If you have already played any of the other
Hitman titles, you will already have an idea about what you will need to be
doing during the game, but then again the title kind of gives it away! You once
again play Agent 47, the genetically changed hitman killing machine. Firstly
I have to state that the game finally has a very good story line that works
well and keeps you wanting to know more as the game goes on.
The main changes gameplay wise are that the
game now runs in a monetary system, this is a good idea and it works well, a
Hitman is after all, paid for his clean hits. So how does this work? Well depending
on how high you have the difficulty set, it is spread out over how clean your
hit comes off, leave bodies lying around, get noticed by the public etc means
that you overall wage at the end of the level will drop down. The problem here
is that due to the new Notoriety system, you will end up wanting to kill nearly
everyone you come into contact with simply because they may have witnessed you
killing someone off. If you don't do this, people will start to know who you
are via photo-fits and surveillance tapes.
