Hitman: Blood Money

[elfneedsfood]

So I downloaded the demo on Live. I wasn't expecting anything at all, but I like this game. I'll probably buy it when it goes on sale. I probably would have never given this game a look if it hadn't been for the demo, but check it out. It's decent.

Thanks for the heads up, elf. I didn't realize there was going to be a demo on XBL.

Funny, my experience was the exact opposite. I was mildly interested in picking the 360 version up, but thought the demo was total shit. I'm quite pleased that I won't be wasting $60, at least.

Really liked Hitman 2, but haven't been able to get back into the series since.

Andy to English translation:

I'll wait for the PS3 version.

[Andy]

I love Xbox.

[AaronChance]

No, for once Andy is right. The demo was complete shit. It looks and plays just like all the other Hitman games have done before it, which is damn awkward now after all the advancements games like Splinter Cell have done to the genre. You'd think they'd at least let you fireman carry dead bodies, but no, you're still very, very slowly dragging them behind you... meh.

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it though. I've seen movies of TR.

The new Tomb Raider does look a lot better on 360. I don't think that game is all it's cracked up to be (assy combat), personally, but it did look pretty good.

I'm sad this company actually thought up the Hitman license. It seems like a great concept that begs for a better team to mold it. The creative aspirations always fall short because of technical and talent limitations. If a better developer had the chance to better render them out this series could have been something special.

Just play Hitman 2. The original and Contracts sucked ass.

The first part of Hitman 2, maybe. But the middle levels on are so buggy as to make the game unplayable if you're going for Stealth Assassin rating every time.

[Tain]

What's with the Contracts hate? I thought it was easily a better game than Hitman 2.

Anyway, is the Blood Money demo level the abandoned amusement park? If so, I can assure you that it's absolutely the worst, most basic, and linear level in the game.

Isnt it just a training level? I swear I read somewhere in the demo that it was a training level.
