A very mixed opinion for this Opus of an excellent series, and this in two points for summary:-many times of missions of the 1, with an empty story, which is interesting only for the final episode. So no real content, no new gameplay, scenarios, or puzzle (very little in any case). -There is still a Hitman game which is a legendary series for me, and I still took pleasure to rediscover the universe and to immerse myself in some old missions. Also, I think it's a good compromise to say that it makes bridge between the 2 (bein better and much more complete than the 3) and the 4 (which I have not yet played at the time I write this review), especially that it is not very long and not very expensive. So recommended because it's a chapter of a long story, but I'm not going to say that it's a full-fledged video game, facing Hitman: Silent Assassin, which was really more complete at the scripting level and level design. The soundtrack is nonetheless fantastic and the slight graphics upgrade adds a bit of life. Graphics: 14/20. They are good and consistent with the time (FarCry 1 or Fable 1), and the characters are really well worked. Gameplay: 17/20. A bit subjective because I love the mechanics of Hitman, disguise themselves in order to go unnoticed, possess a monster arsenal and use only the piano string, dozens of ways to proceed, but a few points less because not so much novelty compared to the previous Opus, and a little too easy when you get used (points of interest are too obvious to find and use). Soundtrack: 19/20. For the shot extremely satisfied with the image of his two big brothers, an immersive soundtrack, intense moments with the ambiance that goes with. A real success signed Jesper Kyd. Storyline: 8/20. Maybe it's a developer's choice or a fan request, so maybe a bit subjective, but I can't say they have endeavoured to write a story like that of Silent Assassin, the resumption of old levels should have given a "codename 47 HD "and not a" contracts ", and the whole story of the Opus could have been summed up in a cinematic five minutes on a bonus mission of Silent Assassin. But once again, small price and short duration, the 10 hours of play remain enjoyable. Overall: 13/20. Without being revolutionary, Hitman: contracts is a pleasant sequel to Silent Assassin, the missions are quite easily chained without getting bored. This high note is justified by the series that remains excellent, and because I think it announces a 4th part with much more scope. Be silent and bruters, enjoy!
