Recommended: OS: Ubuntu Where Blood Money really shines is in Io Interactive's amazingly inventive level design. Gone are the drab confines of Contract's levels, to be replaced with gaudy and flamboyant levels bursting with colour and activity, from casinos through heaven-and hell-themed nightclubs to Mardi Gras festivals.
The latter two levels deserve a special mention as both feature literally hundreds upon hundreds of extras, giving 47 a potential wardrobe choice egual to Paris Hilton. It may not be the most graphically intense game on PC, but the very locations themselves still have a definite wow factor.
Each level is well laid out with many different areas: checkpoints and guards that should keep your killer instinct in good shape working out how to avoid being spotted. Playing the role of hired killer is now more joy than chore thanks to the new moves that 47s picked up.
He can turn weapons upon their owners, use human shields, push people over ledges and stash bodies to make them harder to find. Put together, these new features cause the game to flow more naturally than its predecessors and really make it a joy to play. The only niggles are that of the traditional but unwieldy inventory, and the context-based button presses which can often find you swapping outfits when you really wanted to haul the dead body away.
They're minor complaints, but right in the thick of things, choosing the wrong option can mean the difference between life and death. Enemy Al has also received a boost and with guards following blood trails, talking on their radios and searching you for weapons when entering restricted areas, it's harder than ever to get away with murder. While the training level in an abandoned funfair is a fantastic introduction, there's still a pretty steep learning curve to be crossed when you head over to the first proper level.
We reckon it's one of the most unforgiving in the game, but don't let that put you off, as you'll soon settle into your assumed assassin role. With its amazing sets, inventive ways of killing, solid storyline with a great twist at the end and more emphasis on stealth, 47's latest is not only the most accomplished Hitman title ever, but a serious contender in the world of stealth gaming.
No Women , no kids. That's the rules. French tough guy Jean Reno's words as the assassin from the movie Leon are echoed by Rasmus Hojengaard. I'd have to say there are no taboos.
So there you have it - Io Interactive is a studio that isn't afraid to take on the excesses of the tabloid press, portraying as it does the grim life of the contract assassin, complete with brutal killings, a dark and seedy underworld and a higher than average count of doubled-over men that have been stripped down to their pants. The Hitman senes has been taking out ne'er-do-wells for the past five years now and although the previous games nave always offered an intriguing and novel subject matter - along with the chance to take on the role of a cooler-than-ice character - we can't help but feel that Io hasn't quite managed to hit the nail squarely on the head yet.
However, the team has been busy eavesdropping on the Hitman community, as well as adding a host of new ideas and has been invited to its studio in Copenhagen, Denmark, for a glimpse at the next instalment of a day in the life of a cold-blooded killer.
Io is keeping determinedly tight-lipped about the story, the only thing it's letting slip being a Yoda-style time-wise, they connect". As the lights go down in the presentation room, Hojengaard sets the scene: Contracts was very dark and gritty, but in Blood Money, we want you to play out the violent missions in more colourful and artistic environments.
As Agent 47 stands outside the casino entrance, gaudy neon-lit buildings tower over the Las Vegas sidewalks, impressive fountains shoot jets of water high into the air and a spectacular display of fireworks decorate the evening sky overhead.
Stepping through the massive front doors brings us to the exquisitely detailed lobby, milling with a throng of guests, security and staff. Workers diligently scrub the floor and a man trying to hit on a particularly inebriated woman shows off the new animation system to great effect. The Glacier engine - which has provided the backbone for the series - has been heavily tweaked, and this time around it includes a new system that allows for separate effects to be applied to each platform.
Put simply, this means that you won't have to put up with a lazy console port - the PC version really shines with its DX9 soft shadows, normal mapping and water reflection.
Next up, the Paris Opera level offers Hojengaard the chance to show the assembled crowd a thing or two about how to carry out a mission Silent Assassin-style. Justice is dealt swiftly and inconspicuously, utilising a combination of the now familiar clothes-swap, a quick substitute of real for prop weapon and a handily placed loose chandelier. The level finishes with a very brief glimpse of a Playboy mansion-style level featuring some more lovely water effects unfortunately slightly obscured by a gaggle of scantily-clad models and a brief hark back to the seedier locale of Contracts.
