Hitman: Absolution Hands-on Contract Mode Preview From Gamescom 2012

Hitman: Absolution will put gamers into Agent 47's shoes. Look, we're in a declining economy, money is tight for everyone, even hitmen. That's why Hitman: Absolution will let gamers take on side-quests, called Contracts, to earn a little extra dough. Rob Manual got try out Contract mode for himself. Check it!

"Let's face it, you don't kill for free. Contract kills reward you with cash that allows you to unlock better weapons, new outfits, and even some disguises so you don't have to start looking around for a place to dump the naked guy.

While getting a little time in playing with the new mode, the developers told me that you could jump into a contract at any time during the game. Even with levels you have not completed yet, you can get of taste of what's to come. The game warns you that you're about to enter a level you haven't yet explored. But let's face it, warnings are for those who don't know how to kill their target with a bust of some long dead composer."
