Hitman:Blood Money

[ArrowX]

Definately the Best in the series so far. Its narritave is actually pretty cool albeit a little predictable. If you havent played it yet go out and rent it. All the morid ways of killing someone are probably the biggest daw to the game, like knocking out a suburban jogger and throwing him into a trash compactor, or taking the M4 with a Beta C mag and cutting down dosens of peopel at mardi gras.

That's what drew people to the series in the first place, you make it sound like it's new.

[Drunkenbrigade]

It is one of the better in the series. My favorite scenario so far is "A new life." The clown suit is awesome.

[the_dudefather]

so is going nuts with the air-rifle

[ArrowX]

Ya A New life Is amazing, I'm still coming Up with new ways to kill the mobster.

Has anyone blown up his daughter by rigging the BBQ?
and where do you get ammo for the air rifle?

[the_dudefather]

you get ammo in the animal clinic across the street

and i thought that was his slutty wife (use clown costume or poolboy outfit for comical effects)

[ArrowX]

I didn't even see the animal clinic.

[Juttin]

I need to rent this game :(

[Juttin]

BUMP.

I know I'm late, but I just rented this game, and beat it in mere hours.

I liked placing mines in objects ( Cakes, crates, briefcases, toolboxes),
Placing them in a crowded area, and detonating them.

That's how I outsmarted the last target, Mark Parchezzi.

I set a mine in a carpenter's toolbox, set it where you fight him, on the
West Wing roof, and detonated it when I got to that fight

Also,

On the " Amendment XXV " Level, I like throwing objects into the lazer
security system in the museum, and walking away, soldiers running past me.

One time, I just decided to actually PUSH the lady into the glass. It didn't work :(

[ArrowX]

Parchezzi isn't the last target >:


The Cripple in the wheelchair and the Reporter are the last ones

During the last part where the credits keep rolling movve the L-Thumbstick up and down and you come back to life at your funeral.

[Juttin]

For real? Holy shit, I'm going to do that now

I just though that was a mysterious cliffhanger, or something

[Fathom Zero]

I don't have this game, haven't played it much, and I haven't made it to the end, but I smell a rat.

[Juttin]

Another Feature I found amusing was how they draw a sketch of you that looks nothing like you when you do the level correctly/ bribe the civillians

[ArrowX]

theres a really bad glitch in the PC version for me, if you press "G" to drop an item at any point during the "you better watch out" mission (the porn tycoons mountain stronghold party) the game just dies and forces you to restart your comp :(

the heaven and hell night cub part was neat, except it would have been WAYY cool to be able to break the shark tanks glass and let it go to town on all the people on the dance floor.

[Mad Melvin]

Excellent game, but sadly the replay value isn't all that great.

I really have a huge respect for the level designers. Almost every level in this game is outstanding. Even the worst one (Flatline) is ok. I especially enjoyed the casino level, A New Life, that mardi gras thingy and Heaven & Hell.

I liked Hitman 2 better compared to this one, though. Dunno why.

[ArrowX]

Hitman 2 was all about its first level. The Mobsters Villa, thats probably my most favourite mission in the world.

Also Replayability is huge in Blood Money, the levels are so non linear that theres doses of ways to complete most of them. I replayed "a new life" about 9-10 times BEFORE i even realized that there was an animal hospital. Also you can poison the familys dog with Ether and a Sausage. wait untill their party actually begins then assasinate Mr. Sinistra, Blow up the bbq to kill that girl (wife or daughter I don't know) dress up as the poolboy and have the girl lead you upstairs :D

theres friggin tons.

My favourite on was stalking through the house in the Clown costume with a pair of hedge clippers.

Or the "vintage year" level, go through and kill EVERYONE with the hammer you find in the garage. its hard but entirely awesome

[Dr. Boogie]

Also Replayability is huge in Blood Money, the levels are so non linear that theres doses of ways to complete most of them.

Yeah, there's dozens of ways to complete the levels, but there's really only one, maybe two, ways to get Silent Assassin, and once you get all those, the replayability isn't so great.

You can go back and get all the guns, but even that only takes an hour at the most. Well, an hour at the most provided you have mouseaim.

[the_dudefather]

killing someone from behind with hedgetrimmers has to be the coolest death in the game

shoving pointy end into top of spine FTW!

[ArrowX]

has anyone gone trough in an attempt to kill everyone at mardi gras except that senator guy?

[Juttin]

I did that the first time.

Also, STUN GUN STEALTH KILL.

