The suit, the barcode tattoo and the iconic shaved head. No one means business like Agent 47. When the cold-blooded assassin has been contracted, you know the job will be carried out effectively, efficiently and secretly. Hitman: Absolution has you slip on the black gloves of the hired gun on his most dangerous job yet. Hunted by the police, he finds himself at the center of a dark conspiracy after being betrayed by those he once trusted. Now he must set out through a corrupt and twisted world in search for answers. Put on the suit of the legendary assassin, Agent 47, in Hitman: Absolution. Embark on a journey through a corrupt and twisted world in search of answers behind a dark conspiracy of which you find yourself at the center. Powered by new proprietary Glacier 2 technology, the game has been constructed from the ground up, and allows you to experience the brutal, raw and intense adventure with a cinematic story, distinctive art direction and cutting-edge game and sound design. Enjoy the freedom to eliminate your targets as you see fit, whether you prefer to stalk from the shadows or burst in guns blazing. But beware — the world around you realistically responds to your every tactic thanks to the fully evolved game mechanics and a highly developed AI system. Jump into the iconic suit like never before with the Instinct mode, which allows you to see the world through the eyes of a deadly assassin. Identify weapons and escape routes, predict enemy patrols and engage in Point-Shooting to eliminate entire rooms efficiently with your expert marksmanship. Blend into your environments and pose as your victims with a variety of disguises, and take advantage of the new actions, options and, of course, the element of surprise. With the target squarely on your back, it's time to slip on the black gloves and take on the contract of your life in Hitman: Absolution.

Your The Best Cleaner in the Business.

A linear and dark path but a familiar one for Hitman veterans. Not as open as previous Hitman games, it still is good in it's own way. The graphics and sounds are fantastic. The character models and animations are realistic. Watch as your targets struggle while your killing them. Disguise yourself in order to infiltrate hard to reach targets but be weary. Wander too close and you'll be spotted and executed. Getting spotted or opting for the shootout will overwhelm the player with waves of enemies. Stealth is seemingly the only way to complete missions. So if you like sneaking around, pick this one up.

Travel to the Far East and the vibrant neon city of Hong Kong, where hidden among the exotic locations and busy streets hides one of the most brutal and deadly criminal organizations in the world — the Triads. As undercover cop Wei Shen, you must infiltrate the Triads and take them down from the inside. In order to do this, you must prove your worth by participating in atrocious criminal activities to protect your cover. With the lines between your loyalty to the badge and the code of the Triads becoming permanently blurred, you'll risk everything to ensure the success of your investigation.Delve into the dangerous, devious and deep world of organized crime set against the gorgeous backdrop of Hong Kong in Sleeping Dogs. Step into the role of undercover police officer, Wei Shen, and work your way into the brutal Triads in an effort to bring down this criminal organization from the inside. Immerse yourself in the mature and gritty storyline in a tension-filled world where every action puts your cover at risk. Experience heart-racing action filled with martial arts, adrenaline-pumping gunfights and vicious takedowns. Get behind the wheel, get your finger on the trigger and tear down the narrow Hong Kong streets. Explore the seedy underbelly of the city, and enter illegal races, gamble on cockfights or relax with some karaoke. With the Triads' hold on the city, there's no way you can just let Sleeping Dogs lie.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a marvelous open-world action game with a combat system similar to the Batman: Arkham series. The combat is very dynamic and fluid, making you feel like Bruce Lee or Jet Li. A real treat if you like that combat style with lots of combo masteries, weapon techniques and urban technical skills. Your in a highly detailed world with neon signs, realistic ambient sounds and polished npc behavior. Plenty of GTA style missions with rewards from both good and bad deeds. A walk down the thin blue line with it's moral quandary. I heartily recommend Sleeping Dogs to anyone looking for an adult storyline with spectacular combat. One of the best and overlooked games of it's era.

What's great about it: Convoluted storyline in the best way.
What's not so great: A QTE nightmare for those who hate them.
