He "moves without sound, kills without emotion and
disappears without trace". Yes, someone's been reading the
cover of the DVD for Leon.
Playing a tall, near-Richard O'Brien-a-like, with a barcode on the
back of your head, this third-person game has you playing the hitman of the
title who is given assignments like assassinating political targets. You have
the ability to blast people into bits and shoot limbs off, then pick up the
cadaver's weapon(s) and use them on his colleagues.
As you run about the hitman's world, the graphics are a little on the jerky
side but they still move fast and when you need to escape the pursuit of those
wanting to help you meet your maker, it's easy enough to nip round the back of
a building and position yourself so you can catch them when they follow you.
The sound is simple but fairly satisfying as the bullets meet their
destinations.
The control system is similar to that used in
Project I.G.I.
in that if you're not used to it, it's rather a dog to play with at first,
but you do get used to it eventually, because I never used to use a mouse
for first- or third-person-shooters.
Regular mini cut-scenes also appear at preset times, but if you're in the
middle of a shoot-out, while that action will be paused, the fact it's happened
is very off-putting. Pressing 'Escape' will get you back to the action, but
you'll be back in the thick of it so keep on your toes.
Also - and this is the real pain - there's no facility for an in-game save
so as you work your way around your objectives, if you screw up and die,
then it's back to square one. That is SO annoying and puts you off playing.
Overall, the lack of in-game saving is the straw that breaks the camel's back.
It's a difficult game and one where you'd normally pace yourself, moving a
few steps at a time while saving regularly. Constantly replaying the same
points does not excitement generate, it makes you switch off.
