GAME OVERVIEW
Key Features
HITMAN: Absolution follows cold-blooded assassin Agent 47™ as he takes on his most dangerous—and personal—contract to date.
Betrayed by those he once trusted and hunted by the police, Agent 47 finds himself caught in the center of a dark conspiracy and propelled through a corrupt and twisted world.
Donning the suit of this legendary assassin, you become a deadly marksman with the ability to blend into plain sight, kill with your bare hands, and fashion weapons from almost anything.
Take on the role of Agent 47 and his many extraordinary talents, then ask: what kind of Hitman are you?

HITMAN: ABSOLUTION PROFESSIONAL EDITION also includes advanced access to a range of in-game Agency Weapons, giving the Original Assassin a deadly edge over his enemies from the outset. The Agency Jagd P22G pistol will suit the silent assassins, whilst the Agency HX UMP SMG and the Agency SPS 12 semi-automatic shotgun will give Agent 47 the power to fight his foes head on.

Hitman: Absolution follows Agent 47, a cold blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he trusted and hunted by the police, he finds himself at the centre of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world, in his search for the truth.
- Choice: You are the ultimate assassin, as talented as you are ruthless. You decide how to lay your target low.

- Disguises: In the Hitman series, your ability to disguise yourself as someone else has always been a pre-eminent feature and always been one of 47's most powerful tools.

A word of caution though, the world will react to your disguise so choose your target carefully.

Answer: When it's Hitman Absolution.
Background information: I have played all the Hitman games before and if you want to know what made the Hitman games so great and why this title was eagerly anticipated, play Hitman Blood Money.
Then when you come to play this you won't recognise the series. They try to share similarities but what made the original Hitman series great was the complete open-ended way you can play the game. Basically you are presented with a 'playground' to kill your target(s) and it's over to you, your exploration and imagination how you do it.]
Hitman Absolution wants to 'hold your hand' and show you what to do down linear, console-type gameplay.
Yes you can increase the difficulty to release the 'helping hand' but I found this almost impossible to play and, more importantly, enjoy.
It has been mentioned before but had this game been call Splinter Cell : Hitman you would know what to expect.
That said once you get past this initial disappointment it does become enjoyable for what it wants to be and you start to learn how the game wants itself to be played.
With my modest 1360x768 resolution, nvidia gts 450 and Athlon ii x3 440, I managed all settings maxed out, apart from msaa which kills your FPS. I must say the game does look and feel superb. you will be treated to a lot of great eye-candy.
The story to be honest is forgettable and characters are pathetic, but forget that as nothing can beat sneaking around, timing your silent kill move, dragging the body and dumping in a conveniently located garbage bin, just before the guard turns the corner. even if he does see you just pull out a dual-wielding weapon and fill him full of lead....then put HIM in the bin.
All in all it took me a couple of weeks at 1-2 hrs per night to finish and there's endless replayabilty as you strive to increase your 'Hitman Rating'.
I picked it up for around tenner and if you do that you will get decent value for money.

I bought this for my 27 year old son at his request for Christmas. He has raved about it ever since and seems very happy with the game content.

This game is AWESOME, is beautiful, and I think that is the apotheosis of the HItman. The section of the graphics is very well, with good effects with the sun and with the moom, too. One of the best game of the 2012.
And Amazon.co.uk is perfect, too.

Skip!
I was expecting more. Buy 2nd hand if you must play it! I am still a huge fan of Blood Money. The fact that you can now play it again online for free is a huge plus! Read more
