Hitman III (PS5)

Great product. Just what I ordered. Came on time.

A very good game for those who are like me that love playing single player 007 style type of gaming. This game is if I may say a work of art Great details Great graphics definitely a must for me hoping that ioi makes the 007 game we have all been waiting for!

Hitman 3 is the best game in the series and it isn’t close. In a rather generic and forgettable series, Hitman 3 is its own beast and excels beyond expectation. It blows away its predecessors and in the process, makes a run for the best stealth game ever, competing with the likes of Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell.The real strength of Hitman 3 is the sheer beauty of its levels. They are huge, incredibly detailed, immersive, memorable, interactive and some of the best ever seen in a video game. The Dartmoor level is particularly special, a mansion in England with an old school Theodore Roosevelt feel. The dark brown wood carvings scream class and make the player feel like they are really inside of this upper class mansion. Take over the master den on the third floor and really feel like a boss. Most objects in the levels are satisfyingly destructible and the player can make a real mess.Stealth action plays a huge role in Hitman 3, especially on its hardest difficulty, which offers a great challenge. Being confronted with more than a couple of guards is a sure way to lose your life. They will shoot at you relentlessly, radio for reinforcements and you will be forced to run away and find a place to hide. Then, if the guard that spotted you wasn’t killed, then he will report what you were wearing and you will be compromised. You will either have to get a different uniform or sneak around the level while compromised. There are lock picks, keycards and all sorts of gadgetry to make you feel like a secret agent. The stealth action is simply brilliant and not many games have pulled it off this well.Where Hitman 3 falls well short is in its structure because it really doesn’t have any. The player is given a couple of targets to assassinate and maybe a safe to crack. You can even press a button and see exactly where your targets are and which direction they are going in, leaving no challenge whatsoever in locating them. Then, the player escapes the level and that’s the end of it. The levels are open and completely non-linear, giving the game no real direction. The player can just go for the targets and exit the level or explore every beautiful inch of every level. The only fun part about completing the objectives is that you know a great new level will be waiting once you escape. Even the menus are unintuitive and the presentation really suffers, even though the music in the main menu is fantastic.The story in Hitman 3 is standard for the series and the cutscenes are well done. It’s not very memorable but sufficiently entertaining. Agent 47 is once again the main character, full with the barcode on the back of his neck. He is as intimidating and charming as ever, confidently strutting about in a suit or whatever attire he can find. All the guards and people are a real treat to interact with.The great replay value in Hitman 3 doesn’t come from the objectives, since they aren’t complex at all and kind of dull. It comes from simply messing around in the great levels. The game is unpredictable and fear can strike at any moment. You can play the same level 50 times and have something new happen every time. Shooting at a room full of people then running away to hide in a box or closet while they look for you is thrilling. There are loads of things you can do to the people within the levels to assassinate them in fun ways. To get their attention and get them away from others, you can leave a faucet running, turn off a fuse box or cause a gas leak and shoot the hazardous gas, resulting in a massive explosion. You can also spike someone’s drink then watch them run to the bathroom to do their business and, of course, execute them in cold blood. You simply won’t run out of things to do in Hitman 3. At least, not for a very long time.The levels are really the bread and butter of Hitman 3. They are unforgettable, beautiful and show real value. They make you extremely optimistic about the inevitable Hitman 4 and the future of this game engine. Despite its shortcomings in structure and wholeness, Hitman 3 is obviously a must own for any fan of the stealth genre. It puts itself in a different class than its predecessors, and will appeal to anyone looking for an excellent game that you can pick up and have fun with anytime, for a long, long time.

Es uno de los peores juegos que he adquirido, es muy inestable (presenta errores súbitamente) y la jugabilidad es muy pobre

They shipped the game in a soft package so of course when I get it the case is shattered and the disk is loose in the bag, the disk still works somehow so thats something.

I'm relatively new to Hitman and only bought the first two games last year. I eagerly awaited the finale and it's a somewhat disappointing end. Some of it feels phoned in and the ending and final mission are not great payoff. The deluxe edition only includes two more escalations than the standard and neither the soundtrack or the book that are supposed to come with it are available. Also, when you carryover your progress from previous games, it does not import everything. All previous escalations are reset (which was not a detail released until after the game launched), and certain items/suits have been removed from the game. Some side missions and challenges have also been removed or significantly changed. I don't think there's nearly as much replayability with Hitman 3 as there was with the first two games. The deluxe edition has not been worth it.
