Hitman: Codename 47 description
It's hard to deny the appeal of Hitman: Codename 47. What action fan hasn't wanted to slip into the suit of a diamond-hard assassin-for-hire equally adept at both stealthy hits and all-out assaults? Hitman certainly provides you with the tools of the trade, offering everything from piano wire and silenced pistols to bull-pup submachine guns and predator-style miniguns. It also lets you perform many of the tricks of the trade, like stealing your enemy's clothes and dragging bodies away so roving patrols won't stumble onto them and get curious. Unfortunately, heavily scripted level design and some fairly dumb enemies get in the way of the fun, forcing players to rely more on memorization than quick reactions. Be prepared to play each level several times just to figure out exactly how to accomplish your objectives, and several times after that to successfully carry them out.

At least there was a lot to look at as we repeated each level. Hitman has some of the most beautiful graphics ever placed in a game of this type and the rendering engine can depict both lush outdoor environments and near-photographic-quality interiors. The audio is equally splendid, and after some practice you can tell what an enemy is firing simply by listening to the weapon's report. If the gameplay equaled the audio-visual quality, we'd have a classic on our hands, but as it stands Hitman plays more like a puzzle game where you have to guess what the designers wanted you to do. --T.

Pros:

  • Stunning graphics and crisp audio
  • Plenty of toys
  • The need for stealth in most situations adds a realistic twist to the gameplay
Cons:
  • Forced 3rd-person perspective is awkward
  • Enemies aren't very intelligent
  • Frustratingly difficult

♥♥♥♥ Hitman:Codename:47
For a 2000 game the graphics look good,but the gameplay is very original-its an "Assasin Stealth FPS" game thats exclusive to the PC,Although i think it should have came out on PlayStation or PS2(As a launch game).Its never been recognised as a "Competitor" to Metal Gear Solid despite being in the same genre,this game stood a chance against MGS.
In Hitman you play as a very dangerous man,a hitman who has been cloned from 5 of the Globe s most notorious crime king-pins as a "Take no [...] from anybody" style man-His name is simply Agent 47,who is paid tops to go out and kill certain people using stealth or disguises-Very dark,seedy storyline but its a very good one also.
Hitman pros and cons:

Pros:
-Great storyline
-Great character
-Nice Stealth elements
-Good gameplay
-Nice graphics for a 2000 game

Cons:
-Sometimes awkward controlls
-Forced Third Person elements are forced aswell.
-Its a little short.
I rate it 8.6/10(86%) as a GREAT game!

Y know most of the time original games are said to be better then their sequels?-well thats not the case for the Hitman series as i think Hitman 2:Silent Assasin and Hitman:Contracts are so much better than Hitman,I think Hitman:Blood Money will be the best Hitman game!
