Well, first night of my first hitman game.
Did the tutorial mission, changing to 1st person mode, soon changed back!
Everything seemed good, don't think the graphics are up to Tomb Raider standards but still.
Then wham, thrown into the first level 'A Vintage Year' and after the hand holding of the tutorial was a bit flumoxed to say the least. Ran around like a headless chicken with no idea what to do, then slowly started thinking, how can I put it, 'differently'. Eventually got enough info., followed enough people, had enough luck, did enough lateral thinking (and probably drank enough wine) I did it, and a silent assassin achievement to boot.
On to 'Curtain's Down' (level 2) and really starting to love it. Nice pace; working things out and replaying bits to get it right never feels cumbersome or frustrating and I hope the rest of levels are as much fun.
Still don't really feel I know what I'm doing but I don't really care, I'll pick it up, this is fun and a nice refreshing change. So, so far, it's recommended.
