Hitman: Blood Money

"Killer for Blood Money, Destroyer for Infamy."

Gameplay: This game is easily my favorite Hitman game of the series. It is also one of my favorite games stealth-wise. It seems flawless to me... Perhaps, that's because it is? You go in guns blazin', wiping out everyone in sight, showing no mercy for the innocent, just to get the main target you've been hired to assassinate. Or, you can play along, make it look like your the innocent person... When really, all along, you are the one that's the meanest mofo around. Prepare for glory. Prepare for your blood money. If you like assassinating people, stealing other peoples' clothes to play other roles, or if you just like to kill a LOT of people. This game will make your hair stand on end!

Graphics: I find the graphics in this game very nice. In fact, I think the graphics are better during gameplay, than they are in the cutscenes. Perhaps it's because they kept the old videos from PS2, etc, and just improved the Xbox 360's graphics? I have no clue. But either way, I still think the game looks vibrant.

Sound: The opera music it opens with give it an "evil" feel. That's what I like. I love it in fact. Now, everytime I hear opera music in real life, I feel like I have to go all Hitman on people. Even though there's not much music during in-game play (not that I really notice anyway), I think that's a good thing because it pulls you into it in a "realistic" sense. However, if you like music, then you can just put it on yourself with a CD or something, and play it through your system. And if you do that, I highly suggest "Requiem for a Dream" while playing this game. It's really the only song I enjoy playing to. Also, "Schism" by Tool is a good slow song that gets you pumped. All in all though, sound is probably the least favorite part about this game. But, you don't need it anyways. Great game all around.

Replayabilty: I beat this game the first time I rented it. And I have gone 4 months slaving for it day after day, not able to find it anywhere. Why you ask? Because, there's nothing I've wanted to do more than to go back through and try different ways, and different paths to assassinate. There's so many ways you can do it... So many weapons to upgrade and choose from. So many people to kill and steal their clothes from. So many places to hide the bodies of people you poisoned with your syringe. And now that I finally found it, I'm extremely excited to be playing it again. Thus, I wrote this review. So, is this game replayable? Heck yes. Over, and over, and over again. Killfest any day, any time, and any place.

Overall: I love this game. If you like Splinter Cell games, or any other stealth-based shooters, this game is for you. It is flawless in my opinion. I have not found a single glitch to this day, and that makes me very happy. You'll find yourself wanting to kill many people. But, don't feel too bad. You're not alone. :D

MUAHAHAHAHA!

10/10, BRAVO.
