REVIEW OF THE GAME:

Hitman: Absolution is a pretty divisive game. In general, it's more successful with people who, like me, are not very familiar with the franchise. So I guess you're more likely to like it if you haven't played the previous games before. I can't speak for the gameplay differences (besides the obvious ones), but I can say this one is pretty effective. You're a Hitman, so your job is generally to kill targets, and this game has dozens of ways to do so, and most of them are really satisfying. You can also choose to approach the situation in a stealthy way or go guns blazing, and you can pretty much succeed in both ways. This is something Hitman veterans don't like much, since, as I understand it, previous games FORCED the stealth. I can't understand this complaint, honestly. I think a game is better when it gives you a choice of how to play it rather than force you to do it one way or the other.

One obvious difference would be that, since the story makes you a rogue agent in run from the agency that you're usually employed on, you can't use the agency's resources. That means, again, another obvious difference in gameplay: you're on your own. You can't get equipment before a mission, you have to procure it on your own. And sometimes you don't have intel either, so you have to find things on your own. Again, veterans don't like this change, and that's a bit more understandable, but I think it does for a nice change of pacing. You're the same character with the same skills, only now you're on a situation that escapes your control and you're practically out of help. I really think it makes for a more interesting adventure.

The major difference (and the most divisive one) is the story. As I hear it, previous Hitman games are very light on story, but this one has a very prominent story arc. Now, the naysayers are not complaining about an excess of storyline (well, maybe in a way, if you count the excess of cinematics), but the fact that the story is terrible. Well, there are two ways to look at the story: it's either one of the stupidest ones ever written, or it's a masterful satire. I tend to incline for the second option. Not only it makes the game infinitely more enjoyable, it's also the more likeliest explanation. Otherwise I'd have to believe the writers are able to fail this hard and still able to tell their mouths from their eyes when feeding themselves. No, trust me, these people are "failing" on purpose.

In any case, while the cutscenes might be a bit excessive (not in their lenght, but in their importance), they're extremely well acted. The voice acting is top notch, and the animations are great. In fact, the game looks amazing, not just in resolution, as the retro art style makes it look like a classic movie.

Besides story mode, the game includes a "Contracts" mode, which is basically the ability to replay story missions with different objectives, either dictated by yourself or by other players, whose contracts you can download anytime. It's really addictive, and it's closest to what previous Hitman games did. In fact, it makes me understand the complaints even less. Hitman veterans have their classic game here: no story, just follow the objectives given to eliminate your targets. And there's potentially an infinite number of missions, due to the user-created content.

REVIEW OF THE PROFESSIONAL EDITION:

This edition is pretty slick. The packaging of the game includes a cardboard cover that gives you the synopsis of the game, like a regular slipcover, but inside it's a hard box with beautiful minimalistic art containing the game, the extra disc, the DLC and the art book. The hardcover art book has more or less the size of a DVD box, so don't expect poster-sized art, but it's pretty nice and very detailed. The included extra disc it's a documentary on the game. While it's nothing out of the ordinary, it does show the passion the developers had, and it looks to confirm my belief that these guys knew exactly the kind of game they were making. The DLC includes a bunch of guns for use only in the Contracts mode. There's no DLC released for the story mode.

Is it worth the money? Hell yes. Specially now, that it's discounted so low it's practically the same as stealing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hitman Ever! Super Value! Tons of Replay!
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2015
Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Edition: ProfessionalVerified Purchase
Fantastic game, and at it's current price it is an absolute steal. This iteration of the Hitman series is easily the best yet. So many ways to play, many different options to complete your objectives and they all have their own benefits and challenges. The Challenge system is great. The combat is realistic, mostly, and it really gets you into the spirit of the game being able to complete challenges in so many ways. Replay value is extremely high. I've already played the first several campaign missions several times each in order to try different methods of completing them.
In addition the game also offers a fantastic online mode where you can create and share your own missions or play those designed by others. Being able to build a level and decide how the player must identify, assassinate, and escape is a lot of fun. Many people have created some truly awesome missions. BTW, as an added feature whenever you pause during a level, you will be offered contracts created by other players that you can attempt without disturbing your progress. Great game.

Hitman Absolution is a good game. This is the only game I've played from the Hitman series and it was very fun playing the professional assassin for hire. The gameplay is heavily reliant on stealth and precision. You have the option to play it as loud and careless as any other shooter game but you are punished by negative points. The game requires patience and planning to master. I was very impressed by the graphics. What I loved about this game was the fact that any mission can be done in several ways and it is up to the player to decide. The competitive multiplayer Contracts are interesting for a while, but fail to keep you interested after a few trials. There just isn't any real incentive to do the Contracts. Overall, it was a fun game to play.

The Professional Edition comes in a box set that contains a bonus content CD, an illustrated book, and extra weapons dlc.

lets just start with this, SUARE ENIX!+Hitman=GREATNESS!!! should i have to say ne thing else? this is a beautiful, fun and all around great game. even the online play doesnt bring the fun lvl down, from being able to pick your own targets, the weapons u use on them, and even wat you wear while taking out your targets is pretty sweet (imo) then share with ppl online. the thing i really enjoyed was the re-play factor of the main story, most games i find myself beating it once n moving on, but with hitman u can play it over and over again and still be doin things u didnt do on other playthroughs. also the story, characters and even the envirments are great. now i have expirenced some trophy glitches (collecting all play styles) on the ps3 version but like i said, i had no problem goin back and playing it again to get it. bring out your inner assassin and buy hitman: absolution today, or 47 will find you!

Si eres amante de los juegos de sigilo este juego te encantara, me encanta como hay mas de una manera de eliminar a los objetivos pero igual el juego te ayuda mucho, los logros obtenibles todas las pistas que necesitas. El juego tambien te da la opcion de pasarlo matando a todos, es menos limpio pero tambien es una posibilidad.

En cuanto a la version los DLC que contiene no son mas que armas extra, nada del otro mundo y como menciono en el titulo la presentacion es la que es muy bonita, solo recomiendo esta version si es que ves una muy buena oferta o porque eres fan de la saga Hitman, de ahi en mas mejor busca la version standard no te perderas de nada.

I usually won't waste my time writing these but this game definitely exceeded my expectations, and my expectations for it were pretty high. If you've played the earlier Hitman games it still has that familiarity but the experience is definitely enhanced with all the new features. The story mode is fairly top notch for a video game and the voice acting was also fairly good. Online features allow you to play other people's contracts or you can make your own, the more contracts you complete the more money you get to buy extras so it gets pretty addictive. You definitely get your money's worth with this game.
