Hitman Blood Money

[platypus]

Just how damned polished is this game, playing it through for about the 5th time now

Absolutely love it, always have liked the hitman series, from the very first time I played the demo years ago of the chinese restaurant level in the original game, every rendition in the series has been outstanding.

The little improvements and additions they add to tweak the hitman interface also really please me, the fact that they clearly put a lot of thought into how you would actually go about killing someone. How reassuring

As for Hitman:BM in particular, if you know the storyline and have followed it from the start, the final level (without giving too much away) is simply amazing.

The storylines, the level design, the music, all are brilliant. If you haven't tried any of the Hitman series, I suggest you do.

That level, "A House of Cards" was, I think, the hardest mission I've ever done in any game. Working out how to complete that on Silent Assassin (I never use walkthroughs for hitman, its just too much fun working out the levels), took me ages.

I enjoyed the one where you have to get into the bird suit at the carnival. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called now but I love that level. Also enjoy flat line, very good again.

A Murder of Crows, fiendishly hard on expert. Flat line really annoys me, I can't for the life of me complete it without 1 witness. I think Ive narrowed it down to the receptionist but can't work out a way to take her out/get into patients disguise any other way.

Is this the latest game? I have hitman 1 and 2. I loved them both, especially once you've completed the game and can just go through the missions like terminator - all guns blazing. lol.

Yup, but if you haven't played Hitman:Contracts I suggest that aswell.

Aye you won't have any problems running them at all.

The first mission, "A Vintage Year", when you come to axeing the old guy, I couldn't kill him for literally 5 minutes because the piece of Bach (cello suite 1 in g major) he was playing is so beautiful. What other game gives you that?

I'm stuck on the 2nd (or 3rd if you count the training one as the first). I just dunno what to do.

Curtains Down? Took me ages to figure that one out aswell. It involves creating two 'accidents' with light fittings and props. Walkthrough below.








Rig up 2 accidents:

- Check in at the cloakroom, you will receive an authentic WWII pistol.

- Follow the workman (green overalls) by the cloakroom into the toilets (ooer), take his uniform, dispose of body.

- Follow the basement round to the dressing rooms.

- Ascend the staircase to the light rigging balcony opposite star dressing rooms, place mine.

- Wait until the singing bit has finished, and the stars come back. Wait in the dressing room of the officer, not Alvaro the main tenor, he'll go for a wee, sneak in and swap guns, first accident.

- After accident 1 has happened, the fbi guy will rush down to check his friend, set off the bomb and the light rigging will fall on him. If you stay in place be prepared to run as you'll be swarmed by FBI: You can run through the door and through a hole in the floor onto scafolding and out that way. Alternatively stand in a dark spot in the audience pit and detonate from there, second accident.

- Retreive suit from toilets, voila.

Which level is that. (the wine one ?)

First level, "A Vintage Year", or second after the training mission, "Death of a Showman".

 

[platypus]

Thats the one I always leave a witness on, no matter which method of infiltration I use

I think a Hitman movie is in order. Stay tuned ppl

If you set up the second accident first you can be in the lobby of the theatre when it all goes off so no chance of witnesses.

You have to be in the pit to be in range, but yes you set up the second accident first.
