Does this apply if you've already pre-ordered? Edit: Yes it does :D!

Yep it's a scathing review - lots of negativity when compared to Blood Money.

From skim reading the bad points include:
  • Small levels, where you basically kill to get to a door on the other side of the map
  • DRM means you have to be online connected to IO's servers
  • No mid-mission save function
  • Buggy stealth / line of sight
  • Dodgy disguise system
  • Needs a high-spec PC to play

Hmmm.... some of this suggest it might be worth cancelling the pre-order and seeing other reviews/opinions?

:eek: I really hope not..
 
lol pc gamer... No doubt black ops 2 will be a 90+% review...

I think if you're a hardcore Hitman fan a lot of those points can be said for the previous games. Getting caught when you know you shouldn't have, and not getting caught when you know you should have - are part of Hitman.

For £19.85, I still can't wait to play.

Did you buy it off steam?

If not you dont get them

Well that sucks. :(

I think I will wait for more opinions, if its bad, i'll just sell my key, there are much more useful things I could be doing with the money I get back.

Having thought about this today, I think you're right. Even Blood Money suffered from inaccurate detection. And I never used saved games mid-level, I always tried to achieve a perfect silent assassin from map start to end.

The review says some of the new features work really well, and the graphics & vocal soundtrack is good - so perhaps some of the PC Gamer review is a "bit rose-tinted glasses"?

I'm going to stick with my pre-order and if it turns out to be crap, it'll probably still be better than 90% of the console ports coming out recently.

Nail on the head to be honest, been playing Blood money today and whilst its still good, i think if that came out today it would score low ish, hitman has been a like it or hate it sort of game.

Exactly, Blood Money is a fantastic game but would most likely score similar numbers if released today..maybe even lower.
 
Have there been any online reviews yet? I've heard a couple of the major magazines have slated it :(
