"Bloody Brilliant" yet "Wickedly Dull"
User Rating: 9 | Hitman: Contracts XBOX
Although most people still believe that Hitman:Silent Assasin was the best in the series, I believe Contracts should be. Hitman Contracts has its ups and downs. First of all, it has the same controls, which make it easier to play and it is still fun to see how many different ways you can kill a person. Yet most levels are remakes from Codename 47. But the levels have been faithfully recreated. The level, the Beldingford Manor is one of the best as it allows so many ways to kill your target. Contracts has twice as many ways to rid your target then Silent Assasin. In Beldingford Manor, you can poison the targets mik, shoot him while hes doing his business in the bathroom, or suffocate him. You can also rid his son by placing a bomb in the chimney or poisoning his whiskey. Another great level is the Traditions of the Trades level which takes place in the Hotel Gallear from Codename 47. You can eliminate one target in so many ways like drowning him, straight foward shooting him, sniper him from the top of the pool, posion his whiskey, and frying him in the sauna. Great levels but there aren't enough of them. There are only 12 and you can take them out in 40 mins. or less. Ups + easy controls + still has rag dolling (which makes you fling enemies in awesome ways like shooting them in the head and having them do a backflip) + fun levels and many alternate ways to kill targets + stays fun Downs - only twelve levels - quick levels - usually dumb A.I.
