Hitman Absolution: is it like previous games.

I had a look at Gamespots review but I don't think it gave enough information (it's also a Kevin VanOrd review so it's hard to beleive anything that is said) so i'm asking if it is like previous games or is it like Splinter Cell Crapviction. Is it a 2012 saver os series destroyer?

What review?

Kevin VanOrd reviewd it so it will be hard to take the review seriously. He gave it a 7.5/10.

I just watched the IGN review and read the Gameinformer I think it is still like previous games (apart from that wrestling part I saw on YouTube), althought I did get a little worried when I herd the words 'Splinter Cell Conviction' in the IGN review.

It's only for their mark/execute feature. Beyond that, most reviews that I've read says that it's still a Hitman game at its core, especially at the highest level settings.

I thought it was SC:Conviction when they showed the first gameplay and hated it, then they showed more or a level and how it really plays out and I was hyped, then I watched the review and found out they had mark and execute gameplay in it (further making it like conviction) and Batmans detective vision in it and my hype for the game died.A lot of reviews showed a lot of cover shooting and stuff like that. It could be a good game but it doesn't look like older Hitmans anymore sadly.

I think this was in direct response of how the action/stealth genre should be these days. Plus, I'm sure that's what the makers and their bosses wanted out of it and I'm sure there must have been a huge argument about it, but had to include it in anyway.

The KVO hate train needs to stop. A 7.5 is still a respectable score for a game. People need to stop acting like spoiled brats just because they think every game deserves a 9.5. Get over yourselves and more importantly stop basing your entire life around a stupid number. The constant whining and b*tching is getting old.Kravyn81

I'm not too worried about the mark and execute or detective vision, but from the footage I've seen it looks like even the more sandboxy levels still expect you to do some hiding in the shadows or use instinct to avoid detection and that has me questioning if I should pick it up.

7.5 is bad?

I don't see why the Kevin VanOrd hate train needs to stop, if anything, it needs more steam. 7.5 may look like a respectable score but game critics review it like it's meh, game critics make a 7.0 game look terrible.RageQuitter69

Can't argue with that (you'd be amazed by how many treat a 7 like a 5), but Kevin's already gone on the record numerous times to say that he wants to change the perception of a 7 being bad. Nothing in the text made it sound like he was "meh" on the game. He was pretty positive about it over Twitter, too.
