One of The Best Games Ever Made. Hitman Blood Money is one amazing game. It shows the dark side of 47 (yes he does have an even darker side). You'll get to kill all sorts of criminals, and anyone who gets in the way, everything from slicing an Italian Drug lords throat will he plays the violin, to switching a fake gun with a real one for a play to kill a pedophile singer, to dropping a piano on a would be assassin, to burning an arms smuggler as she tries to put it out, she falls into a shark tank and gets eaten. With fully customized weapons, new disguises, new ways to trick guards and a new close combat system, 47 can take any hit, even a hit that is notorious as 9/11. With video cameras, witnesses, smarter guards and newspapers, 47's job just got a whole lot harder. But even the FBI hunting him down he still makes hits with beautiful style. No longer does 47 take his missions in few different spots, he now goes to places like a French opera house, a Mississippi river boat, a Las Vegas casino, a Chile drug factory posed as a vineyard, a rundown amusement park, a heaven and he!! themed night club, the bayou, and even a certain world capital city. But what is hitman without conspiracy and cloning, this time around it is more then the backbone, it is the new world. But angry rednecks, the FBI, and annoyed bouncers aren't 47's only foes, now a franchise of top class assassins are killing members of the Agency, end if he doesn't watch his back, some one might break it. Many of the classic weapons are back like the W2000 sinper, the Spaz shotgun and, of coarse, 47's favorite guns, The Sliver Ballers. But new weapons are in like garden shears, nail guns, hammers, fire extinguishers and knives. Some huge helpful things are back, but now you can use them anytime, the remote bombs (great for causing "accidents"), poison syringe (poison directly or go for their food), and Sleep syringes (that work just like their deadly brothers). So many people to kill, so much time.
Great Game...have patience

This game seems pretty much on par with all of the rest of the Hitman titles. I would say the one thing that makes this one a bit different are the large levels/environment and the amount of AI. As always with the Hitman games, yoyu are going to have to be patient. You pretty much will not beat a level until you have done it enough times that you have your entire route and actions planned from beginning to end right from the start. Fun game all in all.

Hitman: Blood Money is a very good game, it's hard to put the controller down. I've played the last two games and this is definitely the best one yet. The gameplay has improved a little, the graphics are better. The best improvement is the weapons. You actually earn money this time around for upgrading your weapons. After each mission you can read what the police discovered on the front page of the newspaper. So watch out for leaving any traces of your presence, such as guns, knives, or even witnesses. One of the only irritating things in the game is the A.I. Once in a while people will just start shooting at you for no reason. Just make sure to save as often as you can, that is if your not playing the Pro difficulty. Overall the game is worth the rent.
Very mixed reaction

Yes, this is a cool game and all, but i really dont know if i think its the best or the worst hitman game.
One thing that i dont like, is that there is no silencer in the game, maybe for a short while, though. And every time you want to get past a search guard, you have to take every weapon away. All you can do is strangle, and poison people. I do like how you can knock people out, so you wont get caught. The games controls are a little weird i'd say.
I do like that it all takes place in america, you get to go to las vegas, and mississipi. I do like how it has very much a story to it, which is a big leap for the franchise.
The game isn't as violent as the other hitman games, or bloody. And its not to dark. Hitman contracts was great at being dark, but i dont like dark that much.
The graphics werent what i expected. The big and sharp enviorments are very good, and the texture. But its still the same thing. And i really liked the news headlines, on the newspaper. Just like real newspaper.
One other thing i dident care for, was the music. I really liked the music in hitman contracts, with all the nightclub music, and all that.
I did like this one, but its not the type i would play all the time. Its just not as entertaining.
