EIDOS INTERACTIVE - Eidos Hitman: Blood Money - Complete Product - Action/Adventure
1 User(s) - Complete Product - Standard - PlayStation 2 (GAMES)
Overview
Eidos Hitman: Blood Money (PS2) Hitman's back, drawing you closer than ever into his deadly world where staying anonymous, being smart and totally ruthless are the key to a perfect execution. Lucrative contracts on the rich and powerful in high profile locations, make killing for money good business. But when a rival agency enters the scene it's war and only the best man will be left standing.
As with any hitman, retaining your anonymity is incredibly important - it becomes impossible to work if you are recognisable. Players will now be given the opportunity to 'clean up' after any botched hits. For instance, CCTV tapes can be removed from the scene, further evidence such as bodies, can be hidden in objects such as freezers, crates, garbage bins and laundry trolleys to prevent guards raising the alarm. The player should also consider the best way to get rid of any witnesses.
Should the player not take all necessary precautions to protect their identity, then they will find their Notoriety increasing. Newspaper articles reporting on the assassination will reveal more and more information about their identity as Hitman and produce a clearer photo fit image, to the point where guards and other NPC's will begin to react to them.
Mature (M) Titles rated M - Mature have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain mature sexual themes, more intense violence and/or strong language.
Characters
Agent 47 To some he is an urban legend, but to anyone who has encountered him and is still alive, Agent 47 is the world's deadliest assassin, a hitman with a 100 hit rate and an unfaltering dedication to his work.His name originates from a barcode on the back of his head, 640509-040147, a serial number that marks his place in a series of cloning experiments designed to create an army of assassins. Hitman's deadly reputation has made him the most highly paid assassin at his contract agency, but his notoriety is no good thing. When a hitman's identity is known it becomes harder to work and to stay alive.
Alexander Leland CayneAlexander Leland Cayne, is a near genius, from an extremely wealthy background. Sadly, a budding career in politics and science was temporarily marred when a work accident left him paralysed from the waist down. This never stopped Cayne, who continued his work and became a very prominent businessman and advisor. However, he has never been able to shake his suspicion that his accident could have been an assassination attempt. For this reason he has studied the profiles of assassins and is now somewhat of an expert in the field.
DianaDiana is the only link and contact that Agent 47 has to the ICA - The International Contract Agency. As the contracts, briefings and information on targets are mainly dealt with through The ICA, Diana plays an important and vital role. Her position in the company hierarchy is unknown, and how she's able to gather all this crucial information is an even bigger mystery. Even though they have never met, trust is the keyword, and Agent 47 will instinctively know when something is wrong...
The AlbinoTargeting the world's deadliest assassin is no easy task and it takes more than one assassin. The most powerful and dangerous of these is Mark Parchezzi III a.k.a. the Albino. An expert assassin and master of disguises, he is able to blend in to the background like a chameleon to carry out subversive operations.
The ClownLife's not easy when you are a clown. Entertaining kids is hard work, particularly when your heart's just not in it. Corky never really wanted to wear a wig or a red nose. He used to have a car rental business but when that went bust this seemed like a good option, he could be funny when he was sober. His main party trick is making animals out of balloons but no one can ever guess what they are on account of the fact he's not very good and normally drunk.
The SheikhIf there's a deal to be done in the States, it's no surprise that Mohammed bin Faisal Al-Khalifa would choose Las Vegas to conduct his business. As CEO of Arpix, Inc an Arabian pharmaceutical export company, he has made billions from fat cat government contracts, reportedly linked to biological and chemical agents for military use, and has developed a serious love for gambling. He travels in a caravan of Bentleys with an entourage of loyal bodyguards and very much enjoys the finer things in life - cigars, fine wines, caviar, exotic dancers - anything linked to luxury and good old fashioned debauchery.
The WidowMargeaux Le Blanc appears to have it all. Smart, pretty and the daughter of one of the richest men in the Mississippi region, she is set to marry a man who stands in line to inherit just as much wealth, power and influence as her. Every excessive and extravagant detail for the wedding has been planned to perfection, but events for this priveleged lady are about to take a turn for the worse.
The CaptainSkip Muldoon, is the proud captain of the 'Emily', an old steamer that's a big tourist attraction on the Mississippi. Apart from his boat, he loves anything that's been deep fried and all the cute guys who work on board. When he's not eying them up, he can be found on deck taking pot shots at the gators swimming around the banks of the river.Skip also operates a sideline business with the Crab Island boys
