Hitman: Blood Money Images

More Atari reviews , RRP: AU$110.00

The good:

  • Open-ended stealth action gameplay lets you sneak or run and gun
  • Beautifully crafted mission set pieces seem appropriately big and complex
  • Large variety of realistic weapons, but they're not the only way to do the job
  • Good replay value for a single-player-only game

The bad:

  • Non-player characters sometimes behave unrealistically, especially in combat
  • Many of the series' minor cosmetic problems haven't been fixed
  • New notoriety system feels half-baked

The bottomline:

While the underlying stealth action is mostly unchanged from the previous Hitman games, a diverse sequence of imaginative scenarios gives Blood Money its own fair share of violent thrills.
