Hitman: Blood Money

"Another 47 to go"

Main overview: The Hitman series of game is about a Cloned man, agent 47 and his doings for a organization by witch is hired to kill. The games are stealth oriented action games, where you play agent 47 going along with your assignments and killing who you must.

I started playing this game like any other of the Hitman series, where I would do my research on the surrounds, and get the Intel and then go for the kills but, being on a "Next gen console" I was hoping that there would had been at least a more varied AI system, where they do not always do the same thing in same place. That being said was my only disappointment. As for the time taken to beat a single difficulty it had only taken me about 4 days.

Graphics:8 The graphics were well as on comparison to the others in the series but as compared to other xbox360 games it was not the best, and at times very glinchy. The scenery of the game was also very nice and well detailed and even almost beautiful at times.

Sound:10 My favourite sounds track of the series and very well matched to the game. With the music being the best part of the game you will hear exactly why if you have any liking for its 'charm'.

Story:8.5 Most of the story was very well thought out but some of the maps for the story were well off. The story continues to be just as interesting and yet somewhat vague.

Game play:9 The game play was not much different from others in the series but there were some glinchs that could be annoying. The control layout and working for this are perfect for doing this genre of game, and yet not very different from many other shooter games.

Re playability:10 Can always go back and play a level again doing random things but it will get repetitive after not much time of replaying a single level.

AI:7 The AI portion of the game was lagging mostly due to simple routines that were always the same for each of the characters. But if that had not been a problem then they where normally very well to play with, even if they couldn't deduce simple thing such as who kilt a man when there was not but you and the victim in a room.

Buy/Rent/Don't? I do suggest the buy for this title as I would for any hitman game, due to it always being able to be played over, although this is more of a game for people who like strategy and stealth games, but it can still be played by people whom would rather make some noise and CHAOS.
