 Great game- can keep you occupied for hours! April 4, 2008
I know it seems kind of hokey, the graphics are kind of lame compared to today's stuff but there's something about this game that's just a lot of fun. Maybe because you can either sneak around and be a pro or just be a crazed lunatic and take everyone and everything out in your path. Either way, it's fun and you'll love it.
Excellent game for the price. December 7, 2007
This is an excellent game for the money.
If you like Splinter Cell and games like it, then you will like this game.
Of course, this game is not perfect, but few games are.
The XBOX 360 version of the game is probably the one you want. The XBOX 360 achievements, as with most games, give it some additional replay value which is nice.
Great fun with a story that doesn't interfere December 3, 2007
I had a lot of fun playing this game. It's improved over the original Hitman game since you can now purchase upgrades to your equipment.
Gameplay is really well designed without the crazy camera angles. Agent 47 is easy to control and navigate through obstacles. The only problem I had with him was when trying to use the scope on his rifle. But this ia very minor problem and is easy enough to deal with once you are used to it. The fiber wire is a bit difficult to use (as it should be), but overall, the controls are quite manageable.
The story of the game is easy to follow and doesn't interfere with the game enjoyment at all. I think it actually enhances the game, especially near the end. I don't want to give anything away, but if you pay attention to the mission objectives you should enjoy the plot. THe soundtrack is also great and enhances the game.
Missions are not too complex. Some of them are pretty straightforward, but some contain multi-layered and optional side objectives. AI is pretty well done since NPCs don't always follow the same pattern. It could be better though. Some NPCs are just plain stupid. I.E. When a bodyguard searches you and you are dressed as a waiter, as long as you surrender your weapons he will let you pass. If I were a bodyguard, I think I would have to question why a waiter would need a pair of silenced silver ballers and a sub-machine gun.
I have yet to play the game on the harder levels, so this may just be a rookie feature.
Overall, this is a fun game and has replay value to try to get a better rating on each mission. I like to replay it on each difficulty level util I've mastered the game and it hasn't gotten boring at all so far.
This is a great addition to any XBox 360 game library.
 A Nearly Perfect Masterpiece November 8, 2007
A Nearly Perfect Masterpiece
This game is like 2 games in one. In one game you sneak around undetected. You change outfits to blend in and you slowly patiently track down and stealthily kill your targets. In the other game you go on a maniacal rampage killing everyone in sight! For that reason, and the fact that there are many possible ways to complete your hits, this game is extremely fun and has very high replay-ability.
The music in this game is excellent! Ave Maria at the beginning and throughout makes a wonderful contrast to bloody evil deeds that Agent 47 carries out. Jesper Kyd is an excellent composer and his music fits perfectly with the game.
The controls are tight. The camera system works very well. Weapon upgrades are an excellent touch. Hitman has a great linear story. Since when did linear become such a bad thing? My only complaint is the lack of variety in character models. There's an athletic character and fat character for both male and female. Between these 4 body types there seems to be only 1 face for each body type. Eye color and clothing changes, but other than that everyone's the same. This is the ONLY thing keeping this game from being a Perfect Masterpiece.
Once you reach the end I'm sure you'll agree this is a satisfying, complete, well though out video game.

Overall, this game was fun to play. It needs more work in regards to character mobility and interaction. However, the 360 degree view is excellent and much needed in a game where the top priority is to remain anyonymous.
