The professional famous assassin in game’s world, whose nickname 47 has returned with Blood Money. Still glacial and transcendent, he is ready for new missions follow style of the Hitman action game series. Although game play is still similar to 3 previous versions but with those action scenes with open-ending in Hitman: Blood Money will sure be interesting for you. 47 will have more moves in a storyline which may excite your curiosity and cinematic-like missions, especially when it’s on Xbox 360.
Although known as the fourth in the series Hitman, Blood Money doesn’t require any experience or knowledge from the players about its brothers-3 previous version. Actually, you can feel more impressive if this is the first time you meet this white baldy. After receiving lots of missions from the beginning of the series till now, 47 step by step, find out that it’s him and his boss who are in danger with a secret organisation. Everybody knows, in his career, ‘danger’ means ‘dead’. 47 can only find out more about this after his missions are completed and all lead to a flabbergasted ending as well as always higher the contradiction.
In the
first chapter, player controls 47 to carry out a mission exactly in Hitman style: Kill the manager of an amusement park. This man, only because of his carelessness, has killed many innocent lives. Swing King-the manager was also a part of an organisation which sells heroin, to save the park from bankrupt. Passed through many guards, used lots of ammo, his last job to do is just way to easy when the victim is only a weakling, kneeling and praying for forgiveness.
Gamers can finish this chapter without having any difficulty just by follow the instruction on the screen. However, this is only a kind of demonstration to show players how it works as well as help them to get used to the game, at least, knowing what to do. Therefore, after the first mission, as the game go on, it’ll be more and more difficult to get through and next missions always contain surprises.
There are 12 missions in the game, mostly in US, from a carnival of Mardi Gras in New Orleans, a casino designed in Egyptian style in Las Vegas, to a clinic in north California, a cruise on Mississippi…The game is really impressive with all life-like scene, immense, sophisticated and lively. Especially in the carnival of Mardi Gras, where every street is a river of people and colourful dancers dancing, all are very detailed. Every location in game is full of citizens and guards with fully equipped ammo and amour. Therefore, you have to prepare carefully for each mission to finish the victim and get away easily, without any realisation. If you are detected, there will be big trouble but it’s not the end with 47, he can show his shooting ability to run away from them.
Like other versions, in Blood Money, sneaking is the best strategy but you can also run and shoot in need. Player’s angle can be changed between the third (from the back of 47) and the first (like normal FPS games). Besides, lots of new weapons are added to the game with shotgun, machine gun, all have different shape and look exactly like the model in real life. There are also poison, dynamite, blade and many more…In particular situation, you can finish your enemy off without any blood in your hand by lure them to be jailed or stuck and then be hit by some heavy objects. You will earn more money and have higher ranking by doing that in every mission (if possible).
Making plan is not so difficult in game when you have the help of maps in each part of building which looks like GPS. Just by a press, maps will appear and you’ll the position of every single one around your area (only at normal level or lower, not included at higher level). But at hard level it’s opposite, enemy will know where you’re standing and of course, easier to be found and got killed.
Game’s AI is not so high and can be said at satisfied level. You can see them talking with each other, guarding around…Some of them sometimes go to the toilet or get out to have some cigarette and know nothing about the danger around them. They will have to pay for their separation from others. Like other professional assassins, 47 is master of masquerade. He can disguises him to any one he want; make it much easier getting in the danger zones.
After each missions, 47 will be more ‘famous’, therefore can be found easier and it’s harder to complete the mission. Between chapters, Hitman: Blood Money allow player to pay to lower their fame in the underworld. As well as this, money can be used to buy weapons, equipment upgrade them to bigger, have more space to store or attach laser telescopic sight, IR to your guns…
Another remarkable thing is after each mission, player can read an article about what his character has done, well described and detailed. This make player feel good when reading comments about his ‘show’. In every mission, it is necessary to hide in the wardrobe, use dead body as a shield, and throw knife or broken glass as well as destroy the evidence by throwing dead body in the bin…
A special soundtrack of Hitman: Blood Money was composed by Jesper Kyd with beautiful mix between anthem backgrounds and electrical. Sound effect is remarkable with dubbing in the underworld’s way, making conversation between characters in game sound very cool.
Thank you for reading.
