Hitman: Absolution follows Agent 47, a cold blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he trusted and hunted by the police, he finds himself at the centre of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world, in his search for the truth.

Showcasing IO Interactive's new proprietary Glacier 2 technology, the game has been built from the ground up, boasting a cinematic story, distinctive art direction and highly original game design, Hitman: Absolution combines much loved classic gameplay with completely new gameplay features for the Hitman franchise.
  • Suitable for 18 years and over. Not for sale to persons under age 18. By purchasing this product, you declare that you are 18 years of age and over.

  • Choice: You are the ultimate assassin, as talented as you are ruthless. You decide how to lay your target low. Stalk your enemies, learn all their secrets and eliminate them in the most subtle way imaginable, snipe them from a mile away or put a bomb under their chair. There is no rulebook
  • you are the best, so think outside the box.
  • Disguises: In the Hitman series, your ability to disguise yourself as someone else has always been a pre-eminent feature and always been one of 47's most powerful tools. This weapon has become even more lethal as you can no longer just blend in visually
  • you now have the power to impersonate your victim. A word of caution though, the world will react to your disguise so choose your target carefully.
  • AI: One facet of the new Glacier 2 engine is the Comprehensive Intelligence Spectrum. Your enemies come to life as you make your way through the world, expressing a wide range of reactions to the environment around them. An attention bar has also been introduced that represents how suspicious of you the people around you are. This is affected by sight, sound and environmental changes for example, a door being open that was closed. This new feature allows 47 to gauge how close to being detected he is and act accordingly.
  • Instinct: 47 has been around the block, instinctively knowing how an adversary will behave. Activate Instinct, see through his eyes and look at the world as 47 does. You'll see how 47 would expect a target to patrol a certain area or show ways to escape. To earn instinct, just behave as 47 would and execute classic Hitman moves, a silent takedown is sure to set 47's instincts ablaze.
  • A living, breathing world: With the power of the Glacier 2 engine, the world is richly detailed and varied. Raising the intelligence of the people populating it and standing in your way, allowing 47 to behave more naturally than ever before.

 Excellent

I think this game is ace! Only frustrating bit is when you restart checkpoints as you lose ponts if your seen. Graphics are good, presentation is, too. Dialogue is good, also. And as for ziggy: You sound like a very depressing person!

This is not a very creative game, linear, unoriginal and boring. Currently the only competition to the Assassins Creed franchise (which totally blows as well, for the same reasons listed above). Much like the FPS, which has been ruined by CoD, the stealth action game has become a repetitive genre. But as the consumerist drones we are (i'm guilty as well), we religiously buy into this trash thinking it's going to be the shizniz, we send them millions of pounds year in year out, and what do we get in return, cheap imitations and countless mediocre titles trying to revamp past classics. The only good stealth game is Metal Gear Solid and maybe Splinter Cell 1.

In conclusion whatever this game is called, Assassin's creed...is that it? Totally blows.
Gaming is going down the pan with this tent-pole franchises.

After a six year absence, agent 47 is back!It hasn't lost any of the traits that made the old games on the PS2 great, incredibly addictive with the vast array of methods to complete the missions and the storyline is epic.

 Amazing return for Agent 47

After 6 years of retirement Agent 47 is back with a bang. The graphics, gameplay mechanics and storyline are all 5star. The only this that lets it down is that some of the AI is pretty unresponsive somtimes. But this doesnt affect gameplay too much.

 Corruption

Do not buy this game - after release it was discovered that a bug which causes the game to crash corrupts save data which effectively erases your progress - this bug is present on both the ps3 and 360 versions. As infuriating as it was to happen once I waited for the patch that promised to fix the issue - it's happened in the same spot again. I've had enough and I'm disgusted that they can release software that effectively does not work I've never experienced this before. Do not buy this!!
