So if you’re wondering if this is worth the pre-order? Yes, it surely is. If things really go to Hell, simply enjoy the the brief Absolution promo (to the always haunting and beautiful “Ave Maria”), and start that bad boy over. If things don’t go how you want them to, just start looking for rubber duckies and gnomes, or random strange people doing random strange things in and around the buildings in your general vicinity. No, Hitman: Sniper Challenge is an arcade game, and should be enjoyed as such and never stressed over. You will play this MANY times-that’s the whole idea: a quick and fun game you’ll play over and over and over looking for new ways to take targets out without alerting anyone else new ways to blast your score up as high as possible finding all the things you need to find to complete all challenges trying to unlock all the perks you can unlock (perks, including your monster of a sniper rifle, you’ll be able to bring into Hitman: Absolution when it’s released come November 20th).ĭon’t enter this one expecting a realistic sniper experience, either (though it is a hell of a lot of fun if you do love sniping, as I do). It’s also not always easy one missed shot, one exposed body, one mistake, and your target could be rushing off to his helicopter to escape. Hitman: Sniper Challenge is a quick game you have 15 minutes to get the job done and get out of there. The fun is figuring out how to take out all fifteen guards and your target quickly, cleanly, and efficiently.

He’s also joined by fifteen of his bodyguards, all of which are also your targets (those who hired you want to send a “message”). Your target is the CEO of an armament company who’s making an appearance at a party. Agent 47 is positioned on a rooftop somewhere in Chicago, and all you need to do is zoom, aim, fire. This isn’t a DLC level you’ll navigate as Agent 47 trying to take out the target-in fact, you don’t move at all.

The bonus-instead of being a simple weapon or outfit-would be a standalone game titled Hitman: Sniper Challenge, where players around the world could test their sniping talents to see who would be the very best, with prizes being handed out for top scorers.
