I rented this game and beat it last night.

Let me say, there is a thin line between fun and frustrating, and this game broke that game a few times. Expecially on the level in russia.

Also the diffculty curve was way to spontainious. Where one misson would be incredible difficult and the next one would be too easy.

The last complaint is that it was too short.

but besides all of those problems it was actually a really fun and deep game. Im prolly going to work backwards from this game and play the other ones now.

I'm alternating between Hitman2 and Hitman Contracts, one level here one level there. How wierd...

The only thing i didn't like about contracts is the sheer variety of useless weapons you can equip. U can't even use the scope on the AUG...

Other than that, the game was as good as Hitman2 with improved graphics (i lag on hitman3 :( ). So yea, it's ziggy... the guns are louder now :)

I played a demo of Hitman 2 before. The amount of freedom is interesting, but it still seems like there's only really one or two ways to actually do a mission right, so the amount of freedom just ends up causing a lot of mission restarts, and that I didn't like.

I spend about 5 mission restarts just trying to find a place to hide a body that the enemies wouldn't end up seeing. :/

James is right. I own Hitman 2. Once you figure out the best way to kill someone it takes about 15 unnecessary gamplay minutes out of almost every level. Still is fun to snipe a fat naked guy in the face with a crossbow tho.

I played hitman 1 and contracts, I dislike both games becuase they get to frustrating, I quit after not being able to beat the first level in Hitman 1 .

:rolleyes Let me guess, you couldn't snipe the machine gunner in the chopper...

I got contracts, and I have played all the hitman games. I thought it was OK, but it seemed pretty short. FElt like I didn't really get my moneys worth. :/
