It's hard to deny the appeal of Hitman: Codename 47 . What action fan hasn't wanted to slip into the suit of a diamond-hard assassin-for-hire equally adept at both stealthy hits and all-out assaults? Hitman certainly provides you with the tools of the trade, offering everything from piano wire and silenced pistols to bull-pup submachine guns and predator-style miniguns. It also lets you perform many of the tricks of the trade, like stealing your enemy's clothes and dragging bodies away so roving patrols won't stumble onto them and get curious. Unfortunately, heavily scripted level design and some fairly dumb enemies get in the way of the fun, forcing players to rely more on memorization than quick reactions. Be prepared to play each level several times just to figure out exactly how to accomplish your objectives, and several times after that to successfully carry them out. At least there was a lot to look at as we repeated each level. Hitman has some of the most beautiful graphics ever placed Less

Hitman: Brains AND Brawn.

byAlkaiser Dec 3, 2000
67 Helpfuls 68 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great action, thinking required instead of just shooting.
Cons Graphics not up to snuff, pop-up in the game engine.
Recommended it? Yes

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 swings by and drops of the game that would divide up my... Read full review »

Instructions for how to be a Hitman.

bygrimjack2 Jul 21, 2001
27 Helpfuls 28 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Graphics, Physics, Concept, Realism, and More!
Cons Bad keyboard layout. Frame hits when you need it the smoothest.
Recommended it? Yes

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 techniques to infiltrate the enemy like switching... Read full review »

"Battle for Middle-Earth II" A Great Addition To Lord Of The Rings Frachise.

byPandemonium Jun 11, 2008
58 Helpfuls 59 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Beautiful graphics, great sound, War of the Ring mode great addition, AI is much smarter.
Cons Single player campaign mode very bland.
Recommended it? Yes

For the fans of Middle-earth (I am one of them) here comes another game for us to enjoy. With the first installment covering all three movies what could this game be about? Would it be more of an expansion game rather than a stand a lone title? What would be enough different content in this game... Read full review »

The Best Movie Licenced Game of All Time

byjohnenfield Apr 11, 2008
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros THE RTS game for Lord of the Rings fans.
Cons Medieval Total War is better if you want to pull off complex battle strategy.
Recommended it? Yes

I am a big fan of the Lord of the Rings books and movies. While the movies leave out a lot that is in the books (they had to unless they wanted to make it a TV series instead of three movies), they capture the magic and themes well. In some ways, the Battle for Middle Earth games delve into the... Read full review »
