Advantages: hours of gaming fun! on the first mission that is!

Disadvantages: dont get to keep your guns

I recently brought my-self a copy of the game thinking that it will be only okay but boy was I wrong!

This game simply kicks the brown stuff out of every other game I can off for the pc. The game is so detailed and the thing that amazes me the most is that it runs sooooo smooth!

Basically in the game you are a hitman (duhh!) and you don’t really know your past. At the start of the game you are wearing only a white robe and you are in a white room with one door and a bed. You hear a voice and you go out of the door and the first thing you do is get changed into your “working” clothes. The first level on the game all you do is get a couple of guns (which unfortunately you don’t keep for long) and learn the basics of how to urm…. well how can I put this? Kill people and slip away unnoticed! This task is a lot harder said than done!

The first mission is unbelievably addictive! I must have played the first mission about 15 times for the fact that it is so good! In the first mission there is going to be a meeting in this Chinese thing and you arrive on the scene about 5 minutes before they turn up but the time may vary because on time they were already there! Well basically all you have to do is kill one of the men who is only a negotiator but not any one else! You have quite a few different ways in which to do this so shall we start then? Okay ready? Lets go

1. As soon as the negotiator gets out of his limousine (make sure you have the right one!) you can simply put a bullet through the back of his head! And if you are a good enough shot you can shoot him from a distance, which is very hard indeed!

2. Take an elevator up to a roof near the Chinese thing and snipe him but doing this will cause a helicopter with a man and a very big gun (which he seems to like using) after you! Then you have two choices, you can either put a bullet in him as well or you can run! But don’t think about
this for too long or you will end up as like the same as that poor man you just shot but with a few hundred more bullets in you!

The game is so detailed it is unbelievable! When you shoot a man in the leg sometimes he will actually fall over or if you shoot a man in the arm he might drop his gun! You can drag the dead bodies around (like you have to in mission 2 which I will tell you about in a minute because it is another one of my favourites) and actually take their clothes leaving them in only there underwear!

On to mission 2 then! You have to kill someone else in a nice shiny limousine again! But this is a lot harder said than done! You can either buy a bomb from your company, which you work for (which is the best way to do it) or you can shoot him but this option leads only to your death! It took me ages to work this out! If you try walking anywhere near the limousine you will get shot at! So if you wait long enough down this alley the limousine driver will need the loo and he starts going down the alley in this sewer gutter so while the man is quite innocently relieving him-self you use the piano wire and strangle him and then you drag him down this sewer he was going to the toilet in and then you take his clothes and you can go near the car. When no one is looking you put the bomb on board then quickly go and get changed into your original clothes and if you get into the right part of the street you can hear them asking each other where the driver is! In the end a normal person drives the car and when the target gets in the car you can safely detonate it (as long as you are a fair distance away from the car) and hey presto! Mission 2 complete!

I could have talked about his game all day but I better not! I would highly recommend this game to any pc owner! IT IS SIMPLY GREAT!
