This installment is some-what of a let down to be completly honest and I will tellyou why in just a moment, first though.. The game itself is excellent, gameplay is good, no 'jitters' or pixelation while moving across screens and landscapes which is very nice BuT.. this version could have easily been a plain xbox version not a 360 version.. with the exception of the 'mardi-gras' level where you see hundreds of people/drones milling along the street with little to no framerate lose.. there is no graphic pizzaz other then the street ful of people.. even the clothing is static. The rest of the game is not what i would have hoped for a 360 title.. especially for 60bux (plus taxes). There is very little voice overs, and the plot.. is... weak.. better then the last one.. but still weak. the learning curve is very easy but one thing that is not part of the curve... item/weapon switching.. the layout to switch tems or weapons is ridiculous, have to cycle through your inventory all the time really sux, a very linear inventory.. they made very poor to little to NON-use of the d-pad and/or other toggle keys that most games employ nowadays... but for all that ranting.. it is a good-great game.. the simple fact of been able to accoplish your goals & missions many different ways is the big plus here.. you decide how you want to finish the level or even just parts of it.. so kudos to the ever growing AI & custom level completion(s). I really suggest you rent this 1st since I took me all of 7hours to finsh the game (the basic straight through to the end) so now I'm goin back and redoing the levels on different diffuclty levels and different tactics.. but hardly worth 60bux++ .... although so far what game is worth that?? common M$ & Fellow Companies .. make the prices alil more reasonable.. this fool me with a 360 title for extra money is growing thin!
As you all know by now is that fact that you can't go all that wrong with a Hitman game. Which this version no doubt proves, again. After the first one being released for the PC only. IO Interactive quickly realized that... Read Full Review

I'm not the assassin type, but I liked this game. While this game is the best out of the series, this title still doesn't have that ZING that makes games really satisfying to the gamer. The character isn't the problem at... Read Full Review
