MGG=REVIEWS' Review of Hitman: Blood Money
The hitman series was a successful series. We have probably all played a Hitman game at some point and edios have made quite a lot of money from this franchise. I am going to review Hitman: Blood Money.
We left off in the last story with 47 being chased by the police and having to run for his life. This time, however, he has found an old abandoned hideout where he stays for the whole of the game. In this hideout, he has to assassinate every target he is payed to kill, not knowing that a new hitman organisation is on his tail and every man he kills gets them closer to there goal.
Also a few questions are answered in this sequel:
Why was 47 shot?
Why did they raid his apartment?
But they don't just give you the answers, you need to study every aspect of the story to find them.
Gameplay is the same as before and that is why you will carry on playing the game 'til you finish with gaming. It still has the automatic kills for example: holding down the garrotte wire button while behind a person's back will kill them automatically.
There are also more structures to climb so you can get to a better viewpoint or to get to your target unnoticed.
The graphics for the 360 version are better than the graphics for other versions. Now, the 360 version offers - what I like to call - "The Bullet Hole",
That is to say that if you fire at someone, a bullet wound will appear where you have shot them. This makes the game feel more realistic.
The Hitman series has something that no other stealth games can offer. Being able to do a mission the way you want to. The game doesn't base itself on routine, I.E. take this route, kill this guy with this gun, and we'll call that a wrap; Instead you can move in the shadows and not be detected at all, or go in all guns blazing. Each move you make has a consequence.
The more you kill the less money you get at the end. Not everybody has to die (although knowing most gamers today, everyone probably will, so I won't go on about it).
The AI has improved from the last game as well. Contracts would make guards miss a dead body just because it was in another room. Blood money offers guards who will hunt you down after every kill, putting the pressure on you. We have probably all had a moment in our gaming lives when we are just about to complete a hard level and then - BAM! - You get killed and have to start it again. That is the guards will eventually do. Just when you're about to kill your main guy they, will find you and pretty much mince you.
After each mission you also get rated on how well you did, getting paid based on it. In Blood Money you pay to have your mistakes cleaned up and to buy weapon upgrades,(trust me, there is nothing better than coming back to a level with to revolver that sends guards flying), . Furthermore, at the end of the mission, you get to see the newspaper which shows what the cops found out, how many witnesses there were and which weapon you used the most.
Hitman blood money does create a good atmosphere for a game of stealth and has a great story which hopefully does not bring about an end to this great series.
For this game I would give 8/10
