Xbox 360 User Reviews

This was my first Hitman game ever. I heard a lot of complaints from longtime Hitman fans, maybe I just have a biased since it’s my first. But, I thought the story was fun, it’s definitely insane and over the top but I enjoy that. It gives you the option to play however you want, guns blazing.. or nobody heard a sound. It can be pretty dang hard trying to do it suit only on hard+ difficulty as I am not good at stealth games. If you’re good at them maybe it’s not too hard for you though. The music was awesome and I absolutely loved the settings and going through each mission differently.

Buen juego para la época en la que estaba, aunque ahora se suele sentir un poco peor.

Hitman: Absolution es un juego que me cuesta describir; si vienes buscando la experiencia de Hitman a la que estás acostumbrado, prepárate para sorprenderte. Además, si eres un nuevo fan de la saga y este es tu primer juego, te sorprenderá ver cómo es prácticamente cualquier otra entrega. Hitman: Absolution es el quinto juego de la serie y, por mucho, el más polarizante. Personalmente lo disfruto mucho; se siente diferente, pero en el buen sentido. Obviamente, si lo has jugado sabes que es mucho más lineal que los otros juegos, pero eso me gusta. Se siente más realista que el Agente 47 está corriendo por un sótano intentando escapar, en lugar de simplemente aparecer en su destino y no irse hasta matar a sus objetivos. En lo personal, recomiendo jugar Hitman: Absolution si te gusta Hitman o el estilo 'correr y disparar."

good game i liked the gameplay strong story and very replayable only side note the game want you to do it stealth if you are menace like you will get very few points

One of the most frustrating games I've ever given up on half way through. All of the right ideas are here, but their execution (pun...whatever) is half-baked at best. Why bother implementing a "disguise" mechanic if the disguises barely work? An irritating mess ****.

By far one the best 360 games I have ever played as it has a very basic and direct storyline but with a passion of good steady action.

Gran experiencia de infiltración y sigilo con un apartado técnico muy cuidado y realista. Recomiendo este juego para fans de Splinter Cell.

Скажу честно Hitman: Absolution это единственный Hitman которого я прошел до конца. Все, как предыдущие так и последующие, игры этой серии были какими то безыдейными. По большому счёту это был набор карт которые надо было по стелсу пройти от начала и до конца. Пытались прикрутить какое-никакое пояснение к этому, ну и всё. Почти всегда любая ошибка, а здесь это демаскировка, влекла за собой Game over. Мне это как то не зашло. А вот в Hitman: Absolution прикрутили худо-бедно работающий сюжет, разрешили действовать и открыто, при этом можно просто спрятаться и дождаться отмены тревоги, хотя стелс конечно приветствовался. Игра выглядела на голову выше той же Blood Money и не хуже новой игры из перезапуска 2016го года. Даже не знаю почему игра вызвала какой-то взрыв говна у игроков, а вот пресса приняла игру очень не плохо. В общем мне игра понравилась и жаль, что авторы пошли по пути первых игр штампуя каждые три года бессюжетные клоны Hitman 2016 только с новыми картами. Обидно и скучно. Но кому-то нравится. Хотя игра давно опустилась на уровень игр В класса, про которые никто ничего не знает, не слышит, не интересуется да и не хочет.

Best and interesting campaign best game I play and the easiest hitman it is easy and has a good price

Another - albeit very well polished - stealth game for its time. Well implemented use of foundational stealth mechanics including 'focus'. Fun and interesting levels.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

It was an okay game. Definitely a downgrade from Blood Money, but I'd rather play this again than give Codename 47 a run for its money. The first entry in the series to have proper weapon aiming, but the most linear and story driven one in the series. Only play if you don’t plan on roaming and messing around in a more open world.

Entirely too linear. Plays well as an action game but is absolutionly the worst Hitman game. Barely any targets throughout this title, which honestly feels more like Bourne Identity by way of Rob Zombie than an actual Hitman title. Still fun to be had, but don't come here expecting anything resembling Hitman.

