People seem to not really think much of hitman 1 - at least judging by the reviews of hitman 2, which I am yet to play.
I do have to say that I thought the game was pretty good - yes you can't save - and sometimes it is frustrating. But nothing in the game is so hard that there is any real risk of getting it wrong and having to restart the mission - if you perform the task correctly. And at the end of each level you have always done a perfect mission!
Graphics and sound are OK - AI is a bit hit and miss but I didn't think the story was weak or levels unstructured. If you replay missions there is often more than one way of doing it which is something missing in games like Soldier of Fortune or Dungeon Siege which are totally linear.
Anyway - for a fiver you can't go wrong.
I am looking foward to giving hitman 2 a try.

Hitman is a wierd game to pick up at first. It's not your average blast athon but a thinking shooter which forces you to think about the options available before going forward. Told you it was weird.
You play as 47, a wierd and mysterious Hitman who is called upon to kill some people who unbeknowst to him, are linked to his forgotten past and origins.
The story isn't well told and there are certain gaps which leave unanswered questions. The graphics aren't special. Mediocre at best but the cream on the cake for this game has to be the gameplay. Stealth is the key.
You can dress up as people and try to infiltrate the base from the inside out or you could sniper the 'target' from a nearby window. Or why don't you try using a car-bomb or poison their champaign. The choices are endless.
A.I is pretty poor. You can run around and no-one will suspect a thing. Or you could shoot someone and no-one will know he is missing. This takes a little of the challenge away and could have easily been rectified.
Finally, there isn't much in terms of replay value. Sure it's difficult but where are the secrets? There are none, that's where.
The final verdict is this:
Hitman is a decent attempt and amost scores a perfect 5/5 stars. However, poor A.I and no other challenges spoils it all.
Other than that it is a pretty good game!

I bought this game a couple of months ago with my boyfriend. We are hooked! It is a fantastic game, and at such a brilliant price. There are seperate gaming levels, adn of course, you have to assassinate somebody in each level. But, there are other tasks to complete along the way, such as setting up car bombs and opening safes etc. Trust me on this one, you will not be disappointed.

Good, but could do better
This is a superb game but it does have flaws, for me it is not long enough and filled with dodgy controls and graphics. Read more

VERY FRUSTRATING no saves...crazy
This is a great tactical game but ultimately frustrating, you get so far into a level but cannot save so if all goes pear shaped you have to go back to square one and do it all... Read more
