"Awesome"
5 stars"

This game is awesome. I was so impressed with how they kept the feel of the earlier hitmans while revamping so much of this game to make it feel stat of the art. A must buy i think for any fan of a strategy shooter

This has got to be my game of the year! LOVE IT.

Tense and edge of the seat gaming at its best, use many different methods to complete the assasinations laid out before you, awesome and gripping story mode and a hugely endless multiplayer-esqe contracts mode. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS GAME! highly recommend it.

"It has it's ups and downs, but It's still Hitman"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Don't buy this expecting Blood Money 2. The campaign is very story driven, and contains levels that require no assassinations at all, but instead an objective to get from point A to point B while evading police. When there are assassination missions, they are great fun though, if a little frustrating at times.

Enemies can see through disguises very easily, and sometimes bumping into someone around a corner will instantly blow your cover. Another annoying aspect is trespassing. There is no warning that you are trespassing until you're actually there, and by then you've usually been spotted.

Despite these frustrations it is still quite a fun game, and contracts mode is where it really shines, giving it more of a Blood Money feel.

Good graphics, average story and great gameplay (most of the time).

"Awesome game but has its downsides"
4 stars"

The storyline is beyond amazing, the graphics are definitely worthy of its time and the gameplay is thrilling…for the first half. Personally I found it quite frustrating in the 2nd; as the missions get harder the gameplay becomes extremely tedious and the trespassing mechanic doesn't help very much. Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing game just be prepared to exercise your patience

"Awesome but slightly repetitive."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The game has many innovative methods of taking down your enemies – there is no ‘one way’ to complete each level and hence the game is not linear like the usual CoD campaigns.

The storyline is decent and keeps you involved as you sneak past or kill your enemies – whichever method you choose to complete the mission.

The only slight drawback is that every mission is similar in that you must sneak past enemies to get from A to B. However there are some other things you do in missions, such as recovering items (by sneaking past enemies) to continue the mission.

The game could be said to be analogous to Assassin's Creed (with the stealth like kills and ‘blending’ in) and GTA IV/V (a third person shooter along with hiding behind objects of the environment).

Definitely worth grabbing if you can get it on special!

Worth the wait to get this game.

Very subjectively challenging and pretty damn cool online gameplay.

However if you want to be a noob you can be, with the only consequence being your lack of achievements.

Gameplay is perfect, almost every target has at minimum 5 ways to kill them. Not just your poison the food source kind either!
