My Hit­man Con­tracts nar­rated play­through is now (almost) com­plete. Ori­gin­ally only going to be a “no bul­let” run, it quickly turned into a fabled “all zero” run which provided enough of a chal­lenge for me to run through the game again.

Mis­sion twelve: Hunter and Hunted. Wounded, out-gunned and trapped; the situ­ation looks bleak for 47 as a well-informed detect­ive closes in on the assas­sin. With the hotel being assaul­ted by heavily-armed SWAT teams, the ques­tion is whether 47 can escape the onslaught and still com­plete his ori­ginal mis­sion.

Mis­sion eleven: the Lee Hong Assas­sin­a­tion. The war with the Blue Lotus is now in full swing and Lee Hong has retreated into his heav­ily guarded res­taur­ant and attached man­sion. Guarded by a dili­gent sumo wrest­ler body-guard, Hong seems all but untouch­able until 47 pays a visit. Two cap­tives will be freed in exchange for Hong’s life and jade trinket.

Mis­sion ten: The Sea­food Mas­sacre. The chief of police has begun nego­ti­ations with the two tri­ads to try and curb their rap­idly escal­at­ing war. A meet­ing between all three fac­tions, Red Dragon, Blue Lotus and the Police is tak­ing place on neut­ral ter­rit­ory, a res­taur­ant, with a strong police pres­ence. This res­taur­ants health and safety rat­ing is about to take a ser­i­ous hit.
