6 years ago Agent 47 made his first appearance on current generation consoles with Hitman: Blood Money, becoming a memorable cult classic the bald headed assassin disappeared without a trace, until now. Hitman: Absolution brings back 47 in one of his greatest tales to date, iO Interactive using their latest Glacier 2 engine have been able to provide a cinematic style narrative with some of the best stealth gameplay I have encountered. Absolution oozes atmosphere, from the unique musical score, to the gorgeously delivered cut scenes. Hitman’s latest adventure provides hardcore fans with the freedom of choice that the franchise is known for, but also providing those new to the series with an excellent display of how gameplay and narrative should complement one another. Absolution is one of 2012’s best titles, so it is time to slip into that silk lined suit, adjust that red tie my friends and grab your trusty silver ballers. Agent 4...
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