After we've finished admiring the scenery, the first thing that's instantly noticeable in Blood Money is 47's raft of new physical abilities. From pulling himself up through roof access panels in lifts, jumping from ledge to ledge and sliding along narrow walkways, the bald one's new moves are a match for Sam Fisher well, almost. More exciting by far though are the close combat moves, from headbutting an opponent to stripping an enemy of their gun and turning it back on them in retribution.
An especially handy technique is the ability to use unsuspecting passers-by as human shields, thus providing you with some much-welcomed cover when things really start to go tits-up. Blood Money's Al is also much improved, with nosy civilians and guards alike following blood stains and investigating items that you've dropped, some even utilising them for their own purposes.
All of the characters in the game will have various jobs and routines to give a sense of life," explains Hojengaard. The previous outing's combat Al saw guards simply rushing at you, shooting rather than using cover - but Io assures us that it's putting its experience to good use.
We haven't made a tactical shooter, but we had experience of combat when making Freedom Fighters , so we've put a lot of that into the game. You're able to pin down characters who'll use different kinds of cover. Although Hitman was always intended to be open to different styles of play, the ability to simply run rampage through the level killing every person who dared to get in the way without suffering any real form of penalty except for the guilt-inducing Mass Murderer' rank negated some of the desire to stay stealthy.
Far from removing this way of playing altogether, lo's inserting its own form of rough justice. It's our way of saying you can choose to butcher everyone, but you'll pay for it and get really bad publicity. And what if you do end up with a high notoriety? You'll just have to mercilessly kill your way through the level," says Hojengaard, reassuringly.
If your notoriety's at maximum, then there's a great chance that everyone will recognise you straight away and just alert the guards. The way to fix that, of course, is with your money. Ah yes, the blood money of the title. Of course, loveable old 47 doesn't just throttle people for kicks - at the end of each mission you're rewarded with a payout.
How much depends on a number of factors including your rating, and now with a massive of them up for grabs compared to the previous title's 30 , there's real incentive to experiment. Hojengaard: Each of these ratings either adds to or subtracts from your score. This is totalled up from each hit, which gives you a certain amount of money, and each objective of retrieving something gives you money and then your rating is factored in.
Of course, getting the Silent Assassin rating gives you a huge amount of money. Ways to splash your cash are set to include bribing officials to reduce your notoriety, buying hints for the forthcoming level or upgrading your arsenal of deadly weapons.
Yep, that s right - Agent 47's already impressive weapon-set can now be tweaked to your heart's delight, from different silencers and better scopes to double magazines and weapons that can't be scanned by metal detectors.
Io Interactive has definitely been hard at work since Contracts and there's a strong chance this will be the Hitman title that pushes 47 into the A-list of gaming stealth killers, sharing the blood red carpet with Sam Fisher and Solid Snake.
That's if he doesn't garrotte them both and leave their corpses in a rubbish bin first He Might Have been last in the queue when god was dishing out hair, but Hitman's Agent 47 is one of the most ruthless assassins around - and after his fourth and best outing, we decided to find out more about him. After taking out a security guard and making our way into Io Interactive's offices, we cornered game designer Rasmus Hojengaard, held a syringe to his neck and threatened to steal his clothes to get him to explain some of the finer points behind Hitman: Blood Money.
He took it surprisingly well Then came the thought-provoking idea of trying to fulfil the fantasy of being an assassin which was a really cool thing, but on top of that it's something that's hard to admit that you think is cool because it's basically about being evil. The inspiration was from a lot of things - Hong Kong movies, comic books and all kinds of stuff. I guess there was just something cool about him not having any roots, so by being a clone, he can be shaped into any form by the people who made him; they decide everything about his future fate, so making an assassin a clone would seem like the ultimate way to make the ultimate assassin.
It evolved with the character before the first Hitman was even done. It's something we have to be careful with because there are certain boundaries that you shouldn't cross, and also it's one of those locations that everybody has seen-but-not-seen, if you know what I mean.
You've seen it 10, times in movies and stuff like that, but you still haven't really seen it because that's now a staging as well; it's just a set that resembles the real thing.