I love this game :)

[Mad Melvin]

a gamer who wants to see everything in every level will get a kick out of this game, no doubt, but im the kind of guy who just wants to beat the game. Playing those levels after beating the game seems so...I dunno, pointless. :/
But thats just me.

[Juttin]

My first play through, I got into costume, but if I messed up, I'd just go balls-to-the-wall and would probably die.

The SECOND time, I got Hitman/Silent Assassin on alot of the linear levels (Curtains down, A New Life, Flatline)

[ArrowX]

I love it when you replace the opera guys gun with a real one. That has to be my favourite thing in the whole game.


and how do you get silent assasin in a new life?

[Mad Melvin]

I havent gotten Silent Assassin on that level, but I cooked up a plan which I haven't tried yet.

1. get ether and sausage
2. Make the doggy go nappy and disable the camera.
3. Sneak in the house through the upstairs window. (baby's room)
4. put ether on the panties in the daughters room and wait
5. dress as an FBI agent
6. go downstairs and poison the whiskey in the lounge
7. go to the sauna and wait for that drunken wife to come in the room with the showers and inject her full of anesthetic.
8. take the microfilm
9. get out.

[the_dudefather]

if i remember right mine went:

-drug clown
-dress as clown, hide body
-go into house
-drug the slutty woman's bottle of booze
-hang around main entrance till she asks you to follow her
-once shes out cold, get microfilm
-go outside
-get back into normal clothes (to avoid fine)
-sneak into garage across street from house
-use sliced rifle to kill target through window

its been a while, but i think that got me a silent assassin rating

[Juttin]

Really?

Mine went:

Get Donuts
Poison Donuts
Give donuts to agents in van
Watch them eat the donuts
Get their disguises
walk through house to shed
get lighter fluid
Rig grill
walk upstairs
Wait for the target to go into his office
Syringe the target
Get video and microfilm.
Haul ass away

[the_dudefather]

they must have put so much effort into making that mission, it seems to be the most open ended

[ArrowX]

IVe never been able to actualy get the microfilm of that girl because she always ends up lighting the grill so she dies and if you loot her body the guys get all shooty.

I dressed up as the garbage dude and went into the garage where I snuck into the house, Hammered a Silverballer round through the fat mans closet, then waited untill that one girl came upstairs, whacked her and grabbed the film and Bikked it out the side door.

Or you can go all harcore and just waltz into the front door wiht an M4.

[Dr. Boogie]

You're overthinking it.


1. Sedative in donuts.
2. Get FBI suit and video tape from unconcious agents in van.
3. Sedate wife as she leaves pool, get microfilm, stow her in sauna.
4. Garrote husband when he's alone in his room upstairs.
5. Leave.

[Juttin]

That's the short version of mine, besides for the sedating

Anyways, if you time it right, they'll just ignore you looting the necklace

[ArrowX]

or I could just kill everyone wiht hedge trimmers

[Juttin]

That's what I did on " The House of Cards" and " Til' Death do us part"

If you have the silverballers and sniper + full upgrades, you can just bottleneck all threats in the doorways of the main buildings

[ArrowX]

The final Level is my facourite now by FAR, after you do away with all the FBI agents you go outside and to the east (on the map) theres the garave diggers toolshed, wtih almost all the non firearm weapons in the game: shovel, nailgun, hedge clippers, Hammer, and I think there was a spade too. I like shoveling the reporter because all he does is grovel at your feet. But the wheelchair dude is packin one of the Franchises Custom 1911's.

[Juttin]

I loved popping the vice president in the head with a nailgun while being a carpenter, then walking away like nothing happened

[Dr. Boogie]

That's the short version of mine, besides for the sedating

Bah. My way's quieter.

[Juttin]

It isn't a noisy "Kill", its' a noisy " Freak Accident "

[Mad Melvin]

I killed everyone in "A New Life" with a kitchen knife without anyone noticing. It was radical.

[Juttin]

Sometimes I try performing a stealth kill with the knife, but instead, I accidentally shank them in the back, causing them to run away, yelling

[Lye]

i like throwing the knife. I wish i had more knives to throw, then it would be the only weapon i used.

[FartinMowler]

My local video store went out of business and I picked this game up for $10 :) It's fun but I can't figure out how to head butt or punch :( the reaction time is wierd and seems to only happen when I'm close to the bad guy's.

[Dr. Boogie]

That's correct. You only headbutt or punch when you don't have a weapon equipped and you're standing right next to the guy.

A headbutt first, then a punch that knocks the person out.

[FartinMowler]

Thanks Boogie...I got this game and all the "NEW FEATURES" to keep me busy for the winter months :)
