Hitman: Blood Money Review

Well I just gave the newly released and 4th installment of Eidos’ Hitman: Blood Money a try. Right off the bat I’m thinking nice graphics and dead easy to control the bald man with a UPC code on his head. The intro opens with a dramatic Ave Maria musical piece set against the backdrop of crows and foliage. Which I assume is the forshadowing for the plot. Agent 47 (the UPC dude), to me, looks like a taller version of the actor Ben Kingsley – maybe that’s just me.
The game follows the same suit of stealthy, bloody, no holds barred gameplay that the previous iterations of this PC game contained. I feel the look and feel of the game has improved and the nice added touch of a help system for all those complicated buttons you need to press in order to progress. I honestly only played the first game Hitman: Codename 47 which came out about 6 years ago now. So I’m not up on the whole hoopla surrounding the game. The game did leave me wanting more so I’ll play it until I’m completely desensitized.
If you’re into that stealthy, Thief-like style of aggressive gameplay with plenty of guts and glory are a fan of the previous versions, than you’d probably be interested in at least giving this game a go. I myself am going to see if I can get a UPC code tattooed on my not-so-bald noggin.
