Obviously these are the types of games that people want to play, or the companies wouldn't keep making them. If your consience is affected by the video games you play maybe you need to get out more. I save my conscience for real life situations, not make believe ones that take play in a fantasy world on my television. This game looks cool, and for someone who is against violent games, you sure seemed to be interested in this one. Get a life.

HOLY.........!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!! This game is so much better than Hitman 2. Slow down time, stealth, and MUCH MUCH MUCH more weapons (like pillows and cue sticks) are at your disposal. This game is one of the best and even more better on Xbox. The guy that wrote the review above me is a pansy and doesnt know what he his talking about. Cry me a river you pansy. Play real games, not kiddie ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great game

I haven't played too much of the game, but what I've played so far is much more fun and much less frustrating than Hitman 2. Hitman 2 was fun in its own right, but at times got extremely frustrating because of the ease at which your cover could be blown. In this one, though not a whole lot has changed control-wise, it seems as if it's easier and more doable to go through the game by taking different routes. Also, in response to the three customers that commented before me, I do agree that games have gotten much more violent over the past few years, however these games are not intended for kids, nor should they be sold to them. It isn't the game developer's responisbility to put out games that are acceptable for all audiences, instead it is the PARENT'S responsibility to make sure that their kid isn't playing these types of games until he's old enough to play them...Hence the rating system. If you feel bad about playing these games or feel that it's morally wrong to play such games, don't play them, but also don't complain about how they're not suitable for children when it's quite obvious that they were not intended for children.

Great game! NOT FOR KIDS

I'm older than the average gamer, (35), and I think this is a great game.
Although I did enjoy the last hitman game but found it frustrating at times
and I thought didn't have enough action for my taste.

The great thing about this game is the great mix of stealth, action,and puzzle solving. Unlike Hitman 2, you can complete the missions by blasting your way through if you want.
But it's much funner to try to figure out different ways to make the hit. The easy setting is easy enough that it's not overly frustrating.
The graphics are about what you'd expect, good but not stunning.
The enemy AI is very good.
Overall this a great game for any fan of the series.

Now for the bad
This game is extremely violent. Over the top in my opinion.
Bondage, mutilation, etc. One particular mission makes GTA look like Disney.
I know the teenagers will buy it just for the gore. But personally I don't think it adds to the game.
Adults who like this genre should run out right now and buy this game. But don't let young kids play.

Deadly fun!!!!

This game does a great job of immersing you into the role of the hitman. It is so much fun on so many levels. First, this game plays exactly like Hitman 2, which is not a bad thing at all. I think most gamers that buy this game already know what they are getting themselves into, and getting to explore new environments with an assortment of new weapons is just icing on the cake. Second, not many games made these days offer the open ended game play that the Hitman series offers. You decide how to complete each mission, you decide on the weapons. That is why this game is so good. It offers the gamer the gift of choice, not just the scripted limited game play that so many other games force you into. Third, this game is dark and demented, and as an adult gamer, this is real entertainment. I'd much rather play games like this than just sit and watch a movie. You get to be in the movie, and affect the outcome! Awesome. Bottom line, this game is a must buy for anyone who appreciates a really great game.

A Excellent Game!

Hitman has become a multimillion dollar video game series and that is because these games are awsome. I've seen many games that make me want to take that game and just dump it in the trash and this is not one of them. I recommend this game for anyone who can stand violence and loves a cross between stealth and action.

This game has everything! it ROCKS

To put it simply, this game rocks. If you like Splinter Cell and you love GTA then you're gonna love this game. I haven't finished it yet but I'm about 85% done and I'm already dreading the end!

Weapon choices are great... Use of strategy vs. muscle is great... and the fact that if one tactic fails you can keep going on with another or just start over again. You can save anywhere - awesome! (even tho I forget to half the time because I'm so involved with the game)

You gotta get this game.. it simply kicks ass!

great game

Hitman Contracts follows the same line of play as Hitman 2. Your mission, each level, essentially is to assassinate a character.

The game follows essentially a linear path: begin at a start point, and work your way though to the objective. There is usually more than one way to kill, and you can complete your objectives in any order.

You have to pay close attention to what you're doing in this game. You can change clothes and disguise yourself, for example, as a waiter, but if you get frisked, the guards will be alerted if you're carrying weapons or if you're in a place where waiters usually don't tred. You can also drag and hide bodies. At the end of each level, you're receive a rating for your stealth.

The graphics in this game are par: it's obvious it was made for several platforms, and it doesn't have great graphics like an x-box game really should. The cutscenes, however, are quite nice.

Overall, this game should hold your interest for a while. It's challenging, but often monotonous.
