In Hitman: Contracts, gameplay centers around the exploits of a hitman, Agent 47, as he is sent to various locations to assassinate targets. An array of weapons can be used, from kitchen knives to belt-fed machine guns. While stealth and subterfuge is encouraged, the game allows the player to take a more violent approach and gunfight their way to their mission goals. As players progress through the game, they can collect the various armaments found in the levels, allowing them to be used in future missions. Aside from the more straightforward ways of killing targets such as gunplay and strangulation, several missions allow the player more subtle ways to eliminate hits, such as judicious use of poison, or arranging "accidents" like a heat-induced heart attack inside a sauna.

|Comments= playing in software mode is absolutely necessary, otherwise, there will be graphics bugs. The game requires a beefy computer, there is some stutters in the game, it is hard to achieve full speed in the game. In the menus, it is really laggy, Game was tested in software mode, along with speed hacks enabled (preset 3).
