Eidos, says:
"Hitman:
Contracts delivers more action-packed and suspense-filled missions with
a greater variety of ways to make the perfect kill. An increased
arsenal of firearms, close combat weapons and new 'take-down' moves
will be at your disposal allowing you to perform a wide range of brutal
'hits'. The game features 12 levels set in various locations where you
must come face to face with some of the world's most dangerous
criminals and high profile targets.
Hitman: Contracts is powered
by the latest iteration of IO's ground-breaking 'Glacier' engine,
enabling incredibly detailed and graphically rich environments. In
addition to running more than four times faster than Hitman 2, Hitman:
Contracts introduces amazing post-filter technology including motion
blur, depth-of-field, bloom and real-time colour correction resulting
in the most stylish and cinematic experience ever witnessed in a video
game."
