I actually bought this about a week back, I had just finished Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven and was in the mood for some more stealthy goings on with plenty of blood.
It's ridiculously bad. The controls are the worst I've ever used, after getting used to Tenchu and Hitman before that, I was expecting to be able to use the right analog for moving and the left be a 360 viewing camera. No, that camera is about 140 degrees.
All stealth kills are view in a supposedly dodge camera with viewing difficulties. It doesn't add to the illosuion, it just makes it seem like the 20 sdecond cutscene it is. And that takes it away from you feeling like you quietly snuck up on this guy and took him out.
Got bored it so quickly, Hitman: Blood Money was bought within the week.
Incidently, I miss kritic.
