When I bought this game, I wasn't expecting much. However, once I got into it, I because absolutely addicted. Although there is no multiplayer aspect, the single player can keep you going for a while. In my opinion, an absolute must buy if you own a 360.

A definite title to own

This version of Hitman has countless hours of replay value. The Xbox 360 achievements alone will keep you coming back for more. With an almost endless variety of ways to accomplish each hit, you will definitely find interesting combos. The game is also packed full of little surprises (like the Rats Club in Curtains Down). Play as a terrorist who kills all and doesn't care if he is seen or as the coveted silent assassin. Both paths have their benefits. This is a definite buy as even the non-gamer crowd will be drawn in to the world of Agent 47.

Finally a great xbox 360 Game you'll LOVE!

I highly recommend this game! It has a lot of great thing to it. Like the soundtracks, missions, and graphics, there all so much better than the previous hitman game. BIG improvement. The missions are also longer, and require more though. There is also so much you can do in this new AWESOME version of hitman.... FOR EXAMPLE,,, make your murder look like an accident and dispose of your bodies. All in all buy this game it is the best game on the market for the Xbox 360 right now. You will not be dissapointed I guarantee!!!!!!!! :)

great assassin game...

i picked this up on a rental not expecting much. i'd played one or two hitman games before on the ps2 and thought they were ok, nothing special but not bad either. but this one totally blew me away. there is so much to this game past the superficial level. you can sneak around and do your hits in a variety of interesting ways, or you can do like me and eventually you go weapons hot and start levelling everybody. in this way the game is like two whole separate games...play once through like a shooter, and play the next working only for stealthy kills. i was very impressed by this game.

"Hey, stop there!"

This game cracks me up!!! I love the reactions of the innocent people when they notice that you are trying to "sneak" up on them to kill them!!!

"Hitman" is a definite purchase for any gamer in the fan club of titles such as" "Tenchu", "Grand Theft Auto" or "Medal of Honor". The basic shooring style is the same in this as these other games and most of the controls have a similiar feel.
WHat makes this game so great is that you have a lot of freedom to complete you missions in the way you want to do so. Basically, your only instructions are your objectives. It is up to you to figure out how you want to accomplish them.

This game has VERY smooth controls and really is a lot of fun to play!

Highly recommended!

Great Game for the 360

I purchased this game and within a couple of weeks of getting it, I had completed it at different difficulty levels. One of the great things about this game are obviously the graphics and the various means of accomplishing your missions. There are some who will choose to go through guns blazing and others who will prefer taking the quieter approach. Both methods are fun but the silent methods are the most challenging. The music by Jesper Kynd is quite suited to the atmosphere of the game and it helps raise the tension at the right times. The AI of the non-playable characters in the game is quite good and at times it can be frustrating at how often they will spot you if you are acting out of the ordinary. When playing for the silent assassin rating, you come to realize just what kind of skill is required to do well in the game. The range of weapons and modifications available are quite impressive though I'm sure some will still complain about it. It's definitely a violent game and though you can turn the blood and gore off, it's still a rather violent game. There are far worse out there but if you're a parent concerned about the level of violence your kids are exposed to it's probably best to steer clear of this game. Then again with a name like "Hitman: Blood Money" in the title, what do you expect? In some respects it is similar to the stealth games like Splinter Cell but whereas in Splinter Cell you often remain hidden in the shadows, here you can mingle though if you turn blatantly violent in public, you'll pay for it.

A Nearly Perfect Masterpiece

A Nearly Perfect Masterpiece
This game is like 2 games in one. In one game you sneak around undetected. You change outfits to blend in and you slowly patiently track down and stealthily kill your targets. In the other game you go on a maniacal rampage killing everyone in sight! For that reason, and the fact that there are many possible ways to complete your hits, this game is extremely fun and has very high replay-ability.

The music in this game is excellent! Ave Maria at the beginning and throughout makes a wonderful contrast to bloody evil deeds that Agent 47 carries out. Jesper Kyd is an excellent composer and his music fits perfectly with the game.

The controls are tight. The camera system works very well. Weapon upgrades are an excellent touch. Hitman has a great linear story. Since when did linear become such a bad thing? My only complaint is the lack of variety in character models. There's an athletic character and fat character for both male and female. Between these 4 body types there seems to be only 1 face for each body type. Eye color and clothing changes, but other than that everyone's the same. This is the ONLY thing keeping this game from being a Perfect Masterpiece.

Once you reach the end I'm sure you'll agree this is a satisfying, complete, well though out video game.

Great fun with a story that doesn't interfere

I had a lot of fun playing this game. It's improved over the original Hitman game since you can now purchase upgrades to your equipment.
Gameplay is really well designed without the crazy camera angles. Agent 47 is easy to control and navigate through obstacles. The only problem I had with him was when trying to use the scope on his rifle. But this ia very minor problem and is easy enough to deal with once you are used to it. The fiber wire is a bit difficult to use (as it should be), but overall, the controls are quite manageable.
The story of the game is easy to follow and doesn't interfere with the game enjoyment at all. I think it actually enhances the game, especially near the end. I don't want to give anything away, but if you pay attention to the mission objectives you should enjoy the plot. THe soundtrack is also great and enhances the game.
Missions are not too complex. Some of them are pretty straightforward, but some contain multi-layered and optional side objectives. AI is pretty well done since NPCs don't always follow the same pattern. It could be better though. Some NPCs are just plain stupid. I.E. When a bodyguard searches you and you are dressed as a waiter, as long as you surrender your weapons he will let you pass. If I were a bodyguard, I think I would have to question why a waiter would need a pair of silenced silver ballers and a sub-machine gun.
I have yet to play the game on the harder levels, so this may just be a rookie feature.
Overall, this is a fun game and has replay value to try to get a better rating on each mission. I like to replay it on each difficulty level util I've mastered the game and it hasn't gotten boring at all so far.
This is a great addition to any XBox 360 game library.

Excellent game for the price.

This is an excellent game for the money.
If you like Splinter Cell and games like it, then you will like this game.
Of course, this game is not perfect, but few games are.
The XBOX 360 version of the game is probably the one you want. The XBOX 360 achievements, as with most games, give it some additional replay value which is nice.

Great game- can keep you occupied for hours!

I know it seems kind of hokey, the graphics are kind of lame compared to today's stuff but there's something about this game that's just a lot of fun. Maybe because you can either sneak around and be a pro or just be a crazed lunatic and take everyone and everything out in your path. Either way, it's fun and you'll love it.
