And the unfortunate checkpoint system doesn’t help matters. But sometimes you just want to let some steam off and shoot some bad guys 🙂 Hitman Absolution allows for both but be warned, a stand up gun fight makes things pretty difficult. If you’re just spotted or suspicious it’s fairly easy to get away by breaking line of sight and hiding in one of the many cupboards/boxes etc scattered around the levels.įor the most part you’ll likely want to play stealthily and see if you can get through the level undetected.

The enemy AI is pretty good and certainly if you raise a full scale alarm it’ll take some luck and good judgement to avoid death. But that’s where the aforementioned instinct comes into play. However, be warned – in a nice touch, people wearing the same uniform/clothes are a lot more likely to notice you are a stranger (as they would know the other people they work with). It gives you time to recover a mission that might otherwise have been blown and saved me on numerous occasions.ĭisguises also play a big role here, if your cover is blown the quickest way avoid further detection is to change clothes. Very handy for unexpected crowd control but it drains your ‘instinct’ all the way.ĭefensively ‘instinct’ allows you to blend in with your surroundings – if you are on the verge of being discovered in disguise you can hold R1 and the cries of ‘hey you, do I know you?’ will be replaced with ‘ah he must the new guy that’s starting today.’ This is a fantastic mechanic for lesser skilled assassins like myself. In an offensive capacity you can slow down time, tag a number of enemies and then have Agent 47 immediately take them out when time restarts.

This makes planning your next move a lot easier than having to hope an enemy isn’t around the corner!

The biggest plus for me in this game is the instinct meter, a finite source that can used in a number of ways.įirstly, you will always have a very small amount of instinct available – this means with a press of R1 you can see enemies through walls, see which route they will take and get an idea of who is around you. The design of the levels has obviously been done meticulously and you will have great fun working out ways to get through them. Graphically Hitman Absolution is great, it has a slight cartoon sheen but that only heightens the look of the game in my opinion. I liked the feel of the shooting and felt that they did a good job of making your shots seem like they were landing with a suitable punch.

The controls are tight and Agent 47 handles well. Thankfully there are numerous other targets that you can take out however you like and I personally didn’t have a problem with the ‘cut scene deaths’.


This makes sense in terms of exposition, especially if the target needs to give you story info before dying but it obviously goes against a part of the Hitman ethos, which is planning to kill the target with the freedom of a choice of options. What I mean is that once you get to where they are a cut-scene takes over and events play out as scripted. This game has a much higher emphasis on story than I remember for the previous games which leads to an issue that a lot of people complained about – the fact that for some missions you don’t actually assassinate your target. As a complex plot unravels you will be tasked with using all of your Hitman skills to track and eliminate targets to get information. In Absolution, Agent 47 has gone rogue after carrying out a mission in which he kills his former handler ‘Diana’.

For such a strong franchise on the PS2 I would’ve thought Agent 47 would have cropped up sooner than this! It still amazes me that Hitman Absolution is the first Hitman game we have seen on Playstation 3.
