All you need to do is go in and get creative. There are always multiple approaches and the environments are littered with deadly tools and potential death traps.
This is finally a proper stealth game, where you can ghost your way through all the levels (often in multiple ways!). In fact, the game is at it's best when you don't shoot anyone. It looks great, plays great and it's not a run-of-the-mill commando-shooter. It can even be played as a very competent and entertaining third person shooter if you want, altough you'll miss most of the fun. You're always in control of Hitman's actions and reactions and it all works right. Controls also see an upgrade and feel tight and responsive. In other areas it's used to quite beautiful effect. There's a lot of ambience altough this sometimes translates into a pretty heavy handed bloom-implementation that makes it seem like 47's skull actually gives off light. The level of design and detail in the environment makes it feel like you are visiting proper places and not just levels in a game.
Cutscenes don't overstay their welcome and the script never reaches for dramatic heights it can't reach. Most of all the story never really gets in the way. It's all wonderfully cliched, pulpy and over the top and nicely done. If you're bored of brown/grey shooters, Absolution presents you with a refreshing array of environments, both indoors and outdoors taking you from a gothic interpretation of a modern American city to a quaint desert oil town. The graphics are pretty, especially for console standards this is quite a looker. It's not Blood Money 2 and once you get around that, it's a great game that tries to do a lot and does most of it right.
I was slightly disappointed with the action-oriented, linear route Absolution takes. I'm a big fan of the old series and still think they're a great concept that needs better execution.
