While it is a stealth title, the game does not necessarily enforce such an approach, allowing the player to engage at their own discretion, thus highlighting the sandbox element of the series.īefore any assignment, the player is provided with a briefing, consisting of intelligence on the target, a map detailing the area where 47 is to encounter the target, and a list of weapons that they can take on the mission.
Some missions have assassination possibilities unique to the level. Instead of simply running and gunning through the mission, one can set traps, like poisoning a drink, to terminate the target in silence. However, how missions are completed is up to the player and there are almost always a variety of ways to complete missions. Most levels require the assassination of one or more people. In the game, 47 is given a set of objectives to complete. Hitman: Blood Money is a third-person action/stealth combo revolving around a bald-headed assassin known as Agent 47, who works for the International Contract Agency (also known as 'The Agency'), a conglomerate of professional assassins who provide their services to wealthy or otherwise influential customers.
