DESCRIPTION
Resume the role of cold contract killer Agent 47 and arm yourself for new missions of meticulous planning and expert execution. Following the breakthrough success of the PC original Codename 47 and the mainstream popularity of its cross-platform sequel Silent Assassin, this third title in the Hitman series is designed to refine the stealth-action control scheme and revamp the graphical presentation, while maintaining the tradition of dark, morally ambivalent storytelling that has shown the efficient, mysterious protagonist to be much more than a mindless trigger-jockey.
As in the earlier games, a large part of the Hitman's work is in gaining the needed understanding about his target and surroundings. While a job may be finished with a single, split-second shot, a great deal of preparation often must come first. Proper surveillance can be invaluable, as understanding the movements and routines of each target means understanding the opportunities and risks of each job. Players will choose from an assortment of possible weapons, each appropriate for different situations. This third tale begins in Paris, where Agent 47 finds himself alone, trapped, and wounded. As usual, steel-nerved skill may be all that saves the silent assassin from his own swift execution. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“I got this game when Blood Money came out in order to see whether the gameplay was interesting (sadly enough there's no rental anywhere near me and it's even been outlawed some time ago <). If you hadn't noticed yet, I didn't get get Blood Money so I guess you'll knwo I wasn't too thrilled about it...
+ The stealth aspect of the game works like a charm and is really pleasent. Due to the different set-up in the levels we get to see the full extent of the system and I like it :D
+ More than a single path, all (or at least most) objectives can be completed in different ways.
- Sadly enough there is little to no story and only 12 levels..
- Like I said: the stealth is awesome... but the shooting isn't. Once you get spotted it often turns into a shoot em up for quite some time.
- You've got too much life for a stealth game and too little for the shoot 'em up part.
- Controls are rather clunky. Not a problem with the stealth parts but the shooting controls are awfull.
In short: nice game, decent graphics but once the stealth is gone a shallow game is left behind. Sometimes it feels like they didn't know how to get the balance right.”

“A huge improvement over its predecessor, this remake of the first game featured stunning locales with lots to explore, offering even more ways to eliminate your targets. Achieving the Silent Assassin rating on every mission was a blast.”
