Blood Money is a right killer...

User Rating: 7.5 | Hitman: Blood Money PC
I've never been a fan of the older games but I could not resist playing the demo and from there the full game and am glad I did. The game was far far better than any of the older Hitman games and breathes new life into the franchise which hopefully can only get better from here on now. The biggest plus for this game is the pure fun factor that makes you want to play over and over again which some games these days lack.

The gameplay is impressive, allowing you to choose from a range of different methods to achieve your Hit and if you do pull of that perfect Hit, it gives you a sense of satisfaction than just to going in with all guns blazing. The graphics while nice are no more than that so there is still a big improvement to be made in that area and I hope they will with the improvements in Direct X 9 and the brand new Direct X 10.

Another major factor is the game has a big replay value allowing you to play over and over without getting bored since you can try to complete the missions in various ways for a challenge.

My only gripe with the game is that it could of had a few more levels or bonus missions, the AI can be pretty stupid and needs improving and I would love to see some kind of on-line play considered for future games but a nice story and improved game mechanics makes this the best game in the series.