Fantastic game, the hd remaster aged pretty well. There is something so relaxing about the hitman games I love it. This one has a little bit more of a story than the others and I really digged it. Caracters great it kind of felt like a Tarantino movie meets Rob Zombie movie meets the Arkham games. 100% would recommend, it was 15$ on the ps store and it comes with Blood Money (great as well but haven’t aged really well) Ps for platinum: I would suggest you play the game on normal difficulty on your first playtrough, hard mode has twice as much enemies and disguises do not really work, kinda ruined my first playtrough as I thought it was not very “Silent assassin friendly” + finding all the evidence on hard is a pain.

Было бы 9, если бы игра не было прохождением уровней а привычным контрактами убийств, неприятная цветокоррекция. Но по моему мнению лучший сюжет

Loses features that its predecessor had, but is still generally enjoyable. I think the unforgiving scoring and graphical style are more interesting than the later HITMAN games.

this game makes you feel like john wick its not a good stealth game but killing all the enemys makes you feel a action movie hero

Gráficos lindos uma boa gameplay história interessante um dos poucos jogos que traz uma vontade de jogar o dia todo

A very underrated entry in the franchise. IO Interactive took what made "Blood Money" so great and streamlined the formula. This is really the basis for the "World of Assassination" trilogy. At the time of release, critics favorably compared it to "Dishonored". Levels are over-the-top, stylish and filled with plenty of ways to take out the targets. Once you're done with them, you can take on the "Contracts" challenge maps. I would rate this with an 8.3 out of 10.

great game good gameplay good graphics interesting story i want see more hitman games

Atmosphere: 7 Enjoyment: 7 Gameplay: 8 Graphics: 8 Music: 6 Story: 7 Total: 7.17

Square's first reboot attempt of the series and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

Cierto que se siente diferentes a otros Hitman pero como juego de sigilo y acción es muy bueno y divertido. Punto positivos, larga duración, diversión y acción, re jugabilidad, diseño de niveles y la historia es buena nada increíble pero es entretenida. Negativos: Peca un poco de utilizar habilidades que hacen que sea mucho mas fácil ir por los tiroteos a diferencia de por ejemplo Blood and Money pero aun así me pareció que en este Hitman no afecta mucho tal vez por ser mi primer Hitman pero es muy divertido igualmente

Я бы сказал Absolution - это некая пограничная игра серии про величайшего наемного убийцу виртуального мира. Ремастер предыдущей части Blood Money, как по мне, уже не спас игру от ярлыка «морально устарела» и ей самое место лишь в наших воспоминаниях, а не на жестком диске консоли. Попробуйте поиграть, например, после второй части Hitman 2018 года в Blood Money, думаю разрыв в 12 лет вы с легкостью ощутите. А вот Absolution хоть и уступит перезагрузке серии, но не настолько чтобы на неё не обратить внимание. Игра действительно замечательная и прежде всего тем, что в ней есть вполне себе интересный сюжет, чего сейчас очень сильно Hitman-у не достаёт. Тут нет никаких контрактов, первую миссию в расчёт не берём, в Absolution у 47ого личная мотивация. Это вот как бы очень большой плюс игре, потому как в ней раскрывается сам персонаж, он здесь не просто инструмент для убийства, а человек со своими моральными принципами. Графика в Absolution конечно не на уровне того же 2018 года с ее мельчайшей детальной проработкой, но она вполне адекватная и способствует полному погружению в игровой процесс. По геймплею Hitman сильно не менялся никогда, всё тот же инструментарий и всё те же навыки. Сильно игре не достаёт карты, все важные моменты локации отмечаем визуально и движемся в их направлении наугад, это скорее всего сделано для большей реалистичности происходящего нежели для удобства. Искусственный интеллект мобов проработан не тщательно - периодически вас обнаруживают в ситуации, которая к этому не располагает будь-то через препятствия или без визуального контакта в отсутствии оных. Вариаций для изощренных убийств как мне показалось не очень много и чаще всего ограничиваешься обычным убийством в безлюдном месте. Всё потому что эти возможности для альтернативного убийства, оружие или какой-то тайный проход отмечаются одинаково и не всегда хочется тащиться через всю локацию, минуя все преграды, для того чтобы найти автомат, который тебе как любителю стелс и вовсе не пригодится. Проблем хватает, но все равно прохождение Absolution это скорее положительный опыт, хотя игру на сегодняшний день сложно отнести к авангарду индустрии.

