It's no secret that Contracts is the rushed compromise of a game designed to reuse as many things as possible to hold our attention for the real Hitman sequel. Still, in my humble opinion, this is the first game in the series that truly holds up today, and I absolutely love it. I judge Hitman games on how fun it is to figure out a Silent Assassin way through them; this is why I play the series. Contracts is the first one where it's fun all the way through, partly because they fixed the psychotic Hitman 2 AI. Never in this game did I ask myself, "What in the hеll did I ever do to them?" The rules were crystal clear almost every time. Another reason is that the level design is just way more consistent. The worst levels in this game are just okay; there are no unbelievable stinkers like the Rotterdam/Colombia levels from Codename 47 and Hidden Valley from Hitman 2. Moreover, for the first time in the series, around four levels made it to my favorites for one reason or another. One of those is the "Traditions of the Trade" level, and thus we must talk about the elephant in the room. Yes, more than half of them are taken straight from Codename 47, but if you ask me, this is a blessing in disguise because the alternative is playing Codename 47. Seriously, have you tried to do that lately? They ported literally everything worth a dаmn from that game, and all of it plays way better. The Rotterdam boat mission even got a complete makeover and is no longer pure cancer. Contracts has the most unique vibe in the series. It's dark, moody, and nightmarish, and I adore it. The game is absolutely gorgeous too. Here, I tried to capture it to the best of my ability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwa9sbDFjAg

Considering that a big sale is going on, I feel like I need to put this out. I cannot recommend this game enough. It is easily the best Hitman entry in terms of style. It may not have some of the features as Blood Money (weapon customization, notoriety, etc.) but it is amazing how well this game holds up today. The graphics, soundtrack, style, and gameplay blend so well. If you are new to Hitman, you really don't have to play Codename 47, as this offers a lot of the "greatest hits" of that game while offering better gameplay and unique levels as well. It's as fun as when I played it in secret, making sure my parents didn't know. First game I played that had blood and gore, and I got to experience this intensity for the first time at the astounding age of FIVE years old. Never been the same since, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. WARNING: Do NOT buy this game if you expect it to run flawlessly on start-up. You will have to do some work here to get it to run properly. Basically, the old PS2-era game isn't optimized for super high framerates. You'll need to download a .DLL file and put it in your game directory to cap the game at 60fps. You may also need to get a widescreen fix as well. It's absolutely insane how much people get filtered by this game because they can't go to the Community Guides section and get the download links to patch it. If you know the basics of File Explorer, it's not hard.

Hitman 1 missions remake and new missions in contracts is made very well, each mission is unique on its own and need to do lots to trial and error to properly finish it in silent assassin rating. Game runs fine on windows 11 without any issue but you need to install 2 things, 1 is legacy directx packages from microsoft and another is widescreen fix patch

The Meat King Party could be one of the best levels in all of the Hitman games. The atmosphere in this game is incredible. Play this game for sure

Aug. 2024

nice game , if want to play this on win10 or 11 and you're having some kind of slow motion and your game is like freezing, you better go to the game folder and find hitman contracts .ini file and add these: WINDOW 1 then StartUpperPos from 2,2 to 0,0. i wasnt finder of this issue but i did search for it and i wanted to share the solution with you.
