Who left all these empty dumpsters around for me to hide in? Why does no one ever look inside them?

Sneaking around as a scarecrow while killing nuns is so surreal it's sort of fun

I have only played Blood Money and now this one but they both were amazing! If you love sneaking around and trying not to get noticed you will love this game! You can also go gun crazy and just kill everything in the game too for those who need to get their aggression out.

Many years have passed since original gamers of the hitman series have had the ability to play as the seriously hardcore character agent 47, with his signature suit, guns and iconic hairstyle.. Oh. Hitman Absolution has snuck it's way back onto our next gen.

Agent 47 has been on a hiatus for the past six years. During his break, the developers of the stealth franchise have brought us a couple of third-person shooters with the Kane & Lynch titles, and also brought us the surprisingly fun Mini Ninjas .

Agent 47 is back! I, for one, couldn't be more excited to be back in his bald head…I mean shoes! The Hitman series has always been the pinnacle of the stealth/action genre, rewarding patience and skill rather than a propensity to rush in, guns blazing.

Absolution is beautiful and at times a bit dumb, but like any beautiful underachiever...

Brighter: slick executions done with style; The premise is simple and it's all about the joys of dress up.

The interface is still a pain at times; leading to incessant trial and error.

When playing to its strengths, Hitman: Absolution is a genuinely great game. Overall, though, it feels slightly disappointing, simply because it doesn’t spend enough time playing to those strengths. Too much time is spent trawling through levels which feel like filler.

This time round, it's been over SIX years since Agent 47 last dispatched the baddies in a ‘silent assassin' style, such that no-one saw it coming when they were about to meet their maker… or at least that's the way it *should* be done but, when I cock this up, it's like when you see such a murder...

Hitman Absolution rekindles my faith in stealth-based games. Whilst I am still a huge fan of games like Splinter Cell, they have recently become less about stealth and more about providing an action-packed campaign with very minor stealth elements integrated.

However, this generation of systems are showing their age. Still a pretty game, but I cant wait to see the next gen graphics in a hitman game. The sound is good as usual. Good voice acting and an appropriate score to fit the scenes. The story, so far, has been intriguing.

Very enjoyable game
