Reviews
An excellent trilogy at a
great price
The Hitman series is
wonderfully composed in terms of gameplay, graphics, lasting appeal, and
music. All three of these games play differently Silent Assassin being
the longest, Contracts being the most confusing (in terms of story), and
Blood Money being the most creative.
If you've never played the
Hitman series before, you'll find all of this content fresh and new.
Contracts is actually mostly a remake of the first game (not included in
this Trilogy, there are actually 4 Hitman games). I suggest that you
play them in the order of Silent Assassin, Contracts, then Blood Money.
The reason being is that Blood Money is the most open-ended of the
three, and features the most realistic AI that will not freak out as
much as the earlier titles. Although the AI is different in the earlier
titles, it doesn't necessarily mean they were worse, but I think you
will find that Blood Money will be your favorite.
Aside from the
excellent gameplay, you will probably find the music very impressive.
The music in these three games were composed by Jesper Kyd, with the
help of the Budapest Symphony Orchestra in some of them. Silent Assassin
features an overwhelmingly intimidating soundtrack akin to the Imperial
March from Star Wars. Contracts features more electronic-style music
(not techno), while Blood Money returns to a more orchestral style,
featuring an excellent rendition of Ave Maria.
Overall, the
Hitman series turned out to be my favorite single-player shooter games.
Blood Money is my personal favorite. You'll find that the game has a
very high replay value, as you can achieve higher ratings based on your
performance in the missions, and there are more and more ways to
complete the missions, especially in Blood Money.
Very Good
I did not buy the Hitman
Trilogy, but I have played every single game in the series and I must
say that eidosinteractive did a fantastc job with Hitman. Just recently,
I decided to re-download Hitman Codename 47 and Hitman 2 Silent
Assassin to add to the other two titles I have (Contracts and
Bloodmoney) From the previous comments, it appears that there seems to
be some sort of incompatibility issue with Vista Operatig systems. The
easiest way to solve that problem is to go to the hitman2silentassassin
set up icon/shortcut, right click on it, and go to properties. once in
properties, click on the compatibility tab and go to "run this program
in compatibilty mode for" area (select the radio button next to it) and
select the operating system you want the game to be installed in. For
Hitman 2, I selected Windowx XP. Once you do that, you should be all
set. The game will install fine and will run with no problems. I don't
know whether Contracts or Bloodmoney will run in Vista, but if they
don't, just use the above method to solve the problem. I installed
Codeman47 with no problems and hopefully I can run it in Vista without
having to do the compatibility thing. Hope this helps...
Besides the Vista Issue....
The trilogy is great. There's
something darkly funny about dropping a piano on someone. XD
The
gameplay is simply amazing. The Ai is pretty much human or close.
I'd
recommend it to anyone looking for a challenge and for those who just
love stelth games.
Hitman: Silent Assassins-9/10

Contracts-10/10
