a better use of my money would be to use my money as toilet paper. a game which just gives you Hitman 1 all over again..
first off, if you have played hitman 1, dont even consider buying this game. most of the levels are just the exact same levels from hitman 1. these levels are meant to be "flashbacks". i describe them more accurately by saying "this is just the creators of the game being lazy and just using old levels and storylines to fill up the gaps created by the makers laziness".
in hitman 2 you had a few options to complete the level. there was the "i have a gun, you can have some bullet in your brain" way which was both fun and acceptable. there was the sneaky but enjoyable way where you get to do a little killing and a little sneaky work. and then there is the super sneaky way where you go for silent assassin the whole time. in hitman 3 you have the right way and the almost right way. this gives you minimal flexibilty on what you want to do. sure you can go and kill this guy in the corner who is watching his urine trickle down a drain pipe but eventually you will walk back to the path that cannot be avioded. so the game really only has 1 way in which to do every level so no matter what you do, you will be following the yellow brick road by the end of the mission
summary. weapons are good, a few more than last time inlcuding a pool cue and some of those non projectile weapons. missions as i said are deplorable. it would be better and cheaper if you just went and bought Hitman 1 because they games are very similar. the story line has been cut out of the game. all you are given is that 47 has been shot and at the end he has to escape as swat teams are closing in around him, that is the last mission. so no storyline. gameplay is not very good, not smooth at all on the 3 CPUs that i played the game on. i doubt this is bad luck *wink wink*
buy it if:
- you are a millionaire with too much timeon your hands
- you are a crazy Hitman fan and want just those few levels that are unique to hitman 3
- you are a weapons freak and wanna use them in a game
- you havent played hitman 1 and you dont pay attention to story lines
dont buy it if:
- you are sane
- you have played H1 (reasons stated above) OR hitman 2 (as the qualtiy of gaming goes down from 2 to 3)
- you love a good storyline and like guns
just a game that really disapoints after the player after hitman 2 as the quality of gaming is dropped like a stone. almost everyone that has written a review has gotten it wrong. they may like the game but the thing that a real game needs are lacking.
my classification says it all. i have been there and done that years ago. i dont need to pay money to repeat myself
