This game takes the cake for sure. I have nevered played the Hitman series so this is new to me. I have played every single game for the 360 and this one is one of the best right now. Sure the graphics could be a little better but it is sure better than most of them out there. I have played oblivion for weeks but this game has way more entertainment value than that game. Where can you be a deadly assasain or if you want just take out the M4 and sweep the city. I think this game is a must have! My only gripe would be maybe to have more action with the controls rather than just hitting up to jump gaps and windows and stuff. For the most part the game is fantastic. You have different ways to play the game and to master.… Expand

Having only played the first hitman game and dumping it within a few days due to poor controls i was happy to find out the controls have been revised and IMHO benefit the game greatly. It really is an assassination game and playing it like a FPS will oftern end up with you hitting the canvas pretty quickly. This game will reward you for your patience and although sometimes a little skirmish may be unavoidable the game is quite forgiving aslong as you can find a good hiding place till things cool down. The levels are well thought out and, in some cases, alot of fun to walk round. The music fits the game well and apart from a few minor flaws the gameplay is good. After finishing the game once i couldnt really bring myself to go back through it again so the replay value isnt great but there are worst things you can spend £50 on for this console.… Expand

This is a great game. Nothing feels better than watching all of your time and effort pay off, and by that I mean the PERFECT KILL. Sure it can take some time, but what better puzzle to solve than the completion of an assasins contract. Good graphics, great level design,and those Eureeka! moments. Priceless.

Intelligent game, that really does give you a huge range of options per mission. The guns blazing option is a big no-no on the higher diffiulties, or even the later stages on the easiest difficulty - you have to consider every move carefully, who may stumble across the mess you make, will it benefit you to murder that person, can you just sneak by, dressed as a guard, or in one case, clown, instead.

Some of the levels in this game can be pretty hard, but very rewarding due to the fact that you can approach almost every situation how you see fit. I consider this game to be an instant classic on the 360 and I would recommend it to anyone.

This is a great game. Plan your attack, walk among the crowds of civilians as they are unaware that you are an assassin. Wear disguises, infiltrate mansions, houses, parties, weddings, hotels and protected VIPs. Kill your targets however you want, and get out without anyone noticing. At least that's the idea - it's up to you if you want to go nuts. What you did is covered in the newspaper at the end of the mission. Do it properly, and you are noted as the "Silent Assassin" - with no extra casualities. Go crazy, and you are a "terrorist", "madman" or "deranged slayer". AI is not perfect and can be exploited at at times - but this is actually the only franchise of this kind. There are no other assassination simulators that work to this degree. So despite some flaws, I have to recommend this game. It works almost all the time, once you understand how the AI behaves. Playing through first time, you might take out one or two guys who get in your way. Play through again, and you can try to find the best way to get in and out without disturbing anyone. Play through some more, and you will find more unique ways to complete the mission - or find ways to kill everyone without blowing your cover. It's a dream for misanthropes everywhere!… Expand

Having played through the PC version countless times, I have to admit that the Xbox 360 version is by no means a lazy port like Hitman 2 was for the PS2. If you're used to playing in 1920x1080 on PC you will be overwhelmed by the gigantic HUD and menus but other than that lower resolution, slightly worse framerate (although not major or impacting on gameplay, barely noticeable) and grainier, aliased textures and lighting, it's definitely a viable game for this platform. Controls are actually more suited to the controller and it seems like it's been designed for console because it doesn't control like an FPS-style third person where you can't look at your character. It is nice that they have kept the ability to go into first person by simply clicking the right analog stick. Best of all, it doesn't feel cheap or clunky at all, and can be useful and more fun if you want to rambo through some of the levels. Buttons are logically laid out, smooth and simple to pick up and adjust. If you've yet to try a Hitman game and you own an Xbox 360, this is by far the best place to start. It's the most accessible and most suited to 7th generation. It will please both veterans and newcomers alike.… Expand