I really liked it despite different "feel" when comparing to Hitman 2. I finished it with all goals/achievements, and that's rare for me.

Played on XBOX 360. Gameplay: GREAT. Story: GREAT. Graphic: GREAT. Music/Sound: GOOD. Dialogue/Voice Acting: GOOD.

This game I just got and it is amazing it is open world and it never gets boring

One of the best games ever made! I played this game so much on Xbox 360 in 2012 or 2013 and now i'm playing the remastered version on Xbox One.

A solid seven is not a bad rating. It's actually good. And "Hitman: Absolution" is a good game, so good I had to delete from my Xbox 360's hard drive and save myself from playing it until dawn. The game is 3 points from a perfect 10 for 3 very good reasons: 1) The cutscenes and dialogue are awful. They are offensive to humankind and everyone involved should take a moment to reflect on what terrible things inside them made them produce something so terrible. 2) There is only one way to obtain a perfect score. Basically, if you can interact with something, that is what you need to use to make a death look like an accident. There are no other options for a perfect play through. 3) Missions vacillate between short and easy and overly long and complex. The multiple target missions are particularly annoying when you cannot save your game between targets. I think if I can make a death look like an accident the first time, I can do it on all the other play through's too. And the number of guard's in some areas is outlandish. "Hitman: Absolution" has some other negatives, such as the cheap see through wall vision (called "Detective Mode" in "Batman: Arkham Asylum"), limited ability to use costumes, reinforcements that prevent you from sweeping areas, and loss of score for being seen by someone you then kill, because how can a dead witness testify? Ultimately, though, sneaking up behind people and knocking them out is fun, and much more fun than shooting them in the head. "Hitman: Absolution" could have been as good as "Deus Ex: Human Revolution". It isn't, but that doesn't make it bad.

Hitman: Absolution is not as impressive as it promises to be. The story, although decent, doesn't live up to the quality that previous Hitman games had. The level-design is forgettable and bland, basically going from point a to point b in a linear fashion. Sound design and gameplay execution is sub-par as it takes away from the overall experience rather than adding immersion and innovation. On a positive note, the voice acting and graphics are good, as well as the methods you can use to deal with enemies. Fans of the franchise may be happy with Hitman: Absolution, but for most people, it will more likely be a mediocre experience.

Not a perfect game, but a pretty good game. What's nice is you can play it in more than one way -- either blast through all your enemies, or sneak around, and try to gain points. It's a very fun title, Especially if you, uh, like murdering people. However, where this game is held back is in its story telling. The story is basic, and to be frank rather weak. This is not something you play for the story. You play it to take down the baddies...although most likely you are the real baddy here.

Une refonte de fond en comble des Hitman auxquels on est habitué, ce qui fait que le premier contact est particulièrement déplaisant. Disparition de la carte, remplacée par "l'instinct" qui permet de voir alentour tout ce dont on a besoin de voir et également de "disparaître"... tout cela réclame un nouvel apprentissage et de nouvelles habitudes. Toujours est-il que les niveaux sont moins grands qu'avant et souvent moins ouverts, on a même des conneries de QTE au corps à corps... On a l'impression de jouer à Splinter Cell Conviction, ce qui n'est qu'un demi-compliment... le "mark & execute" à la danoise n'en est pas moins très rigolo à utliser et avec le temps, on commence vraiment à apprécier ce nouveau Hitman et ses nouvelles facettes. L'interface est très bien faite et la réalisation très haut de gamme, la narration est soignée et leur moteur Glacier 2 impressionne, tout comme la musique et la VF, l'une des meilleures que j'ai jamais entendue. Plus spectaculaire mais moins stratégique que les précédents, plus étroit, ce Hitman Absolution en met plein les mirettes mais oublie un peu trop l'esprit de la série en cours de route.

