Well, I've just gone through the first two levels. Quite a few times I was a little confused as to where to go/what to do next. It is quite hard as you need to think about your actions rather than bursting through the door with a fully loaded Spaz Shotgun :D

I agree with Cipro when he says it's dark. It's a very dark game and much different to the previous Hitman games in that respect.

I'm really enjoying it but sadly I can't go any further as I've been summoned by the *sigh* girlfriend.

On the slaughterhouse mission, once I had wasted all the guards and completed the objectives, I thought I'd have some fun with the civilians/gimps/freaks. I opened fire and they all started running around in fear. The thing is, they have a set path of motion and repeatedly run from one room and back to the other. I positioned myself by the doorway, got the meat cleaver out and started hacking away at everyone who came through the door - I was left with a nice bloody pile of bodies! I need help :D

It actually came through the post this morning; I wasn't expecting it until at least Tuesday it being posted from Play.

Anyway, good game, very, very dark and I'm not just talking about the lighting. It's much more violent, the first level is set in an asylum (I've never played the original game but I'm guessing it's the place 47 was created) there are bodies everywhere and SWAT swarms the place killing anyone with guns.

The second level I've just got to, it's a slaughterhouse, which just so happens to be hosting a fetish party. Leather clad gimps partying in a place full of blood and slaughtered animals, its pretty morbid stuff but actually more interesting than most of the levels from the last hitman game. And disguises actually work now, you can dress up as a waiter or a mental patient and manage to sneak past people undetected, though disuses aren't full proof and guards are always suspicious.

So far so good, I'm only two levels in but it is a hard game, I can't wait to see what else the game has to offer.

Yeah I noticed people also beg for their lives when you hunt them down after they run away. Made me feel real guilty when I shot them, but it was that or run the risk of having my cover blown. This is the demo by the way, looking forward to seeing what the rest of the game has to offer.
