Hitman: Absolution is the fifth entry in the Hitman series of stealth action video games, following on from 2006's Hitman: Blood Money . Players once again take control of Agent 47 as he undertakes a variety of missions… and this time, it's personal.

Even though the current generation of hardware has allowed for video games to become bigger, broader, and more feature-filled than ever before, the most important development tool these days is learning where to cut the fat; sequels like Mass Effect 2 , Skyrim , and Far Cry 3 have learned how to...

"In the aftermath of Hitman: Blood Money, Diana Burnwood, Agent 47's handler with the Agency, suddenly goes rogue, carrying out a catastrophic sabotage that includes publicly exposing the Agency.

Great game play

can be frustrating

Hitman was never designed to be played on consoles, and i have no idea why the developers did it (well, i do, it's for money obviously). The control for the game is beyond pathetic.

Fantanstic lights for the garden. The lights are not the brightest, they are solar powered after all but are lovely garden decoration and light up the garden at night!! Easily put together aswell !

Being a die hard hitman fan since the original I personally really like this game. Not at all what I was expecting but it does tie in rather well with the previous titles and the story is quite good.

Awesome game, the only way they could of improved would of been more options to kill with each weapon, some weapons got very repetitive.

Easy To Learn; Engaging Story Line; Gameplay

Great game in the Hitman series, go stealth or guns blazing, but it's all fun.

Agent 47 has suffered in his life.  From his vile creation and eventual torture at the hands of Dr. Ort-Meyer to the emotional scarring that has come with some of his more personal contracts, Agent 47's life is one of deep pain.

Hitman: Absolution , like its predecessors, is paced according to the way you play it. It wants you to play it slowly, taking your time to uncover every last piece of evidence and tool needed to be the most effective assassin around.

+ Agent 47 is still a badass; + Multiple ways to complete a mission; + Exhilarating but linear escape missions; + Fantastic Contracts mode; + Gunplay is smooth

- Instinct implementation might alienate Hitman diehards
