This game lets you play the role of Agent 47 and Hitman allows the player to take on missions to take out specific targets and the player has multiple options to kill targets. Hitman: The First Season has great dialogue and cut-scenes showing development within each character including Agent 47. The game-play is like other games like Uncharted, Assassins Creed, and Sniper Elite where the game is all in third person and have a cover system but the only difference with Assassins Creed and Hitman is that Hitman allows the player to play the mission to their terms while Assassins Creed feels like the mission is very constrained. Throughout the game-play, I was curious asking myself, “what other ways could I complete this mission”? Hitman allows the player to either go in with stealth, combat without casualties, combat with casualties, or make the kill look like an accident. This leads into the ethical and moral of each type of assassinations methods. Some may view the methods of combat with casualties towards civilians as ethically debatable because of the obvious harming innocents. If the player attacks non-targeted NPCs, the game penalizes the player by losing points or making the mission take longer and enemies will know of your presence. The first thirty minutes of the game is kind of refreshing since this is the latest game in the franchise.
