Amazon.co.uk Review
In a nutshell:
Agent 47 is back in the game that finally does full justice to the Hitman concept, with huge improvements to the graphics, controls and, most importantly, the number of ways for you to plan your hits – from wading in guns blazing to making it all look like a simple accident.

The lowdown:
Although the Hitman games were always a great idea they never quite worked the way you expected, with an awkward control system and camera and far less freedom than it at first seemed. This latest sequel solves almost all these problems, starting with a standard third person camera over which you have full control. Although you can ask for hints on how to carry out a hit you’ve so many options the game’s almost like a macabre graphic adventure - do you use the remote detonated bomb on the chandelier winch in the ballroom or plug the secretary’s Coke with poison and hide in the cupboard? The new notoriety system seems a bit pointless but otherwise this gets almost everything right.

Most exciting moment:
The game features tons of new additions like grabbing human shields, a quick draw for your gun and the ability to hide bodies. The most fun though is the simple sounding push option, which allows you to sneak up behind someone and send them flying off a balcony by "accident".

Since you ask:
Blood Money includes various references to previous Hitman games, the most prominent being the Paris mission in an Opera house, which acts as a prequel to Hitman: Contracts.

The bottom line:
The best Hitman game yet, that makes a real effort to fix the flaws of the previous games.

Customer Reviews

Cracking game.
This game is alot of fun, the visuals/sound are great also.
Big levels and many differnent ways of getting though them, well worth £20

ps dont buy from musicnmedia i bought a new version of this from them and what they sent me wouldnt of been sold in store not even preowned and they offer no refunds.

the world shall kneel !!!!!!!!!!
i have just got this game and it is the best game i have played on there is nothing that you can't do you can get human shields, take uniforms, push people off cliffs to make it look like suicide and people do not just collapse on the floor when you kill them.the only thing that needs improving is that there is not enough of it there are fourteen levels and considering the length is more than substantial but all outstanding games cand be improved by making it longer.

A great sequel from a great series
Sadly, it shows that it is a last gen port. The graphics range from PS2 standard to excellent. Fortunately the gameplay is still excellent regardless of the games graphical standards. It doesn't deviate much from the previous installments, so fans will knowwhat to expect.
