  Listen here Jack. This game is old. If you didn't grow up playing games like this, then you are going to have a hard time. What do I mean by this? Well the quality of life improvements in newer games are missing. In layman's terms, it is janky and unforgiving. No regenerating health for starters. No medkits either, just kevlar vests that function as a second health bar. If you get shot in the head, that kevlar vest isn't doing jack shit and your health is going to go down real quick. Your guns have random spread. This is typical of games by the developer IO Interactive. If you played Kane & Lynch 2, you'll know what I mean. No quick saves, and the checkpoints are useless in a game like this. Press Shift+ESC and restart the level. The controls are weird. Run and walk are mapped to separate keys. You'll get used to them. This game was programmed for Windows 95/98, so unless you haven't upgraded your operating system in the past 20 years, then you will have to patch the game to work on your modern PC. The patch is posted in the community hub, and applying it is simple. For the most part, none of these gameplay gripes matter because you are supposed to play as an assassin, not Rambo. Quiet kills with the piano wire, knife and silenced firearms, and clever disguises will get you far and keep you off the radar of the guards. If you find yourself getting shot up by guards, or running around with an AK-47, then you are playing the game all wrong. However this becomes an issue in the series of missions set in [spoiler] Colombia and the final mission of the game. [/spoiler] These missions play more like a third person shooter. You will get smoked by guards who don't miss a shot, and you will be frantically running around with a Kalashnikov. This might sound like a lot of complaining, but I still recommend this game. The missions that let you silently infiltrate a large compound and assassinate your mark are some of the most satisfying moments in the stealth game genre. If you don't like the hand holding in modern games, the waypoints, the X-ray vision, the intentionally dumb guards, then this game is for you. If you can tolerate goofy early 2000s graphics with weird controls then this game is for you. If you like your games slow paced, and with minimal direction given to the player, this game for you. If you want to support a top notch developer that still makes these kinds of games for the people who play them, this game is for you. If you like the number 47, then this game is for you.

  My review is totally in respect that the game was published back in 2000. You will never finish a level as a 'silent assassin' unless u die and die and die and die again , it is hard it is challenging and there is no helpers, u need to figure everything on ur own by dying and dying and dying, damn even the tutorial wasn't clear, but still there is more than one way to finish your mission and once you figure them out, you will go through the level as smoothly and satisfying as it can get. I love this game, still playable after 14 years, even with the old graphics and AI system.

  Yes, it is jank, but it's enjoyable jank. Hitman: Codename 47 takes you back to that era where games had no qualms with frustrating the player with trial and error gameplay, no checkpoints, and isn't concerned with being a bit unfair, and with that comes a sense of accomplishment when you actually complete a mission. Rarely can a modern game provide the same thrill of successfully taking out your target and sneaking out the back without anyone noticing.

