Serious letdown

User Rating: 3.2 | Hitman: Contracts PC
By bartreligion | Review Date:
I enjoyed Hitman Blood Money so I looked back to the previous installment of the Hitman series for some more sneaky killing fun. Only to be seriously let down. Graphically it has aged well but the flawed AI make this game impossible to enjoy as guards will shoot you for no reason despite having a perfect cover. Example, in the second mission you're just walking around the party when suddenly people start panicking around you and guards come runningin guns blazing at you. Game over and you can think of is "errr, what just happend?"
Another point of irritation is the lack of fire modes on your weapons. There's no single shot on SMG so taking a bad guy out with a single clean shot is out of the question. You'll fire away your entire clip in no time and get shot while reloading.
Broken game.
