Hitman: Contracts Reviews

Feels like the first proper hitman game in the series after playing Agent 47 and Silent Assassin. Reworks the Rotterdam and Hong Kong segments from Agent 47 and gives them new life. Since the former was the absolute worst part of that game it was amazing seeing how they made in actually enjoyable to play.

Great ideas and atmosphere executed poorly. Some baffling design decisions, overly strict methods of completion and a bit of jank go a long way to butchering the gameplay experience. Not worth your time.

Very first Hitman game I've ever played, and the one with the best atmosphere too.

çokta gizlilik kasmadan taradım çoğu bölüm. neden? çünkü ilk oyunun bölümlerini remakelemişler. ben aynı oyunu oynamak istemiyom zaten bok gibiydi ilk oyunda, bu oyunda da kalitesi düşmüş. ama yeni yapılan bölümler serinin en iyi bölümleri bile olabilirler. çok keyifli ve karanlık temaları var. soundtrack jesper kyd'den çıkma kötü olma ihtimali yok zaten oyunun girişinde adamın kendine özel creditsi var MUSİC BY JESPER KYD diye. böyle daşşaklı bir adam işte.

Really nice game! My favourite levels were the last ones, which are the first Hitman CD 47 missions reimagined and they look really cool! The only downside is that it is the smallest game in the series, beaten in about 2-3 hours.

Hitman: Contracts is another solid entry in the Hitman series. Serving as sort of a prelude to Blood Money and a remake of the first title, Contracts' story is more about providing backstory on Agent 47 instead of introducing anything new. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing as Contracts has some of the best missions in the series up to this point. Moreover, some of the mechanics from Silent Assassin have been tweaked to be more fluid and less frustrating; you can sprint without being spotted instantly. With that being said, there are some missions that fall short. More specifically, the Codename 47 remakes. While they are improved in some ways, nearly all of the remade levels lack the charm and character present in the original. Still, even though Contracts has some lackluster missions, it's still a great game that brings some much-welcome changes to the series. For fans of Silent Assassin, I'd suggest giving Contracts a try.

This game has very frustrating mission design. But guess what! That's the fun part!!!! Watch This - https://youtube.com/live/BRNI0OHSBEE

21 years after its release, I finally got around to playing Hitman: Contracts. Was it worth the wait? Well... As a fan of the Hitman franchise since 2003, when I impulsively purchased Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, these games were a large part of my early gaming years, fostering a love (or maybe just a humble appreciation) for the stealth genre, alongside Splinter Cell, another impactful stealth action series. I'd heard plenty of things about Contracts and its darker, more moody atmosphere and tone - and boy, is that right. Contracts sets itself apart from its predecessor (Silent Assassin) and successor (Blood Money) by confidently leaning into a more gritty, quasi-realistic approach for its missions and targets, something future entries in the series would come to emulate. It's perhaps the darkest (tone-wise) of any game in the series, and it uses this to its benefit across the game's 12 missions. Contracts is presented within a frame narrative, as the outside story is of Agent 47 recuperating in a squalid Paris hotel room after a botched job (later referenced as a playable mission in Blood Money), fading in and out of lucidity, and the inside stories are a series of flashbacks he experiences of previous missions - contracts that made him who he is. For the first half of the game these missions are fairly approachable and offer plenty of clear and outlined options for assassinating your targets, although for better or for worse this does change as the game nears its action-packed finale. Hitman veterans will likely quickly pick up on the game's mechanics, utilizing disguises, hiding bodies, and remaining relatively unseen as they work to complete their objectives. It's not the globe-trotting adventure of Silent Assassin, but it is a more focused, personal story, one that references past games while also setting up the franchise's future. While the missions offer plenty of variety, this does begin to diminish as the game approaches its last few jobs. As well, issues that plagued the final third of Silent Assassin unfortunately rear their ugly heads again - chief among them being the unreliability of some disguises. In the first half of the game, just about any disguise offered you near-perfect concealment from suspicious or questioning eyes, but in the second half it becomes more of a toss-up; if in the first half of the game you could simply walk past an enemy without them batting an eye, the second half will have enemies catching a slight whiff of you from across a room and before you know it you're wondering why your disguise has 47 bullet-sized holes in it. The presentation hold up quite well, even by 2004 standards, and even though every mission is soaked in rain (or snow, in the case of one) the graphics are quite sharp and give the aforementioned moody atmosphere a nice sheen. Jesper Kyd returns to compose and conduct the score, which has a more electronic feel this time around, perhaps echoing the more clinical approach you take in this game as opposed to its predecessors. It makes sense that this game was developed alongside Blood Money, because many features, mechanics, and even bits of music found their way into both games - although to much greater execution in the latter. Overall, Hitman: Contracts may feel like a glorified expansion rather than a solid, standalone entry, but it does enough to set itself apart from its predecessors while simultaneously ushering in a new era for the franchise, one that would take it into the next generation and beyond.

First ill start by saying IF YOU BUY THIS IT'S 20 YEARS OLD expect some issues you'll need to download patches for. Don't come crying because you're dumb with anything this old expect it to need to help getting out of bed before it's ready to go. Genuinely amazing game, I've been playing through the old hit man's and having played some of the newer one's as well I loved how dark and gritty this game was. It felt like postal 2 and manhunt had a child, the music and the game play and the targets all really make you feel like you're the horror these people fear.

One of The Best Ones in Hitman Games Series < Classic and Amusing (Highly Recommended If You Have Not Played Yet)...😍👌
