer soundtrack by Jesper Kyd).

The real value here is in the gameplay, which is compelling and extremely well executed....a huge interaction interface improvement over Silent Assassin. Multipathing is excellent, and enhances replay value.

The basic plot this time is quite interesting as well, and keeps you wanting to play to the end to the greatest Hitman final level ever conceived....play it to find out what happens.

Performance was more than passable, and graphics more than good. You don't need a particularly beefy PC to play this, in fact I have dual video cards and played it fine with nary a hitch on just one single card.

What a Blast!

Agent 47 comes to life on your PC. For those of you that play Hitman: Blood Money on your Xbox 360 and were hesitating to get it for your pc, don't. The PC version has better graphics, of course it has one flaw, you have to use the keyboard and mouse to play the game, not an Xbox 360 Controller. If you get the pc game, get the latest patch, to prevent from crashes. And when you play this game, it does help to have the strategy guide when you play, or else you can make a fatal mistake in the game. This game has 13 missions, and mission one is a training level, to get you used to the keyboard and mouse controls that you will be using in the game's progression.

As you go from mission to mission, they will get harder. That is why you need the strategy guide to reference, so you don't get agent 47 killed during a critial mission. You can only save a game while you are playing it, which I think is bad. If you quit the game, you start from the beginning of the mission you were on, no save games to load. But as I said, if you played this game on the Xbox 360, you are used to this feature. All, in all. This is a great game to play if you are into FPS games (for the newbie First Person Shooter). No multiplayer features on this game for the pc or the Xbox 360, sorry. And you must have at least a Pentium 4 processor or better, and I find that at least 2 GB of computer RAM, plus a very good video card (Like the 200 dollar or higher Nvidia PCI-Express or ATI PCI-Express video card. And for the higher powered video cards, you need a more powerful power supply for your pc) will help make the game play smoothly on your pc.
