Dnan47

An amazing multiplayer online racing game, this one is a classic. Featuring amazing cars, the classic treasure hunt, and the all time favorite races, the game simply is amazing.

The game gets merit, but the vast majority of it comes from the credit of its predecessors. It has amazing graphics, and the create your own contracts feature just blows your mind away. With more accidents, excellent and vast pathways to kill your target, the game does deserve some credit. However, the storyline was a bit too greasy, that is, it didn't "feel" like the hitman storyline. The gameplay also was a bit linear. Some missions in the game felt completely pointless, and were there just for the sake of it. Having said that, it did feature some of the best missions in the series so far, like blackwater park and king of chinatown. But the game did seem to loose its true identity. Killing a wrestler publicly did make me feel like "what the hell am I doing?" Some features did show 47 going soft, which, according to me, was kind of pathetic. The only reason for the game to get an 8, is that it does bring out a few fragments of the classic features of the series, the awesome "create your own contracts" feature, and a variety of accidental kills. Nothing more.

This game is not just a pre-order bonus, but a game in itself. The first one to test your sniper, this game is just way to good. Challenging others, scoring up, and being precise in your sniping so as not to alert the enemy, the game has its personal merit, apart from the "hitman" name tag on it. Unfortunately, there is a choice of one and one only sniper rifle. Along with that, it features just 1 mission. It did deserve an 8.5, but unfortunately there is no such score.

Blood money. The name itself is enough to say that the game was awesome. Excellent features, lovely accidents, amazing graphics, variety of weapons, and most of all, the all-time assassin classic, hand to hand combat. 47 not only uses his good old weapons, but brings out the professional assassin in him. Human shield is one of them. With the game offering vast number of pathways to do your kill, like its predecessor, and bringing out key features of all the previous games, this game has more than one can imagine. Your weaponry, customize it all you like to your heart's content. What I personally feel was left out was that with the introduction of hand to hand combat, they could have added more assassin skills. The game is disguisely flawed, that is, you can't make out the flaw superficially. One has to go great depths of the game to find out those tiny little flaws. In general, it is like a pizza. You look at it and it seems perfect. Taste is, good enough. But actually eating piece by piece, you might find 1 or 2 flaws, like less cheese, or overcooked vegetable or meat. Well, that's my interpretation. So not one word, but 2, for the game. "Extremely good".

The game offers even more pathways to assassinate your target than the previous entries. With a new conceptual and ideal storyline to fill in the gaps, the game is dark, and pure stealth. Offering even more variety of weapons, not to mention all the classic snipers, along with dual wielding, not only of the silverballers, but other handguns, SMGs and shotguns. The game, unlike its predecessors, pushes you more towards accidental deaths. The game could have scored a perfect 10, but missed the mark. The story and graphics were excellent. The only flaw was to introduce the 4 Lee Hong missions, which I felt could have been avoided or substituted with other missions. Nevertheless, Contracts still manages to be one of the classiest stealth games ever.

Hitman 2 silent assassin is the best entry in the series so far, and the most sold one. Increasing difficulty and pressure on stealth, the game actually brings up challenges, not only to assassinate the target, but to enter and escape the area undetected is a key feature that makes this game stand tall on its own accord. The game offers a variety of weapons like its predecessor, and takes you through an amazing storyline spread along 21 missions. For me, this game beats all records of stealth games so far.

Codename 47 was a classic game and really good for 2000. The rag-doll physics seemed perfect with the blend of a classic storyline and good features, including moderate graphics and a vast choice of weapons. All of this under one genre, stealth. It could have added a few more options like in-game saves, 2-3 more missions and create a more interactive environment.
