Hitman Contracts is a good game. Only good. The not-so-much improved graphic engine, the lack of background story, the small number of levels and the fact that it looks like an expansion pack for Hitman 2 undermine the game to a level that 47 didn't deserve to see. More than the half of the levels are remakes from the first game. They look nice, that's true, but... Wouldn't it be better to add new ideas? Players who played the first game will be very disappointed with all this. Contracts brings an all-new mood for the Hitman series: it's always night and , when snow isn't falling, the rain clouds your sight. And the mood is not only about that. The game is a lot more violent than its predecessors, from 47's moves to the scenery. That made the game more insteresting, but the continuous rain is something that bothers some people, and that includes me. I like variety. That made hitman 2 awesome. The music from the game is very good, but it's not the best I've seen in the past years. Jesper Kyd did a good job, but he looked a lot more inspired while making Hitman 2's soundtrack. The weapons sound believable and enemy taunts are pretty nice (but, sometimes, repetitive). The gameplay is very adequate, since it uses the ol' WASD+mouse control scheme. Let's see what Blood Money brings to us. Perhaps Eidos listens to 47's fans and make something REALLY outstanding.
