  • Summary: When assassins from Agent 47's contract agency, The ICA, are systematically eliminated in a series of hits, it seems a larger, more powerful agency has entered the fray. For Agent 47 it's business as usual, until suddenly he loses contact with The ICA. Sensing that he may be the next target, he travels to America, where he prepares to make a killing. Agent 47 is back and this time he's paid in cold, hard cash. How the money is spent will affect his passage through the game and the weapons at his disposal, resulting in a unique gameplay experience for each player. Powered by a new version of Io's stunning Glacier engine, Hitman: Blood Money delivers the most brutal and realistic simulation of life as the world's deadliest assassin. Expand

    An epic experience from beginning to end, filled with dark humour, lots of action and most importantly the perfect blend of engrossing story and engaging gameplay. Throw in some sumptuous visuals and atmospheric sounds and you've got one of the best games of 2006 so far.
  2. If you're a Hitman fan, Blood Money will make you fall in love all over again, and if you never dipped your toes in 47's particular brand of wetwork yet, the time has never been more ripe. [June 2006, p.74]
  3. Hitman: Blood Money for Xbox might not be a revolutionary step into new territory but it's still a wickedly enjoyable romp that is sure to please longtime fans of the series.
  4. Blood Money feels only slightly closer to the series' ideal of a gameworld that's both complex and cogent, and is more accessible and entertaining with it. [July 2006, p.80]

    I kind of have some mixed feelings about this game. I don't think Blood Money was quite as good as Hitman 2, but it was not bad either. The story was interesting and the surprise ending was done pretty nicely. Graphics, sound, gameplay are all there and give this game greate look and feel. Missions were pretty interesting too, for most part. Some where too short, I thought. All locations are quite memorable too. I only wish this game was somewhat longer. With only 13 missions I finished it in 2 days. Hitman 2 had like a whopping 22, now that was awesome. Still, Hitman Blood Money is a great game that definitely deserves recognition. Expand
