The Best Hitman To DateStrengths: Excellent Gameplay Excellent Graphics High Replayability Weakness: It ends-wish there were more missions! In Hitman Blood Money, Agent 47 makes his return once again in his "profession" as a hired assassin. You could see how the devlopers of this game really fine tuned everything from the previous installments and created the best Hitman game to date. As anyone who has played a Hitman game before, it is the various ways you can perform a hit that gives the game a unique flavor. Coupled with solid graphics, music, and gameplay, Hitman is one of the, if not the best in the stealth/action genre. I personally prefer Hitman over Splinter Cell, though the latter is still a great series. In Blood Money, you will find yourself traveling all over the word to carry out your missions. You will find ways to take out your target by pushing them out a window to make their death look like an accident, injecting poison into their favorite meal, or just plain shooting them to smithereens with a shotgun. As said before, there are multiple ways to carry out a hit so the game does not restrict you as other games would. This is without doubt the BEST Hitman to date, and I really look forward to future Hitmans. I would like to see more variety in missions, and more missions! This game should provide a good 20 hours of gameplay, and the re playability is excellent since you can go back and try to get the "silent assassin rating" I highly recommend this game for anyone interested in the stealth/action genre.

Agent 47 is backStrengths: Nice graphics. Great level design. Music is great as always. Weakness: Constant loading noise. No cheat codes. Save system could have been better. Clumsey controls. Hitman Blood Money is the latest game in the Hitman series. Despite a few faults, it's probably the best game in the series. The Hitman games have always had nice graphics and this one doesn't disappoint. There are some great lighting effects and lots of characters on screen at once. The controls are still kind of awkward but the camera and aiming and everything are fine. Blood Money does not have ANY cheats codes which is lame since the the first couple games did. The save system is OK but you MUST beat the entire level otherwise you have to start from the beginning. All in all, this the probably the best Hitman game. Fans of the series will love it.

A Hit for HitmanStrengths: Graphics, weapons Weakness: AI and only single player If you like the Hitman series, then Hitman Blood Money should be a must have. The game is only single player and supports no online play. The graphics are great and the ability to choose which weapon you will use is fantastic. The single player campaign also has great replay value. The game allows you to sneak around or run and gun, which ever you prefer. Definitely a good purchase for the price.

Bloody Murder!Strengths: Good controls, and Levels Weakness: Slightly dated graphics This is the Best Hitman game to play if you have never played any of the previous versions. I did play the previous games and still found Blood Money to be enjoyable , but the game does not introduce very many new elements. The game has a good story, and funny dark humor, plus some creative and exotic levels. The open ended gameplay is challenging when needed and the enemy AI does a good job of keeping it challenging.

Blood MoneyStrengths: Fun game, great concept Weakness: Hard to grasp if this is the first hitman game you've played Blood Money is the first Hitman game I've ever played. It's definitely a fun game and I'm glad I picked it up. Since this was the first time I've ever played a Hitman game, it was hard for the first hour or so as I tried to understand everything that was going on and began to pick up on some of the little nuances of the game that people who have played previous installments already know. That all being said, this game is very well done and should be picked up by anyone looking for something new to play. The graphics are well done, the interactions are realistic, and the game just does a great job of leaving a good impression on you. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Hitman: Blood MoneyStrengths: A solid game with more abilities than before Weakness: N/A Hitman Blood Money is a great game. If you played previous installments, you know what you're in for. Agent 47 is a Hitman looking to complete his objectives. Just like in previous installemtns, you can sneak by or you can kill everyone you see. However, there have been a few new additions to the gameplay to make things a little more realistic. As opposed to just pressing a single button to interact with an object, now you can do one of several things depending on which button you press. Basically it's three levels of interaction, comparing to light medium and hard. Depending on the situation you'll want to do one extreme or the other. If your trying to be stealthy and quiet, you'll do things slow and quiet. Trying to run away and not have anything slow you down? Then you'll do it much faster but it won't be quiet or stealthy, by any means. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Hitman Blood Money
It is whispered among the criminal underworld that the man in the starch black suit and smooth baldhead is not a myth. For years this phantom seemingly picks off his targets and disappears without a trace and some say that he eerily assumes the identity of those around him like a human chameleon. He has many names in the criminal network but only the really connected know him as 47. In Hitman:... Top

Hitman: Blood Money
Finally, Agent 47 comes shooting back after a two-year hiatus. His killer antics remain the same: devious, sly, and conniving--a mark of a true Hitman game. Top

Hitman: Blood Money
The Hitman known as Agent 47 returns in his fourth installment, this time taking his murderous skills to the US, all while the agency he works for is being hunted down by unknown assailants. Could the world's most renowned hitman be a mark himself? Top

One of the better Hitman titles in recent memory. . .
Strengths: Open-ended mission objectives, diverse weapons arsenal, high replay value, solid graphics, decent soundtrack
Weakness: Weak enemy AI, no multiplayer support, minimal updates
Hitman: Blood Money follows the slow progression of Silent Assassin and Contracts to a satisfactory conclusion without much evolution. Its "more of the same" game play generally plays well and should provide ample entertainment for beginners and veterans alike at a reasonable price.
Blood Money again follows Agent 47 as he crosses the globe through a diverse set of environments to fulfill his dozen or so missions. While it's possible to run and gun your way through the missions, a new notoriety system will make your later missions more difficult as a result. Your enemies will also continually charge you with no regard for their personal safety when you do this.
Blood Money is perhaps the easiest of the console Hitman titles to pick up and play initially, so it's a good place for new players to start. Blood Money can now be found new for less than $20, so fans of the stealth genre should consider a purchase. If you happen upon the right clearance sale, you can own it for the price of a rental.
