Giving this a go for the first time and I can't believe Al from Toy Story 2 is my first target.

Bloody Brilliant

Without a doubt the best Hitman game in the PS2 era of the series, Blood Money is visually stunning and mechanically better than the other games.

With loads of ways to carry out your contracts, you have more freedom in approach than ever before and weapon upgrades are considerably more advanced and satisfying.

Definitely a worthy installment that greatly plays …

Definitely a worthy installment that greatly plays into Agent 47's style along with a killer soundtrack.

I'm new to this franchise and I was looking for a game to start with. I think the first three Hitman games didn't aged well and they are a little hard to play. So I decided to start with Blood Money. I'm playing the enhanced version on PS4 and I'm happy with my choice. What I love about this game is that it just gives you a big map and the final targets. You Should find a way to assassinate them. You can pick a M4 and switch to first person view like it's a FPS game and kill all the guards to reach to your target. Or your can choose the harder and more professional way by being patient, plan your moves and use appropriate disguise to reach and kill your targets silently and then leave, like nothing happened at all. Playing this game is a unique experience that you can't have in any other game.

Must have

The first Hitman game that I enjoyed. It's entertaining and challenging at the same time. Except for the controls, it's a pretty decent game. Definitely worth trying out.

One of my favourite games of all time

A classic ruined by bad design choices

I really wanted to like this game. I'm sure that if i played this a decade ago i would've loved it. But the UI and controls are just so very very bad. Most items are used by left-clicking, but coins are thrown with G? There's an awful, confusing profile menu that pops up every time you play. Level selection is …

I really wanted to like this game. I'm sure that if i played this a decade ago i would've loved it. But the UI and controls are just so very very bad. Most items are used by left-clicking, but coins are thrown with G? There's an awful, confusing profile menu that pops up every time you play. Level selection is a mess. Firing a gun is awful because you can't aim so there's a delay every time you start firing. Clean headshots don't count half the time.

This game had a lot of good ideas and eventually those resulted in a fantastic game (Hitman 2016). But even if you don't have a problem with 12 year old graphics, dealing with its many other shortcomings isn't something i would recommend.

Hitman Blood Money PC Game Review

Super fun stealth/action game, very cool mechanics and great graphics for its time. Had a really good time with it, albeit sometimes confusing as I'm terrible with directions even with a map and compass provided. The voice acting is, in my opinion, exceptional, and I marvel at how current gen games can have such high production values yet have sub-par …

Super fun stealth/action game, very cool mechanics and great graphics for its time. Had a really good time with it, albeit sometimes confusing as I'm terrible with directions even with a map and compass provided. The voice acting is, in my opinion, exceptional, and I marvel at how current gen games can have such high production values yet have sub-par voice acting.

The musical scores in this game are great as well, with the ending song that plays over the credit very suiting and memorable. The levels are all well designed and you can spend hours upon hours finding new things and different ways to completing a level, whether you want to go for stealth or gun-blazing, it gives you many choices on how you want to play.

I'd give it a 7/10 for graphics, 8/10 for gameplay, 7.5/10 for story, and 8.5/10 for voice acting and music.

Total playtime: 18 hours
