As in the previous games, Hitman: Blood Money rewards stealth and careful planning, but if you want to try to run and gun your way through the levels, you have that option. However, if you slip up (or deliberately blow your cover), you can always try to shoot your way out. All of these places tend to be filled with armed guards as well as civilians, so you'll need to exercise caution in order to take out your targets and escape undetected. Mardi Gras is particularly impressive, its streets jam-packed with people partying. The game does a great job of realizing each of these different settings, making them feel appropriately large, complex, and alive. There are more than a dozen missions in all, and most of them are set somewhere in the United States, such as a Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans, an Egyptian-themed Las Vegas casino, a rehab clinic in Northern California, a stately riverboat traveling the Mississippi, a posh Los Angeles suburb, and more. Subsequent missions are substantially tougher and less linear, but this first one still is representative of the types of moody, affecting scenarios you'll encounter in the game. Despite the number of armed thugs you'll need to get through before putting the Swing King out of his misery, this mission is easy, provided you follow the step-by-step instructions you're given. 47's employer has asked that a photo of a deceased loved one be the last image that the crook ever sees.but when you finally reach him, he's just this sad worm of a man who grovels at 47's feet. This man, called the Swing King, even entered the drug business in the wake of his theme park's collapse. The starting mission leads you by the nose through one of 47's typical assignments-to eliminate a shady theme park operator, whose negligence once cost the lives of many innocent people. He'll learn more of the rival agency's motives as he completes his own jobs, all leading up to a surprising and climactic conclusion. The previous games' stories are alluded to during the course of this one, in which 47 discovers that he and his employer are being threatened by some other mysterious agency. Returning players will be in for a comfortably familiar experience.
In fact, you'll probably be more impressed with the game if you've never played one of these before. This is the fourth game in the Hitman series, but previous experience with the past games isn't assumed or required.
