As a fan of the earlier Hitman games, I really looked foreward to this one. It was a big dissapointment.

User Rating: 6.8 | Hitman: Contracts PC
When it comes to gameplay Hitman Contracts is very much like Silent Assassin. The graphics is slightly better, and there are only minor changes about the controls and weapons. Which is good, since Silent Assassin was a great game. Like Silent Assassin, Contracts also has some really well made missions, but it is also here it fails. About 50% of the missions are remakes from the first Hitman game: Codename 47. The thought behind it was probably to make our favourite missions from the first game, even better. More intense maybe. But all they did was to ruin them. Some of the characters we loved was removed, and the killing possibilities and routines we had worked out was useless.. In other words, half of the missions in Hitman Contracts are really good and well made, while the other half is just ruined copies from the first game. Or actually, half of the missions COULD have been really good, as they have excellent layouts and surroundings and so on.. If they had just taken the time to fix the hundreds of bugs you are guaranteed to encounter..

I am sorry to say that it seems that Hitman Contracts was released before it was finished. Those missions that actually works makes the game worth playing though.. That is, if you like the earlier Hitman games.
