First impressions aren't everything.
User Rating: 8.4 | Hitman: Blood Money X360
When you first load up Hitman: Blood Money and you are new to the series (as I was this time around) you may think you are in a simple shooter. I was amazed at how not true that statement really ended up being by the time I had played through the entire story mode on the normal setting. This game is about stealth and strategy, and while the story is lacking, the gameplay keeps you on the edge of your seat. Your character is a clone who is built to kill and basically is handed several hits in which the player must perform with as little attention possible.
Overall, the game looks good (I believe it could have been better on the 360), has several very detailed and cool environments to play through, and really makes the gamer think of the best strategy of performing the objectives. I rented the game and unless you are obsessed with becoming a silent assassin on the hardest setting the game as little to offer once you play the story mode (took me about 10 hours). So rent this game first and if you are having trouble figuring out the levels but love the game itself you should probably buy.
