Rented this game a couple of days ago, had never played any of the Hitman games before. As a big fan of shooter games, I love the way this game draws you into the story and the action. Graphics are topnotch for the PS2. Did I forget to mention I bought the game.

An average game at most

I was really excited win Hitman:contracts came out but when i played it the results of the game were dissapionting.Through almost the entire game all you do is play levels from previos Hitman games,and agent 47 never walks he glides across the floor.Eidos always prided itself on how fluid the walking motion was so what happened to that fluid walking motion?The people at Eidos and lo interactive thought that blood and gore and the very sick tone of the game was what people wanted but most just want a good game but Eidos only gave the people an average one

I found CONTRACTS a let down after playing Hitman 2. Hitman 2 is better in every catagory. The violence depicted in CONTRACTS is over the top even for an assassin game, the scenes and locations are cluttered, and the picture is clouded and blurry like an episode of Moonlighting. Rent it or better yet borrow it before you buy it.

Bloody, Brutal, Awesome!

Let me start by saying this isn't a game for the little ones. This game is one of the bloodiest, most vicious video games to date, but this is easily overlooked with amazing gameplay, unlimited options, and great graphics(Yes their just like Hitman 2 but the graphics were great there too.) This game takes the same classic formula and ages it up. With such venues as a slaughter house, an insane asylum, and a confederate biker bar, this game lets you live the most grusome points in the life of a professional hitman. This game does have a few faults, but they are few and far bewteen. There is that little slide when 47 starts and stops running, and AI can be a little too paranoid. Dispite this few errors, this game continues a running legacy of the stealth/action game genre. Overall this game offers some of the best gameplay around, gives graphics that are detailed and gruesome at the same time, and has smooth controls that let you become a Silent Assassin in no time. With all these improvements, next April's Hitman 4(tenative title) will be even more amazing.

If you liked Hitman 2.....

This game can be seen as an expansion to Hitman 2. It plays almost exactly the same, which is a good thing. It is fairly simple to get the character to do what you would like. You can switch between 1st and 3rd person view, which is also convenient at times.

The missions in this game are visually awesome, fun, and challenging. There are numerous ways to beat each mission, ranging from a no stealth machine gun approach to using clever disguises and distractions. For this reason, the replay value is high.

Although there is nothing terribly new or innovative in this game, it is definitely a welcome addition to the Hitman franchise. I look forward to future installments. This game definitely belongs in the company of games such as Metal Gear Solid.

The Greatest Game of 2004 so far!!!!

This game is one of the greatest games I have ever played in the history of video games. This game lets you do a lot of things like get a fiber wire and strangle enemies. The story is very dark and confusing, but the gameplay is excellent. The graphics are great, the blood is great, the weapons are graeat, etc. The best thing about this game is that you could take people's disguises after you kill them, and act like them. You have to think about your next move in this game because it is chalenging. I am telling you get this game, not later, but NOW!!!!

Best Game I have played in a long time.......

This game looks so cool, that Grand theft auto better watch out. You have got new weapons including sawn off shotgun, golden deagles and more. You can drown people for another way for a silent kill. On the 30th April Hitman contracts will become one of the most gruesome games that is in the stores.

Places which you can visit include China and Russia, where 47's story takes a much darker side of his story and background.
This game is going to take stealth games to the next level!

"The thinking mans shooter"

It's the first level and you are faced with a choice of escape routes. Do you dress up as a doctor and sneak out of the building, or do you go ballistic and shoot anything and everything that moves?

Hitman: contracts takes us deeper into the mind of 47, a genitcally enhanced assasain who kills for the money, he travels the globe knocking off the target, whether it would be infiltrating a mansion in England or flying over to Paris and searching for the target.

This is the thinking mans shooter. There are plenty of ways to achieve to kill your target but the aim of the game is to achieve the all perfect "Silent Assaisain" rating.

The graphics are better than ever, the story is dark and disturbing, the range of weapons is bigger, and the blood and gore is disturbingly satisfying.
If your looking for a hard as nails challenge where you think first and shoot later, then this game is highly reccommended.

Enjoy!

Amazing
