... I've just recently been informed that Austrian isn't a language, which I was already completely aware of. It's German. As I said, I already knew this. I don't know why I wrote Austrian, other than the fact that I rode on Austrian Airlines to Russia, and they stole $400 from me. So yes, I fucking killed everyone in Hitman 3 that spoke German, Austrian, Germo-Austrian, Austro-German, and fuckall. The Russians, too. So fuck you, and your cat. Love, Don
... Morbid, no? Hitman: Contracts, otherwise known as Hitman 3 has been in my possession for 48 hours, now. Graphically, there are only minor improvements from the wonderful Hitman 2. The environmental detail appears to be a little better, and the character modelings are perhaps slightly improved, but the real noticeable change is in the wide variety of costumes, weaponry, music, and linguistic work that went into this game. There's nothing more satisfying than listening to people beg for their lives in a multitude of languages. So far, I've heard Russian, Romanian, Austrian, and English, and I've made it to level 6. The music is more intense, depending on the scenario. In some of the more shady, drug-hussling locations, harder Euro-rock is raging in the background, and the music is distributed (by volume) depending on where you are located in the area. We've covered languages, but let's cover some sickening details. If you were to, say, shoot a civilian once in the stomach, they will not die. They will, instead, fall over and roll around in the floor and beg for help in their native tongue until you put them out of their misery. Twisted, Eidos Interactive. Very twisted. I salute you. I probably don't need to really review this game, because more than likely anyone who has played the previous games and enjoyed them know that Hitman 3 is worth every dime. There's nothing that was included in previous games that was discluded, this time. You'll more than likely prefer calling this Hitman 2 and a half, but hey, a continuation of a gorey and otherwise insanely hillarious title (I'm twisted, too) isn't a bad thing. 9/10. Buy it, fool. Onimusha 2 review sometime later this week. - Don
