Excellent game. Aren't quite feeling what NGC seemed to like about it quite yet, but it is pretty good fun, and also techinicly sublime.
Done the first level (gaem involves A LOT of patience) and got a proffessional rating, after my first try of 'Gun for hire' as I massacred all and sundry.
I reccommend. Now on St. Petersburg, and it looks lurvly.
Was supposed to say physics.
It's just so much fun, I can see myself playing this one for a long time yet. Me thinks in terms of lastability in single payer, it's gonna be my new Perfect Dark.
I just like messing around in the levels and trying out all the guns on people in different situations. There's so much freedom to do what ever you like and the psychic's engine on the bodies is just there to be exploited.
Managed to get Silent Assasin on the Party level and the first Japanease level, very easy once you work out where everyone is. Ya feel like a right badass on the party level, from the minute you use anasthetic on the guy with the invitation, you're on a timer to do everything otherwise he'll wake up and your cover will be blown.
Excellent game, can be annoying at times but for the most part it's just amazingly good fun. The freedom you get on the levels is just superb, I got fed up with that level in India where you have to shoot the guy in the car so before the car got to the city I shot all the guards with that badass sniper rifle and then just sat on a roof waiting for the gump in the car to come, shot his driver and then took out the fool in my own time.
Certainly goes high up in my 'favourite games ever' list.
Could have had 2 for £35 but there was nothing else I wanted, So I just got Hitman 2 for 20 squids.
Anyway.
It rocks. Especially killing that mafia boss on the first mission.
