Hitman: Codename 47 for Windows

Pros: Great action, thinking required instead of just shooting.
Cons: Graphics not up to snuff, pop-up in the game engine.

I'm in the midst of what I like to call "too much game" syndrome. Thanksgiving weekend, I was kicking back the day after prepping a huge turkey, and all the other stuff, watching Junkyard Wars and playing FF9.

Then my pal Nobby...

Pros: Excellent graphics
Cons: A bit sinister

We have all seen the likes of Tomb Raid in which Lara Croft runs around shooting pretty much anything that moves in order to complete her mission. It is also a fun game that kids would like to play. Hitman: Codename 47 however is a thoroughly more...

Pros: Graphics, Physics, Concept, Realism, and More!
Cons: Bad keyboard layout. Frame hits when you need it the smoothest.

This game can be considered training software to be a hired killer. This isn't a parental warning, this is a compliment. Playing this game can actually teach you about how various assault weapons work, about lining up a sniping rifle, and various...

Pros: Good Graphics
Cons: Lots of Control, Could Have Tried Something New

Did you know that you could be the next target of a nationally renowned hitman? Well you can't really, but it will definitely get your attention. Just imagine being the hired hitman sent to finish off someone else who did the dirty deed. Wouldn't that...

Pros: Great graphics, storyline, premise, playability, cutscenes, atmosphere
Cons: No multiplayer, load times are somewhat slow, can be very difficult at times

HITMAN: CODENAME 47:


This review will be from my personal perspective...as objective and subjective as possible. Thus, I'm going to break this one down into both viewpoints to give you a good rundown. Hitman is an extremely unique...

Pros: Wonderful realism. High level of area and game detail. Addictive, rewarding game-play.
Cons: Graphics a little below par. Main character's voice

For a long, long time I really thought that 3D shooting games were really not my forte and definitely not my thing. While my friends had a ball playing Quake, Doom, Duke3d and more recently Deus Ex, Half Life and Unreal...

Pros: Fun, bloody, action.
Cons: Will tire easy. Too bloody for kids.

The first thing that grabs you when you begin playing Hitman Codename 47 is the violence. There is heaps!! I mean, what would you expect from a game that is about an assasin for hire?

Hitman Codename 47 is a first person...

Pros: Be an actual Hitman, this game is super realistic in it's concept
Cons: You can't save the game any time you want, not enough missions

Why I Bought The Game

I hadn't bought a computer game for awhile and went to the store looking for something new. I'm an extreme prude when it comes to buying games for my computer, I'm easily disappointed and will curse non-stop for months...

Pros: Very realistic, involving, innovative. More strategy and less random shooting
Cons: Game can be very hard at times. High system requirements.

Hitman: Codename 47 is an innovative shooter that let’s you enter the world of a professional hitman. A world of paranoia and power, a secretive world where no one can know who you really are. Before you play hitman, you must know how to think as a...

Pros: "Hitting Your Target" is fun, Gets you into the game,'Dragging' Skeletal Design
Cons: Bugs/Glitches, Enemy AI, Needs more area, Insulting Chinese Voices

I opened my presents on Christmas day. Oh look.. Ramen..Noodles.. from my aunt? Last year she got me Juiceboxes, and she likes to laugh in my face for some reason, even though I always give her good gifts. I'm also nice to her, and we make jokes about...

Pros: Great graphics nice sounds. Makes killing fun again!
Cons: Inconsistent AI, little replay, popup and lag are at it again.

As of late, I have been getting a little tired of video games. It really is a bad habit I think, think about it. You shell out forty bucks to play a game taht you might or might not like and even if it IS an awesome game, chances are you'll...

Pros: Gameplay, storyline, physics
Cons: No save, graphic glitches, AI dumb at times

"Me Too" games flood the market. After DOOM, the horde of first person shooters came down like an avalanche. Few stood out. System Shock, Quake, and later on Unreal, and of course, Half Life. So in this day and age of online multi gaming, how...

Pros: Good basic concept if your fantasy is to be a stealthy, cold-blooded assassin.
Cons: The interface makes gameplay irritating rather than enjoyable.

For those of us who enjoyed the stealth and sniper action in Deus Ex, Hitman Codename 47 seemed like a fun idea. Sadly, this game has gone straight into my, "What were they thinking?!" collection of failed game designs. Normally a proper game review...

Pros: Slick AI, nice guns.
Cons: no real story line, a blood bath that forces you to think

The big hype was that this game was suppose to be super interactive and realistic. Yet I find the in-game world to have somewhat little interactivity. For example, if you open up the map view, you can clearly see where it marks items such as fire escape...

Pros: Great graphics, gameplay, story.
Cons: Small AI glitches.

The name is self-explanatory. You are a hitman and your job to is to kill for a living (of course you're only paid to kill criminals). But as the game goes on, it becomes clear that the story isn't as simple as the title suggests.

As the game...
