I'll second that, i hated the levels for that whole oriental guy after you kill his son, can't remember the name sorry. I think there was about 7 or 8 i didn't like and just wanted them over as soon as possible.

True, a few missions on Hitman 2 were tilting towards the manotonous side, wouldn't call them small though, some of them were absolutley gigantic and from what I have played from Contracts I wouldn't say they were any bigger. Definitley better laid out in some cases though.

It depemnds, if you're the soirt of player who likes to run and gun through the levels then you probably won't get more than a few days out of it. But if you go for the silent assassin ratings and are like me and like to find all the different roots for the levels and really mess around with the AI and experiment then the game could last you ages.
There may only be 12 levels this time round but unlike Hitman 2, all the levels are massive, have tons of different paths and are a hell of a lot better desgined so you will want to go back to them. Hitman 2 was an excellent game, but I'd say there was a good 5 or 6 levels in the game that never really floated my boat, there was also a lot of quite small levels so I'd say the length of the experience isn't actually that much shorter.

> Transformers? whats that like?
You've never heard of Transformers? Did you ever watch television as a kid? Or are you still a kid? Basically you control one of three big robots that Transform into various types of vehicles. The game plays like a third person shooter but you can change into vehicles and drive around if needed, the game does look pretty good actually but I think I'd rather rent it first.