Having only played one previous Hitman game I’m not really in a position to make any comparisons with earlier entries in the series but, judged on its own merits, I found Absolution to be thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. The plot basically revolves around Agent 47’s attempts to try to keep a young girl out of the hands of the agency and other nefarious characters. As video games go it’s fairly well told but it only really serves to provide some sort of link between each of the twenty or so missions. Reading reviews and forums I’ve been lead to believe that Absolution is more action orientated than its predecessors but, having played through on a couple of difficulty settings, I can categorically confirm that it is far from just being ‘another third person shooter’ as some want you to believe. Admittedly it is possible to shoot your way through many of the levels on the easier settings (the AI of the enemies when they come under fire isn’t great and they’ll often stand out in the open) but it is far more satisfying, and you are awarded a better score, if you can complete your objective without being spotted and Absolution provides plenty of alternative ways to eliminate your target. For those after a so called ‘pure’ Hitman experience the hardest settings make it all but impossible to just run and gun allowing anyone to tailor the game to their specific requirements. Perhaps the most controversial new features is ‘instinct mode’ which allows you to see through walls and predict enemy paths for example. For me this is a great addition as it prevents the long periods of waiting behind cover watching enemy patterns found in many stealth orientated games. The amount of uses is limited depending on the difficulty setting so again anyone after a more traditional stealth game only need play on one of the higher settings. One area in which Absolution did disappoint is that, in trying to be more cinematic; a few of the assassination and other important events take place in cut scenes. This is particularly frustrating when you’ve made your way through a level undetected only to have control taken away from you just in time to see Agent 47 be ambushed and knocked unconscious. All in all this is a largely successful reboot and I can only hope we don't have to wait another six years before we see Agent 47 again as Hitman Absolution proves there is plenty of life left in him yet.

Nicht mein Fall. War mein erster Hitman Titel und vermutlich auch mein letzter. Um es kurz von meinen Gesichtspunkten zu beschreiben: Langwierig, aufgesetzt, geradlinig und zu erzwungen. Es kam einfach keine Immersion auf... ich habe Level für Level einfach abgearbeitet. Und WTF Nonnen???? Echt jetzt... nein nicht wegen Glauben und so... bin Atheist :-) (Boah... aber das muss auf das amerikanische Publikum echt heftig gewirkt haben :-))... aber es ist einfach... langweilig! Und genauso wie sich dieser eine Aspekt bei mir ins Hirn gefressen hat wenn ich an dieses Spiel denke so finde ich auch dieses Spiel einfach nur... echt jetzt???... langweilig.

El mejor Hitman que he jugado, me gusta la calidad grafica y la jugabilidad, sin dejar de lado la historia y buen trabajo de los niveles, que sin duda alguna me mantuvo al pendiente de todo esto, sin mencionar los distintos tipos de dificultad que realmente pueden llegar a desafiar las habilidades del jugador.

Really nice graphics but not so much open than games before but still great fun. ........ . .

WIth better graphics, a better AI and the new Contracts mode, Hitman Absolution is a great game. But the bigger more sandbox type levels from Hitman: Blood Money arent here, instead the levels are broken up into shorter and smaller sections. I think they are still great, but not as fun to play. I also dont like the fact that you cant pick your weapons when you start a mission. But the voice acting and storyline are beatifull, better than at Blood Money.

As a person who is fairly new to the Hitman series (joining in with Hitman Absolution), this is a very hard stealth game! It has so much more depth than say... Assassins Creed and the protagonist is bald!! Bald I tell you! Great game! Must pick up if your tired of the same ol' Assassins Creed!

Strays way too much from the series roots for a Hitman fan to enjoy it like the other games. A good game, not a good Hitman game. (Hitman Blood Money was released in 2006, we waited 6 years for this?) From a subtle, stylish presentation to an overbearing grindhouse style presentation. Changing Agent 47 into a "hero". A dumb story (What happened in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin and Blood Money is nearly completely forgotten. 47 is a different character completely.) Story over gameplay (The game revolves around the story. This means lots of linear A to B levels. You are more of an infiltrator who kills people in his way, rather than a hitman.) Arcade style scoring (The series has always been a sandbox game, which means you play it your way. Absolution uses an arcade style scoring system, that reminds you you aren't playing the game right with minus scores.) No Jesper Kyd (The Hitman games have always had a great soundtrack, because of Jesper Kyd. This gave the series memorable music, a great atmosphere and got you in the mood. Absolution lacks this, the music is more generic spy thriller genre you would find in a Mission Impossible movie, Bourne movie or Bond movie.) Lackluster level design (Forgettable levels. There are none like A New Life, St Petersburg Stakeout or Traditions of the Trade.) No Vivienne McKee (Diana's ex-voice actress) Revealing Diana's face straight away (This has always been a thing in the series. This gave her character more mystery, the game removes all of this.) If this game had no association to the Hitman series I would give it an 8. But it does. One of the most disappointing sequels of all time.

