I know the feeling.  It will ruin my opinion on it if I go back to the days of early 360 releases....

Well for the burger guy, if you knock him out and take him to a lower deck and hide him in the storage crate, there is minimal violence involved.  Similarly, it grants you access to the top deck with very little violence and nobody seems to get suspicious.  It also allows you to take the cake into the mark's room, bomb/poison ready.

The wheelchair guy did shoot at me, but we were in the fields at the time.  As I said, best tactic is to grab the priest to take out most of the guards, then run under the crematorium and get some distance (where possible) and take them out from cover.  As it involves stairs, wheelchair guy suffers from a the same plight of the original Daleks and can't get to you.

^{*NOTE: I haven't played it for a good few months, so my methods may be a little inaccurate on how I actually did it}

On the top deck, "dispose" of burger guy, take his clothing and inject the burgers with poison.  They're expecting him, so when you do go into the top deck, they are easily disposed of.

Requiem did pose a problem with me, not sure how I worked it out but you can grab the priest as he walks by so you get to use him as a human shield.  Slightly easier as the henchmen don't like shooting a civilian, allowing for an easier level.  The guyin the wheekchair then runs off (well, scoots away...for an easier kill after you've disposed of the rest!)

The knocking out bits are the best fun!  Hiding bodies...hmmm Always seems to be a freezer or a crate nearby...

That was a nightmare, tried so many ways.  Think the best was dropping a remote detonator so that when he walked by I had a chance to kill him remotely.  Difficult....but I like the challenge!

One of my top games, played it through several times and enjoyed every moment of it.

Checkout the walkthrough I made for it -  The level A New Life has so many ways of completing it (and Chris, if you do the mission properly, then nobody suspects a thing...)

I've got to say, Hitman is one of those games that you HAVE to play. I love the fact that there is so many different ways to complete each mission. I must say though, it is one of the must frustrating games I have ever come across...

I await the inevitable release of a new Hitman game :).

I've played pretty much all the hitman games and blood money seems to be the most refined thus the one i like the most.

Never played Hitman. Any of 'em. Just has not appealed to me I guess.

what do you think of the level a new life on hitman one of your favourite discuss here
