Hitman: Contracts

**soundwave** · 14 Apr 2004, 04:27 AM

I can't believe there isn't an official thread yet for this game. It's out next week (4/20/2004) which means probably in store Wednesday. I enjoyed Hitman 2 so much that I beat it on both PC and the XBOX (just so I can pick up and play). The game is greatest hits on XBOX now so if you haven't played it yet it is worth picking up. I treat it more of a modern Tenchu than anything else. The multiple ways you can tackle a level are great and you can always choose between uber agressive or totally stealthy. The new game promises improved AI (squad tactics!?) some cool new weapons and better use of melee weapons along with better graphics. Who else is interested in this?

*raises hand*

Wrote the review/guide on the sequel and I enjoyed it immensely. I expect Contracts to an even bigger hit.

I've been meaning to pick up the second one, but I just can't seem to find it in a non platinum hits case. If I can find it in the original case and play it, then I'll pick up contracts. They seem like good enough games.

If you want the original box than I suggest getting a used copy otherwise check your Targets and Wal-Mart, they often mix plat and non-plat hits. The greatest hits box isn't that offensive. Do yourself a favor and pick the game up!

No I'm looking for used, but all I find are platinum cases. I don't buy greatest hits anything. period.

Loved the second one on the Xbox, I'll be picking this one up the day it drops. I believe I'll enjoy the more violent approach to 47's nature from all his past jobs. It sounds a whole lot better in terms of story this time around. Can't wait.

Well, While I was somewhat dissapointed by part 2 on Xbox, I am still very interested in the Contracts. The movies of it I've seen so far, show off some cool action and gameplay, and I always open for cool new action game.
