liked the first one but havent really cared to try any of the sequals. wont bother with this last gen port but im interested to see what they do with an actual next gen hitman.

SWEEET!

these are the games i have gamefly for.

Nice DLing it now thx.

DANGIT! I gotta get home! *drool*!!!

I sent my gf an AIM message and asked her to d/l it right now while i'm at work!

In my best Mr Burns voice "Eeexcellent..."

Phuck!

I have to wait until Tuesday of next week to give it a shot
I just moved and SBC is lagging like a mofo to set up my voice and DSL service.

I loved Hitman 2, so I think I might like this game.
Even though it looks like crap for a X360 game

jesus... over 2 hours and at 59%....

Download is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Holding and timing out at about 55% so hopefully it will be worth the wait seeing as I can't play COD2 while I'm downloading( hint hint MS wherefore art thou XBL update?).

lol.. you cant play retail games! just XBLA

I think that what you meant to say was& quot;Slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooow".

As you can see by my Gamercard I'm also play COD2.

Meh.

downloading the demo and "also play" call of duty 2 at the same time?

well Meh you.

i dropped the connect and started to redownload and its going a little bit faster, about 1% every minute or two.

shnuggle gundle. im dling right now.

Damned my fast and careless typing!

'playing'

But I'm assuming you got the jist of what I was saying. I found it quite anecdotal considering COD2 is quite an unplayed game when you look at peoples gamercards and it just so happened that we were both playing it and no I didn't mean at the same time as downloading. I meant in general.

Also how come every time i press the inverted comma key it says & quot?

Meh


And flinky shminky dink tinky plink dink to you!

its not bad. the graphics r kick ass. i gotta get used to a game like this tho. ill be getting it.

i think call of duty 2 is the best xbox 360 online game at the moment.

I have to agree..COD2 is the best ever game online I gave up all the other games including Oblivion and Graw:S its totally an addiction

Mine keeps hanging at 54% or thereabouts. Frustrating.

Mine downloaded fine a couple hours after it was put up. Still havent played it, any opinions on how good/bad the demo is?

its great the game is really looking good i will be buying this one

Hitman looks bad ass, but I ran into a glitch in the demo already.... when you walk into the guy's office (forgot his name) after pushing the gangster over the rail and poisoning his secretary...he isnt in his office but the game goes on as if he is there. You hear him talking to you and everything but he is not in the room..... I looked around everywhere and I couldn't find him to kill him. I played it yesterday and he was right there.....weird.

Hitman games have always had little glitches here and there unfortunately.

Havent played the demo yet tho

And I gotta wait 5 days to give the game a spin....
I'm so pissed right now it isn't even funny

Got it working. Slow download, but it was worth it! The character models are last-gen, but saved by a nice quirky design typical of Eidos, the scenery is detailed and interesting, the gameplay... well, you're led by the hand in this, but its fun and full of different turns. Music is great, although the fake rap is kinda pathetic. Stereotypes about as usual too, Hitman is famous for them.

What does blow me away is how this ran on my PC, which I keep quite clean for playing games. Nothing here taking up space. With all the next gen effects, minus aa at 1024x768, this game has framerate issues. It's an average spec, getting on a bit... Athlon 3000XP, 1.5GB PC2700, Geforce 6600GT, A7v8x... the mobo is fast enough for the components, it's not a truly slow PC and ran BF2 and SC:CT with no hiccups. But Hitman showed the difference between it and the 360. Even with all the ram it ran slow. Makes me happy I got a 360 as upgrading this baby would take more that just a new g-card...

15minutes and im at 50%

I recently re discovered it and I have to agree that the graphics are still fantastic on it. Shame that there is no envronment interaction, it has some pretty bad animation on characters (although the AI of your team is very good) and unfortunately, unlike the PC version. it doesn't keep bodies on the ground. It's always nice to see them pilling up

Been way more addicted to BF2:MC of late even if it is a rehash and not as good as the pc version it's still a great online experience.

Oh yeah and back on topic. The hitman demo seemed to be a bad port of a PS2 game engine with added soft shadows, 720p support and environmental lighting. Not worth the additional cost just for the pirvilege of playing it on a 360.

Get it from www.playasia.com for $39.99 US plus $3 shipping worldwide... Since the game is region free

you can play xbla games while downloading? how? if i try to exit the download screen it says that i'm gonna cancel my download.

jesus you people

the dashboard update is not out yet that allows for background downloading while your playing.
are you people so much in the closet that you cant even read the front page of this website OR notice on your own friggin xbox that there was no dashboard update ?



this demo... and the PDZ demo what a friggin waste...

the hitman demo... YAYYYYYY another fucking rehashed fucking PC game!@!!!!! YAYYYY!!!!!!!
more shitgames!!!!!!!

i have lost total faith in this xbox360 i had seriously high hopes for it but after playing PDZ, hitman, Test Drive, and many others.. WTF is the point they are all shit games ?
are we to believe that the 2 or 3 games coming up are going to save the 360 ? jesus... wtf..
mcrosft you have screwed up everything with the 360 since its retarded launch.. when the hell are you going to get a clue..

WE DONT WANT F#$%$ING REHASHED PC GAMES AND REHASHED XBOX ! GAMES!!!!

mercy, we seem slightly upset.... i dont know about the majority of the other ppl here in this forum, but i love my xbox360 (i imagine most of them like theirs too since they are here....... -why you're here i don't know-)

i asked a simple question bc it seemed like the previous poster was saying you could play xbla and dl at the same time.... bc i think i do remember downloadin some sort of dash update a while ago..... but apparently not,.... no need to go get all pissy, jesus man....

