I played the demo for this last night on Xbox, and as a fan of both Hitman 2 and Hitman: Contracts, I must say I'm definitely looking forward to this. The graphics (even on regular Xbox) are a VAST improvement over Hitman: Contracts. If you've played the previous games, the gameplay is basically the same, same controls, etc. The neatest new thing, IMO, is that when you finish a level, you are shown a newspaper article that describes what you just did (instead of just having a screen showing total bullets fired, number killed, etc). The article will describe the number of shots fired, the type of weapon the police believe was used, whether or not the killer (you, IOW) was an experienced assassin or just a trigger happy psycho. Another neat thing is that the civilian NPCs in the game will start to recognize you from the newspaper articles if you always go in guns blazing, so they might point you out on the street in certain missions and alert the police, very cool. All in all, it looks to be a neat game and I plan on picking it up.