Hitman: Absolution was a pretty enjoyable game in some aspects. Great stealth mechanics and a iconic character: Agent 47. But this game lacked, a lot. Firstly, The story was very boring to follow. Second, The colours were very bad. Thirdly, and this is the biggest one for me, this game is super depressing, its very dark and brutal. It would give me migraines listening to that sinister and dark soundtrack and looking at those dark colours. And don't let me mention that disturbing strip club mission and the Nun massacre mission ugh. Fourthly, this game can get extremely boring after about 2-3 hours. I wouldn't recommend this, but if you are a fan please do, I bet you will probably like this. 6/10 for me.

This game has some deep stealth mechanics that major stealth fans will surely enjoy a lot (especially on higher difficulties). However, I'm not a major stealth fan. I didn't give this game a 7/10 for that, though. It recieved a 7 as opposed to an 8 because there's not a huge amount of content. Online custom missions are okay but don't add enough to a somewhat short game. Still, it's a fun game and it's definitely worth a playthrough even for people who aren't big stealth fans. There are many different ways you can approach the majority of objectives and this is what makes the game good. You're given an objective and you use your tools and skills to get the job done however you can. Also, the story is pretty decent and the voice acting is also good.

A excellent game and, A great follow up to the hitman series. Awesome game, Also this game has alot to offer and it is Extremly fun wacking a bottle over somones head, Lol Very fun.

play this game is very painful. I Hate this game very much. It's not a hitman. It's a crap. Disgusting game ruined all those things together for which Hitman all loved so much.

Hit-man absolution, first person shooting and control game is really cool, i really like the graphics the realization of the game is basically just like the next gen Xbox one graphics, the way enemies drop when getting shot at and just the whole experience, wont say to much don't want to spoil the game but just a really beautiful game.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

When I first played this game on PC I was quite critical of its more linear and sectioned approach compared to previous Hitman games, however I think Absolution is a fantastic video game in its own right. The production value and quality is amongst the best video games ever made. The visuals are not far different from the PC version despite it running on ancient hardware and being very demanding on PC. It is beautifully optimised, has an awesome art style and, like all the other Hitman games, requires multiple playthroughs to fully appreciate its beauty. The difficulty, controls, game engine and visuals are incredibly well designed. The game mechanics and levels are questionable - you can get through the game without much thought due to the shorter levels which are split into smaller linear sections, but once you've played through the game once and then try to do the challenges there's a little more variety. Most levels do not require you to kill a target, but rather to infiltrate an area (read: get from door A to door B, much like a puzzle-platformer). There's generally very descent variety in the aesthetics and context of the levels; not so much in how they play however. This game is much more cinematic and story-driven, so the levels kinda link together rather than being a list of missions to kill unrelated targets. This Hitman game is "A Personal Contract", and is portrayed quite well. The characters are not deeply developed but are presented well. If you're expecting this to be a "true" Hitman game you may be disappointed by some of the changes but ignoring that and viewing it as a "next-gen" approach, it's a much more rewarding way to view the game. This may not be the most ingenious Hitman or have the best levels, but it certainly has a lot of polish and oozes "AAA" quality which is hard to ignore and discredit.

Endless possibilities. You have free flowing freedom within beautifully designed environments throughout the whole game. This freedom enables you to create your own fun, I mean who doesn't love assassinating somebody in 11 different ways? The story of Agent 47 is also quite fun to progress through. A few irritating AI flaws as well as weak multiplayer hold it back a bit, but Absolution should be remembered as one of this generations most fun, free and awesome single player experiences.

Hitman: Absolution is a game that surprised me. I had never played the series prior, and had no idea what to expect. What I found was a game with a solid narrative, great gameplay, strong graphics, and much more.
