I had this on PS2, Xbox, PS3... I bought it on PC, bought it again when I lost the account I first purchased it with... The point is, this game is worth having, no matter what system. If you're like me and began your Hitman foray with number 2, Silent Assassin (still one of the best of the series), then Blood Money is definitely for you. Blood Money sees the first game in the series where guards aren't instantly suspicious of you from half a city block, where a decent disguise can work wonders in many places, and where you can fully customize your weapons. Blood Money makes target takedown much more interesting, with more environmental/accidental methods, more events with special animations and sequences to take down targets. Going Silent Assassin feels great, rather than frustrating. You feel like 47 is a badass enhanced human, not some superhuman with ridiculous abilities (instinct system? really? see through walls?) Blood Money is the kind of game where you will keep coming back to try different methods -- balcony push here, poisoned drink there, explosive on a chain holding a heavy object, or good ol' fashioned melee stealth weapons. Or go on a fully customized shotgun rampage. Why not? Plus, the notoriety system adds a degree of encouragement to do missions silently. If you're loud, violent, and not stealthy whatsoever, you get less money, and you increase your notoriety, meaning future guards in future missions are more likely to spot you. Overall, a great game! Get it now.
