Hitman: Blood Money is the fourth in the Hitman series. In this game you once again take on the role of Agent 47, a Class-I clone. Like in the other Hitman games you are given a specific target or targets and must assassinate them according to your style. What’s new about Blood Money is that this time you’ve got a little thing called notoriety. In a nutshell notoriety is your reputation. The higher the Notoriety the harder the game becomes. As your notoriety rises security is tighter, there are more guards, and you’re easierto identify. Notoriety carries on between missions but that doesn’t mean it stays forever. After every mission you may use your millions of dollars to either buy new weapons, or lower your notoriety.
As you progress through the game you will pick up new weapons from the missions. If you end a mission with a weapon you found in it you will get to keep it for the rest of the game. There are many weapons to find and it is suggested you try to find the Desert Eagle as soon as possible because it is extremely useful in situations where you are outnumbered and need to make every shot count. But aside from the found weapons there are also Custom-Weapons that you keep in your Hideout. These weapons can be upgraded usually giving you cool add-ons like Silencers, Laser Sights, and increased ammo.
As for the other method to spend your money you can after every mission you are given these three options: Bribe Civilians, Bribe Police Chief, Buy New Identity. Each of these lowers your notoriety more then the previous one.
Overall Hitman: Blood Money is worth the money, the interesting combat simulator along with the hundred different methods of completing your missions, and all the extra hidden stuff you can find, makes it a quality game which I greatly recommend.
