Hitman: Blood Money

"It gets old after a while."

NOTE: This game contains explicit content that some parents/guardians might not find suitable for children under the age of 17. It contains Some Language, Brutal Violence, and some Sexual References.

Hitman: Blood Money is an okay game after you've completed all of the missions. Its storyline is really compelling at first and then you realize the story doesn't matter.

Story: You are Agent 47--a man with nothing to lose and will do anything for money. Your heart is cold and you will never show any mercy. Anyway, you take jobs to do certain hits on people. You can get a rating for your kills from Silent Assassin to Terrorist. You get a range from various weapons such as Desert Eagles or SPAS 12 Shotguns or even M4s. You also get a set of tools for your "Silent Kills." The game gets much better if you use your Custom Soundtracks.

Story rating: 8/10

Sound: The sound system is amazing. The guns sound very realistic as well as the grunts of people being killed. It is one of the best sound systems I've heard in a video game yet. The reactions of humans are also done very, very well.

Sound rating: 9/10

Graphics: Well, the graphics in this game were very, very great. I don't know how to put it. The detail in this game were amazing with Agent 47 blinking his eyes, or when you got shot, it will actually leave a mark and you can see it in a mirror. There are many great things the graphics can give out. Though, some of the faces looked like a Perfect Dark Zero character (which, IMO, is bad), it still gets a good rating. I enjoyed using bullets that go through doors and actually leaving bullet holes on the other side.

Graphics rating: 10/10

Replay value: The replay value, in my opinion, sucked. Like I've said before, it's fun to play with the Custom Soundtrack. It's best if you just go to certain levels and go on rampages or something.

Replay value rating: 5/10

AI: The AI in this game is really great. When a random civilian sees you killing other people, he or she will go to the nearest gun and try to fightback. It's really cool to get a human shield and others actually point their guns at you until you give up. There are things you can do such as push some people in a bayou and alligators will come up to them and eat them. Sure, one time in the beginning of the game, the AI screwed up but no worries.

AI rating: 10/10

Well, Hitman: Blood Money is great at first, but you need to have a lot of patients with this game for it gets old and annoying with the load times and whatnot.
