Hitman: Contracts (Sold Out Software) Complete in Box

This is the critically acclaimed third installment in the Hitman series, known for its dark, immersive atmosphere and demanding stealth gameplay. You take on the role of Agent 47 as he relives his most infamous and brutal contracts in a series of intense flashbacks.

📖 The Story

The plot begins with Agent 47 in a grim situation: he has been shot and critically wounded in a failed mission in Paris. He stumbles back to his hotel room, where a doctor from the ICA (The International Contracts Agency) attempts to patch him up.

The game's missions are told entirely as a series of feverish flashbacks and nightmares experienced by the injured 47 as he drifts in and out of consciousness. These flashbacks are a mix of entirely new contracts and darker remakes of some of the most memorable missions from the very first Hitman game, Codename 47.

🌟 Reputation and History

Atmosphere is King: The game is renowned for its dark, rainy, and oppressive atmosphere (aided by the excellent music from Jesper Kyd) that perfectly reflects 47's wounded state and troubled mind. Most missions take place at night or in grim, indoor locations.

The Bridge Game: It acts as a bridge between the slightly more rigid Silent Assassin and the celebrated, refined freedom of Blood Money, introducing gameplay fixes that made disguises and stealth more viable.

A "Greatest Hits" Collection: Because many missions are remakes of the first game, some critics viewed it as a partial "remaster" rather than a true sequel. However, fans often credit it with polishing those classic levels and giving them the detail the original engine lacked.

Great Moments and Missions

The game is memorable for its interesting content and inventive set-pieces:

The Meat King's Party:

Easily the most infamous level in the series' history. It is a new mission set in a derelict, chillingly rendered meat processing plant where 47 must infiltrate a horrific opium-laced BDSM party to eliminate his target. This level is synonymous with the game's dark, gritty tone.

Beldingford Manor:

A classic sandbox mission where 47 must infiltrate a sprawling, rainy English manor to eliminate a father and son involved in a kidnapping. Players must sneak around a massive estate, avoid bloodhounds, and even deal with a sleeping guard to find the targets.

Traditions of the Trade:

A highly regarded remake set in a luxurious but tricky European hotel. It requires navigating different wings, dealing with metal detectors, and mastering the art of the perfect disguise swap to eliminate two twin targets.

Why this game is a classic:

Atmospheric Masterpiece: The game is celebrated for its grim, rainy setting and incredible soundtrack, making missions like the infamous "Meat King's Party" stand out as iconic moments in stealth gaming.

Pure Stealth Sandbox: Offers complete player freedom to eliminate targets—use disguises, set up accidents, or go in silent and clean to achieve that coveted "Silent Assassin" rating.
