Hitman: Contracts

"...between the overly tight scripting and the split-second timing required to pull it all off, I thought it was a little difficult to play the missions out the way they wanted you to, finding Hitman: Contracts instead played like an average first person shooter with excessive stealth elements."

"HC is a solid title that provides the same smart level design and open-ended gameplay for which the series is famous. But without multiplayer options, graphical refinement or level originality, it simply feels dated. "

"A handful of glaring errors and nagging problems hamstring the title, preventing it from garnering overly high acclaim. Afforded the opportunity for a proper sequel though, we have no doubt that Agent 47 still has what it takes to go straight for the jugular."

"Hitman: Contracts delivers some time-tested and sometimes highly entertaining stealth action, which any fan of the genre might as well check out."

"Gamers who found themselves enamored with Hitman 2: Silent Assassin are going to fall in love with Hitman: Contracts. Though there's more of an action slant in the new game, there are more than enough opportunities to engage in stealth activities."