  Hitman: Codename 47 is the game that started a whole franchise and presented one of games' most recognizable characters: Agent 47. This game has great ideas impaired by technical limitations, both from the technology of the time and the budget, but counters it by having fun gameplay and a flawless story. It is amazing how intelligent games were back then, detailing storylines and interesting characters displayed with an easy-to-follow presentation. At the beginning of every mission you go to a briefing where you learn about your target and the details surrounding the hit you are going to perform. This is presented all in text and all you have to do is read it. One of the most interesting aspects of the game is the video of the target filmed by an ICA agent - which gives us an idea of how organized the Agency is. After the briefing you have the mission map and the equipment list of what you want to bring with you in order to complete your mission. So read the briefing, study the map and pay attention to your surroundings - patrolling paths, NPCs you can talk to, different entry points etc. The game almost always gives you several different courses of action, but it is much more linear than its sequels. There is always one strategy that was clearly the one intended by the developers and level designers; if you are having a very hard time in a mission, or if you take much longer than 10 minutes, chances are you're on the wrong track. Missions take around 5-10 minutes to complete, provided you know what you have to do. You might be able to complete missions in a different way, but it will usually be a much, much harder way. Hitman: Codename 47 is a stealth game and, therefore, discourages shootouts - but they do happen as part of some missions. This one is a feature I like, even if the moving and shooting mechanics are clanky, as killing a few guards shows how heavily protected your targets are. You have to do that in the Ochoa mission and the Rotterdam missions; and I dread how this feature was abondened in later games. Agent 47 was cloned through the DNA of his French Foreign Legion fathers not to be just an assassin, but to be the perfect soldier; so he knows how to handle himself in a firefight. This game also has some great details, such as the greatest voice line ever uttered in a video game: "I need to use the BATHroom". You have to chat with NPCs in order to gather intel, so pay attention. Some voice dialog are weird and somewhat funny, but Lei Ling's best voice is in this version. You will mostly hear “He’s packing!” and “This guys is loaded!” at first, but dialogue such as Ort-Meyer's provide needed context. The most enduring feature of the Hitman series is the collective of creative kills and approaches, and many of those came from movies (as the game itself). The hit on the Chief of Police took the idea of planting the pistol in the bathroom from the God Father. Ochoa's character is taken from Al Pacino's Tony Montana (Scarface) but the mission looks really based in Sniper (1993) - the targets in both game and movie are called Ochoa - and the soldiers really look like a South American drug army. One of the most creative missions is "Traditions of the Trade" (the best version), where you have to talk to NPCs and have many different ways of killing Fritz - plus an emblematic hit on Frantz. Ochoa is the most wronged of the fathers in the series: Colombia has a more military feel, already opening with 47 looking like a jungle warrior king in the loading screen and then rappeling into the middle of the jungle by helicopter. Plus exotic natives, leaf physics and Ochoa's threats during the gunfight - that are hilarious. With all 5 fathers having served in Indochina, the jungle setting is a nice touch and should have been remade (albeit smaller and self-contained in one mission). Cutscenes and loading screens are great: the cutscene of Tzun protecting Lee Hong from Agent 47 and the killing of Fritz Fuchs in the pool or the sauna. Given this game was first conceived as a Chinese mobster action game, it is no surprise the Hong Kong missions are so memorable. The presentation screen of Lee Hong, the Lei Ling character arc, saving Agent Smith, and getting the jade figurine. While people make some constructive complaints, some of them are not - like not having a command for dropping a body, even though all you need to do is hit the right mouse button, something I got right the first time I played (back in the day). This game is not hard if you're well informed but it's punishing; its main flaw being the faulty AI, with an awereness problem and very thick skin. The guards' AI has only two modes - idle and combat - and sometimes they simply "know" 47 is bad news. Nowhere in this game is this more evident than in Ochoa's hit, with guards attacking you for no reason, and that's why so many people hate it. Add to that the poor knife mechanic where you can easily slit someone's throat with it, but if he moves you go into a thrust mode. One or two strikes is something you can do before being shot, but needing 4-6 stabs to kill a target is simply too much. Another complaint about the Colombian missions is the "bad design" of the enemy camp, where you need to run all over the other side of the fence to enter the camp; but this is misplaced, as the design both serves to show you the size of the camp with its many guard patrols, showing how well-guarded the drug lord is, and also because you sneaked from behind said camp. The main strengths of this game are the story and the atmosphere. The soundtrack made by Jesper Kyd is simply amazing and conveys a perfect immersion to the different settings - action, suspense, fear. My favorites are the Hong Kong and Colombian settings, with their exotic themes. Maps are quite big and populated. The henchmen in each mission are also expertly done and genuine: they range from Chinese Triad members to Colombian drug soldiers, biker gangsters and masked gunrunners. The NPCs are also diverse, with bartenders, hotel staff and sex workers. The presentation is near flawless with unique signature kills and different approaches to make the perfect hit, giving Agent 47 a solid entry into the assassination business.

  Over the past few weeks I decided to revisit one of my favourite ever series, Hitman. Amazing to think that this was released 15 years ago! Still so much fun to be had to this day. One of my favourite features of this game is that it was one of the first of its generation to introduce ragdoll physics to their system. Also, I believe this was the first stealth game I ever played. I remember finding it incredibly frustrating to be the “perfect” assassin, however as years have gone on I’ve appreciated the game more and more and adapted to all situations now with ease. Take your first steps as Subject 47 and guide him through the beginning of his ICA International Contract Agency career. Tip: Watch out for n°48!

  I thought Hitman: Codename 47 was a great entry point for the series defining what it is that Agent 47 does and how he came to be. Just like any game from 2000 there will be many flaws in A.I. and level designing. Most of the levels were small and only had one or two ways of completion but that is fine because with a saving system like this one it really would have been a nightmare to beat this game. If you are caught, killed and hit space to continue from a checkpoint the guards will still be on alert EVEN if you are loaded back in an area you are sure you were safe in; they WILL find you. That is one of my very few gripes with this game as it still delivers satisfying gameplay with a variety of fun hits. The story, in my opinion is the game's strength but it only picks up in the end quarter of the game and for me, it did not disappoint. Learning how 47 was created and by who was pretty awesome and I enjoyed watching it unfold. Most gamers overlook this rewarding game but I highly recommend they try it out if they are a big Hitman fan! Personal Score: 7/10
