Very few things make me smile more than evil, corrupt politicians getting their comeuppance. And today, Agent 47’s mission is to do just that. We’ve only got one shot, but after all the targets we’re taken care of I’m sure we can handle it… Right?
Afterward, our greed begins to overwhelm us once more as we finish what we started in Dubai.

I knew I had played this target before, and thankfully I still have a record of my old run. If anything, this shows how much better I’ve become at playing Hitman since then, probably through playing Hitman 3. I can’t say I’ve necessarily gotten more patient. If anything, what’s improved is my ability to read the map.
On the other hand, I like how the Greed escalation rewards us for hording our coins by letting us spend them in the final round on tools that dramatically reduce the difficulty of the assignment. That’s a nice touch that really embodies that cardinal sin.
It’s also fun for me to forgo my usual mercy and become as an angel of death, never seen yet leaving a trail of bodies, blood, and violence in my wake. Rarely in Hitman do I ever feel like I have license to carve a bloody path, and I must say it feels good to let loose every now and then.
All for those beautiful, valuable coins… >:)
