while i never played the first hitman, i loved hitman 2. it was great and had tons of replayablity with tons of different ways to complete your mission. now, Hitman: Contracts does the exact same thing, just not as well. when i first play contracts, i thoght it was a blast, but very soon it got, well, boring. i definitly expected it to be a much better game, so i was very dissapointed after i played it. once again, you play as 47, a ginectly enhanced person that works for "the agency". throughout the game, 47 will have flashbacks of some of his missions, which is what you play. when you first start out the game, its alot of fun, but after you complete a few missions you dont feel like playing anymore. then after you beat th game its great to back and play a mission. and i mean 1 mission. afetr you complete it, it gets old. another problem is that the game is way too short. it only has 12 missions, where hitman 2 had over 20. so at first its fun, but once you complete a mission, its just boring. the graphics in contracts are pretty good, but it looks too much like hitman 2. i think they should have upgraded the graphics much more than they did, thats what i was expecting. while everything in the game looks solid, like the character modules and the levels look nice, they shoud've been better since technology has been improved since hitman 2, theres no reason why they should'nt have improved on them. the sound is also doesnt have much new to it. aside from new weapon sounds, there is some nice voice acting in the game and for the different countries your in there are different voices, like in the russian mission they used russian voice actors. this lends a nice touich to the audio, but aside that and the new weapon sounds, it still sound just like hitman 2. so overall, the game is fun to play 1 mission at a time and good to come back to after a while, but theres not enough here or anythiong new to keep you interested for very long. not saying that its bad, but i could have and should have been alot better.