I like this game, I LOVE the graphics as well as the style in which they are done.
(and took me about 30 minutes last night to D/L at about 1pm Eastern time)

I might pick this one up, I'd never played a Hitman game before and I am quite pleased.

wow.. it sucks...

To bad, if you played previous hitmen you may like the game. It's pretty good. Sneak, snipe, choke guys etc. Classic hitmen just new missions different scenarios new baddies to kill. I think the graphics are well done and reflect what I've seen on the PC. I may end up getting this one.

If you think it sucks then you have very high standards, or you just complain about every game that is not "made" for your tastes. And without constructive criticism as well. Well done.



You ain't kidding about the fake rap. I was thinking it was the kind you heard from the 80s that was pretty bad. Quite funny.

I do like however how the newspaper reflects on what you did in teh mission. I was called a highly trained marksman. Only firing 17 shots. The story about the lemonade stand getting demolished was hilarious.

destroyed the demo flat. took no time at all. if this is 39.99, I would definatley buy this.

its good to hear different opinions on this game... a lot better than people just saying IT SUCKS and not backing it up... thank you

It sucks really bad. reasons I give and my opinion of course.

#1. Prior gen graphics. Weak character models, nothing flashy in backgrounds and even slowdown at times.
#2. Horrible controls. Really feels floaty and not precise as I would prefer.
#3. Terrible animations. I mean he walks like he has a stick up his you know what.
#4. Voice acting is also weak.

Add this up and what do you get? Another watered down past gen port. Nothing More. I will spend my $$ else where thank you.

yeah, this really isn't a pick up, play, and enjoy type of game. it'll take some imagination to really enjoy this game, which i don't mind at all. if you like the previous hitman releases, you'll definately like this one. i played through it about 6 times to find better options in taking people out, etc. can't wait to find out the other scenarios in the retail version.

And oh, yeah, I forgot the BEST part of the game:
Dialogue
I LOVE when a game has some good, lifelike chatter, don't you? I think it adds a HUGE degree of realism and it makes you stop, listen to what is being said and at the same time look around environments instead of just blow by them.


I agree on the controls... they are not too smooth.
I would argue the graphics aren't the BEST, but NOT something the Xbox would really be able to easily do, if do at ALL.
I think the animations, though not mindblowing, are good, especially when you shoot people, there are some nice ragdolls. I shot a guy and he was draped across a chair, then slowly slid down it.
I TOTALLY disagree with voice acting... I think it's AWESOME. Very good. The mobster threatening the lawyer... GREAT. The guy begging for his life and for Scoop to pay him, AWESOME, VERY convincing... I actually felt bad killing the guy.

the graphics really didn't impress me much at all,.... but it was fun, (like others side, IF you like hitman styles games).... i agree the newspaper was a nice touch..... even though they said i was an amateur bc i fired like 200+ shots or something (i had to kill everybody! -the second time through at least-) so, definately if you like hitman then at least download this.... at 40bucks not a bad deal,.... i'll have to debate between this and ping pong, where's that demo?

TBH I wasn't that impressed. I also thought the graphics weren't next gen,you can see the the polygon corners on his bald head and the controls did hinder the gameplay a bit. Ill prob pick it up in a year or two when the price has dropped as it was quite fun and the level design was good and added to the atmosphere.

I have decided to definitely not waste my money on this I have also decided not to buy Moto GP '06 (simply because I feel there isn't enough to hold my attention - the game is great). Instead I'm using the money I would have spent to get a DS LIte

Much more worth while I think.

I love the Hitman series and I wasn't dissapointed. If you don't like Hitman games then don't download this one. I think this is by far better than Lost Planet and Moto GP.

It's no offence to the game, Just that it doesn't exactly do much more than a previous gen game. I'd rather pay a cheaper price and have it on PC or - dare I say it - PS2

I would buy it for PS2 but that crap broke on me and I will not buy it again. Also, I only use my Xbox 360. I know some of you may think I am a lunatic but I love Hitman Games.

I hear you.

Although PS2 is worth owning for ICO, Shadow of the Collossus, The Katamari Damacy Series and REZ with 60fps.

Can't think of any other games on it that I really love right now.

I always go to my friends to play PS2. I remember when Shadow of The Collossus released we stayed up all night taking turns beating them one by one. Again I would buy one but I am happy with my Xbox 360 and I can't go back to last gen graphics, I love HDTV.

I kinda feel the same but I love retro games a lot so it doesn't really bother me. Collossus runs in 480p which is better than nothing and my Yammy receiver upscales everything to 720p pretty well. So I'm happy

I don't get the bad graphics thing... they're no worse than TR. In fact, even though the characters are last gen, they're well designed and have a unique style. The extra tricks make up for it, and the backgrounds are very, very detailed.

As I said, I tried the demo on a system that can be called last-gen and it could barely keep up with the xbox.

Is anyone else having problems with this game in using vga? I keep getting a message saying the game doesnt support 50mhz

Dont know about vga, but im playing by regular av scart, and you have to change the console settings to 60 hz to play the demo. I normally have 50hz but luckily my tv supports both, this is PAL by the way.
So just change to 60hz in console settings and you should be good to go.
