Graphically, Hitman Absolution was fantastic, and the gritty depiction of Chicago looked very convincing. It was such a joy to see Io Interactive back doing what it does best – making Hitman games.
Escaping the burning hotel and the train platform were featured before, but this. The last mechanic we saw involved Agent 47's ability to move around in disguise – his Instinct told him when the cops he was sidling past in order to exit the building were becoming suspicious of him, and he was able to hide his face or, in one instinct, grab a doughnut from a handy box (doughnuts are always at hand when there is a large concentration of cops). Run For Your Life may be considered a 'visit' to the Hitman demo available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Soon the real cops appeared, and Agent 47 took one out by hitting him over the head with a handy bong. Naturally, they scattered in hilarious, stoned panic – we saw a glimpse of one trying to flush his stash down a toilet.

A police helicopter was called in, whose relentless machinegun-fire was destroying his cover, but he leapt thrillingly to a nearby building.įinding an isolated policeman, he took him out stealthily and stole his clothes, before entering a flat which turned out to be full of a bunch of hippies curating a marijuana-growing enterprise. He ran up a staircase, taking out a number of cops below by shooting a chandelier. Working his way up the building triggered a sequence that was more appreciably cinematic than in previous Hitman games. It rapidly filled up with unfeasibly large numbers of cops, and he set about dispatching them individually, stealthing around, employing cover and unleashing vicious take-downs, including a garrotte with a power cord.Įventually, the demonstrator tired of that approach and confronted a large group of policemen, grabbing one as a human shield, stealing his mac-22 sub-machinegun, dispatching several and making his escape up a fire escape. You should be able to play in whatever manner you desire, something many games have promised but few have delivered.Īgent 47 took refuge in a creepy abandoned library, crumbling and still full of books. The avowed goal of all the games enhancements – it uses a new engine Io has dubbed Glacier 2 – is to give players freedom of choice. Io Interactive outlined a few of the game's key aspects.– The developer has enhanced the game's artificial intelligence engine, so that the enemies you encounter behave in a more nuanced (and less predictable) manner Agent 47 has a new feature called Instinct, which lets him size up situations before taking multiple enemies down and he is now supposed to inhabit his disguises more convincingly. A certain amount of table-turning was in play – Agent 47, the consummate hunter, was himself the subject of a city-wide manhunt by the police.
The action opened with a sweeping shot of the surroundings: a dank, relentlessly rainy Chicago.
