Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine: Hitman: Blood Money

Money may be the root of all evil, and that’s just fine for Agent 47—as long as it’s in the form of cold, hard cash. The gaming world’s most beloved assassin is back in Blood Money, with a fresh story, bigger, better weapons and equipment and an all-new upgrade path. A skillful kill means a big payday, and the cleaner and quieter the hit, the greater the fee. Cash accumulation leads to dozens of upgrades, including silencers, faster reload times, and increased accuracy.

Blood Money features larger, more detailed environments (the casino level we saw looked sharp, down to the decorative Arabian Nights theme), and the improved lighting and camera control make it easier to execute stealth hits (notoriety plays a factor as well, so while you will be able to complete a mission with guns ablazin’, you’ll be more easily recognized in later missions). As the story goes, our hair-challenged Agent 47 finds himself in the middle of a war between rival assassination agencies, and already a few of his colleagues have been bumped off. Could he be next? What happens when the assassin becomes the mark? Let’s just call this one Mr. & Mrs. Hitman.
