Hitman Contracts

Hitman Contracts

Strengths: Excellent shooter based missions.

Weakness: Kind of repetitive, aiming is hard to do.

Graphics and sound are definitely excellent, plenty of missions and weapons. It does seem as though the missions are repetitive after a while, and the aiming can be aggravating at times, but overall a good game. If you like the Hitman series or stealth action, this is a good addition to your collection!

Hitman Contracts

Strengths: Great stealth action, extremely well done atmosphere, great graphics and sounds, lots of open gameplay in some levels, improved controls

Weakness: Lack of assistance in gameplay may not be for everyone, M-rated for a reason

Hitman Contracts returns to the role of 47, super assassin for hire. As an assassin, it's important to work through the missions without being spotted for being such, so disguises and stealth play an important role in surviving through the mission to the end. There are plenty of ways to accomplish a mission, and there isn't a great deal of assistance to point out how to do it. This lack of "hand...

Hitman Contracts (Xbox

Strengths: good graphics

Weakness: no free roaming

A good action packed stealth game. You play as Agent 47 who travels the globe to eliminate corrupt politicians, terrorists, and crime bosses. Interactive environments in which you can pick up other things to use as weapons.

Hitman Contracts

Strengths: Graphics, game play, storyline

Weakness: Controls

This game is definitely fun to play. It is similar to the other Hitman games, in particular, Hitman 2. You play as Agent 47, a hired assassin trained to take out numerous enemies. There are multiple difficulty settings and on some of the higher settings, you will have to use stealth and wit to accomplish your goal, rather than gunning everybody down. The graphics are solid, although they look...

Nonlinear!

Strengths: Immersive experience and nothing else really like it

Weakness: Well, besides the previous games which it does not stray from

Levels in Hitman might be frustrating because it is unclear what exactly you should be doing and where you should be going. When you start out on a big map and can go anywhere, until you get the hang of choosing your own adventure, the experience can be frustrating. All the moreso if it feels like you are just trial, error and dieing your way to the "right" path. Figuring out your own solution is...

More open-ended contract killing.

Strengths: Open-ended gameplay, level design, AI

Weakness: Flashback based-storyline, controls can be a bit of a hassle

Little has changed in this game, the third title in the Hitman series, from its predecessors. You still read your briefings, look at the map and plan out how to take out your mission objective. Mission difficulty varies from frolics to frustrations, so use that difficulty setting wisely. The AI proves to be a formidable foe to outwit at times. Levels are nicely detailed and work well for adding...

Fans of Hitman (or stealth games in general) will...

Strengths: Great graphics, excellent mood/style/gameplay

Weakness: Same old, same old gameplay

I am a huge fan of the Hitman series, so I was excited to unwrap my copy of Hitman Contracts. I loved the first two games in this series and I knew I would love this one. I felt a little…empty though, like I wanted more. That’s due to the fact that this is the same old Hitman gameplay. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it just means this game leaves you with a taste of “rehash”...

Agent 47 literally and figuratively returns for more...

Strengths: Great sound and voice acting, good combination of stealth and action gameplay, gritty realistic atmosphere, freedom to choose how you complete each mission, value retail price

Weakness: Short overall length, inconsistent graphics, faulty collision detection, trial-and-error gameplay, no health power-ups, disjointed storyline, vague mission objectives

If you enjoyed Agent 47's previous console outing Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, you'll probably enjoy his latest adventure, but be advised going in that Contracts not only doesn't break much new ground but also retreads some levels from the previous games. As Agent 47 you can use stealth and cunning to go unnoticed as you accomplish each of your missions, or you can simply run and gun like you would...

Not Quite Up to Hitman Quality

Strengths: Good Action, Well done Stealth, Great Sound Effects

Weakness: Is pretty short, Repetitive, Clunky control/response

Hitman Contracts is the third game in the Hitman series. As in the previous two games, you play the role of Agent 47, a silent assassin. At the beginning of the game, you are morally wounded by an unknown cause. The game ends up being mostly flashbacks where you try to find out what happened to yourself. The game will only take 8-10 hours to complete and I found it quite easy. Even on the hardest...

Hitman Contracts

Strengths: Good story

Weakness: Graphics are not up to todays standards

Hitman Contracts is the 3rd game in the Hitman series. Never playing a Hitman game before, I felt myself drawn into its dark work. I really enjoyed the story here, as it reminded me of some good Gangster movies. Game does take a little getting used to, but all in all, it was a good purchase since it can be bought online for usually under $10.
