However, because of my requirement to play a game in full, if applicable, to be eligible for my list, only Blood Money will make an appearance. I have since gone back and played the final two episodes of the 2016 reboot that I hadnt played before, and it would have ranked as high or even higher on this list, but thems the rules that I made. My friend had the first Hitman game, and while it was extremely rough, it showed promise to where I decided to keep an eye on the series. Silent Assassin was a great but flawed experience, my opinion of Contracts has improved over the years as a solid entry in the franchise, but Blood Money is where I/O interactive first hit it out of the park. Blood Money is when the series really took off with the sandbox-y and flexibility that they had flirted with previously. With its abundance of intricately designed levels (A New Life and You Better Watch Out are my favorites) full of numerous fixed and moving parts (some of which have limited windows or no patterns), being able to successfully pull off your hit in the way that you want is immensely satisfying. Hell, its satisfying even if you have to make an audible or everything goes to hell, but it feels especially good to come up with a plan and have it come to fruition. It cant be understated how great it is that in a stealth game like Hitman, taking the guns blazing approach is an option and can be a lot of fun. One thing that I dont think the game gets enough credit for is its outstanding in-game map. I cant say that I have given comparisons much thought, but it would certainly be in the running for one of my favorites in games. Silent Assassin and Contracts have very similar ones, but it is very sleek, almost like a blueprint aesthetically, uses excellent color and symbol choices so that everything is apparent, and they move in real time (that means that it doesnt pause the action). It is unfortunate that seeing it in all of its full glory can only be done on the easiest difficulty as they strip more features the harder the difficulty that you choose. Im not one for remembering the final game I beat for each platform that I own, but I always remember that Blood Money was the final game that I beat for the PS2 because it ended up being one of my favorites for the system. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:957631548] in The Board ...
