Hitman: Codename 47 Reviews

First game in the series, nice graphics for its age but very complex missions that need guidance to complete. I actually wanted to have the full 2000s Hitman experience, so I left everything as it was, even the controls, making this game even harder, although it was quite fun. In the end, I just watched the entire walkthrough so I know the story to continue on the next game in the series.

I tried to get back into this game but it's just too cumbersome for controls. don't recommend unless real nostalgic

THIS is an old game, but for those of you searching for a pure stealth experience, Hitman: Codename 47 is definitely what you’re looking for. This game needs to be played in a very specific way—one wrong move, and you're DEAD. You'll FAIL a lot in every mission you take on, as enemy NPCs react EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVELY in this one. Disguises aren’t very useful—BEWARE OF DOGS! Your disguise is useless against them. This game will test your patience and timing—every second counts. Plan your moves carefully!

The controlling system is really annoying, but it's a highly-recommended game for any HITMAN lover.

What an irritating game! Very uncomfortable keyboard controls - the only 2 lame options. Graphics are old because it's an old game from 2000 which is understandable. What annoys me the most is the No Saving option, each time you die in a mission, you have to restart from beginning... I tried as long as I could, no thanks. Games without saving options shouldn't exist. Do NOT recommend!

buggy as all hell, very hard yet very fun

Nowadays this game is garbage, but.... There are many memories in this game. The beginning of the hitman story.

Kiddos these days and normies will never understand how groundbreaking this game was for its time when there was no other game where you could play as a hitman accomplishing missions in all the different ways you can imagine, especially for us in eastern european countries where most people grew up with a low budget ATi card and had to lower all settings to get a passable 20-25 FPS in most games we played, it is as hardcore as any other game from that time, either git gud or play something else, leave the classics to us old farts instead if you can't handle it, the XP era will forever be in my heart <3

This game honestly aged like milk, I understand this was IO's debut game for the franchise, but even a few years later, a lot of the gameplay mechanics and design choices were surpassed by other titles within the genre, it's a humble beginning, sure, but at the end of the day it is still a tedious and repetitive game, with janky mechanics, unpolished design, and undercooked gameplay that, as stated earlier, was outdone by subsequent entries in the franchise as well as other games within the stealth genre (Splinter Cell, Thief 2 namely) If you want to see where the franchise first started, then by all means play it, but if you want to play a game with actual polish and properly cooked mechanics, then go play Hitman 2 or Contracts instead.

An essential game to the Hitman franchise, but many of the levels truly do need a guide and multiple rage inducing attempts. Every now and then, you can see glimpses of the future Hitman games, but they are too few to make this game a net positive. It is somewhat short however, so you can get through it in not too long.
