Fun: A larger part of the gaming community would probably appreciate this game better if it were more of a run and gun action game, however, Hitman has always had more emphasis on being stealth first. This is an important thing to know before you so much as purchase this title. There's been complaints about controls, most particularly how fiber-wire is controlled. However, if you were smart enough to read the instruction manual you could master it in seconds! You simply hold your right trigger to prepare the wire and release it when you're behind your target, the rest is done on it's own! There has also been talk about the gun control. It's not difficult to aim in a third person game when you have crosshairs, especially if you're accustomed to the now standardized "Halo" setup. I personally think the gun play shouldn't even matter, as any lover of stealth would rather go without the guns. Should an armed officer come upon you, a simple headbutt and stealing of his weapon, using it in close range, and disposing thereof is about all you would need a gun for. Hitman: Blood Money can be a game about trial and error, particularly if you're a perfectionist who likes to leave a clean path behind you. These are easy to look past when given the different ways to approach a mission. Many missions include multiple paths and methods, be it by stealing a uniform and blending in or sneaking room to room until your target is reached. Missions also have opportunities to stage misfortunate accidents on your targets. Though it leaves bodies behind, I prefer this method as people will rarely raise suspicion to your involvement. Stealth fans will enjoy Hitman: Blood Money. Simply put, this game was never intended for running and gunning. Sure, you could do it that way, but it's no fun! Controls are not so difficult when you nail them down. The story is well told, voice acting is well done, and the music is superb. I gave this game a 3-star fun rating because the trial/error can sometimes be frustrating (I recall countless attempts on the "Flatline" mission because of not checking my back for watchmen). The quality overall does stand out, however. It's a worthy purchase for stealth fans, especially those who love to work on attaining top ratings on each level. A.D.D. action junkies should either rent or pass on it, however. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
