Best Hitman Game Ever
User Rating: 10 | Hitman: Blood Money PC
We see from the very start of this game that 47 is dead - he is layed out at his funeral in the opening menu screens. The game takes place as Alexadner Leyland Cayne explains to a reporter the events that lead to 47's death - the missions of the game therefore take place in the past, after the events of Hitman 2. In one mission he has to rescue Agent Smith (who has appeared in all the other games) by injecting him with a serum that makes him appear to be dead, and then reviving him with an antidote later and rescuing him from a morgue. Soon after this is the Opera House mission - at the end of this level we see someone with a gun following 47 off down the street, and this is how he gets shot, leading to the events of Hitman : Contracts. The rest of the game takes place after Contracts, but still in the past - 47 knows there are assassins after him, and tries to get to the bottom of it. Along the way several attempts are made on his life, and eventually him and Diana are all that is left of the agency. The trail eventually leads him to a Las Vegas party, full of Assassins after him - Diana tells him this is the end, he should try to find out what he can, but they won't be communicating again. 47 kills his rival assassins and escapes - Agent Smith then asks him to take out an Assassin who is going to kill the President. 47 infiltrates the whitehouse and faces off with his greatest rival assassin, 'The Albino'. Back at his hideout, Diana comes to visit him - she explains that the building is surrounded by hundreds of SWAT members, but she will help him escape - she hands him a briefing, but whike he is distracted reading it, she stabs him in the back with a syringe. At the end, we see 47 dead at his funeral - Diana puts some lipbalm on, kisses him and walks away. The credits then begin to roll - however, if you start to hammer the controls, 47 begins to wake up - the syringe Diana injected him with was the same as the one 47 used on Agent Smith, and her lip balm contained the antidote. 47 wakes up and slaughters everyone at his funeral, including Cayne and the reporter, leaving no witnesses.
Above all, I recommend this game and certainly can't wait till Hitman 5 develops!
