Now the Square Enix family are dipping their feet into the mobile (Android and iOS) world of gaming with the release of Hitman GO, a game based around Agent 47 and his antics all in miniature form."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The stealth genre is one that some would argue doesn’t even exist – many titles include stealth elements, but actually fit into one of a number of other genres like action, platformer, or third-person shooter. Ever since the breakout success of the Metal Gear franchise (in particular Metal Gear Solid), though, the genre seems on much more stable footing and it demonstrated that you can have a veritable blockbuster on your hands relying only on stealth mechanics as the main gameplay element.
In recent years we’ve seen other things like Assassin’s Creed, Hitman and Splinter Cell continue to push the genre forward, although it still has somewhat limited appeal. Thankfully, the Vita has a healthy selection of stealth games available (and even more with backwards-compatibility), meaning if you’re looking to do some sneaking on the go then you’ll be well served with the console."
Square Enix just released the first episode of its series dedicated to the GO versions of Hitman, Tomb Raider / Lara Croft and Deus Ex.
Wishful thinking that they'd try to revive the series. Sort of annoying that a sequel is still 50/50.
All three critically-acclaimed titles – Hitman GO, Lara Croft GO and Deus Ex GO – are now available for the first time in one bundle.
I love Hitman games. But I hope that SE and IO interactive will port some of the Hitman games to PS Vita and 3DS.. If they can make a Hitman game to iOS then I'm pretty sure that they could do it on portable gaming system as well.
Great game, I don't usually play mobile games but it was a great unique take on the series and they definitely put a lot of thought into designing it. I recommend it to any fans of the hitman series.
