SAFETY INFORMATION
ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain
visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games.
Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching
video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness, altered
vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms
— children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from
the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room,
and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information. The Xbox® Instruction Manual
contains important health and safety information that you should read and
understand before using this software.
AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TELEVISION
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-
projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox® games, are
played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of game play may
“burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at
all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur
from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult
your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be played safely on
your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual, contact
your television
dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance, rental,
pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.
Once you’ve created a profile, you will then choose a difficulty level:
• ROOKIE For the inexperienced, and those new to the world
of the assassin. There are no limitations on how many
saves you can make while attempting a mission.
• NORMAL Suitable for those comfortable with contract killing.
Each mission allows seven saves.
• EXPERT For the practiced and experienced. Only three saves
per mission are permitted.
• PROFESSIONAL For the true professional only. No saves are permitted
once a mission is in progress.

GETTING INTO the GAME
Before embarking on a career as a Hitman, you must first prepare a profile.
The profile keeps a record of your progress and preferences, along with
weaponry choices, funds and other equipment and items you acquire.
From the PROFILE MANAGER screen, choose CREATE PROFILE and enter
a name for the profile. If you have a previously created profile, you can
select this to resume the career. You can also delete profiles you no
longer want.
PROFILE MANAGEMENT
DIFFICULTY
Xbox Live®is a high-speed or broadband Internet gaming community where
you can create a permanent gamer identity, set up a Friends List with other
players, see when they’re online, invite them to play, and talk to them in real
time (with an Xbox Communicator Headset) as you play.
Before you can use Xbox Live, you need to connect your Xbox console
to a high-speed or broadband Internet connection and sign up for the Xbox
Live service. To determine if Xbox Live is available in your region and for

This manual provides insight into the mind and practices of the professional
Hitman. This manual refers to the Hitman as “the professional.” It explores
the complexities, skills and the intricacies with which “the professional”
conducts his craft.
The professional techniques outlined in this manual vary in complexity,
and are graded by difficulty using the following ranking system:

BASIC ADVANCED
HITMAN TECHNIQUES
Although the professional will choose not to reveal employment history,
many assassins will wish to evaluate and compare their skills against other
professionals around the world.
In order to submit mission data, the professional must have an online
connection and have created and signed on to his Xbox Live
®
account
before starting the mission. Then, after each successful mission, the
professional will be given the option to upload mission statistics and rank
himself against all those who have attempted the same.
Note: You can also create a new Xbox Live®account, manage your Friends List, and
activate the Voice Through TV feature via the Xbox Live
®
menu.

ANONYMITY, THE DISGUISE OF THE PROFESSIONAL
Longevity in the profession is dependent on transparency in the world. The
professional seeks solace in a world where the only way to carry out this
sort of work is with anonymity.
• The professional avoids the blood bath wherever possible, as this
attracts the unwanted eyes of the law or multiple witnesses and an audit
trail to his door.
• If a witness lives, the professional’s notoriety increases. The professional
negates this by making sure he is not discovered on a job, and that no
witnesses or clues are left on the scene.
• When the professional takes civilian lives, the invariable result is taped
TV footage and witnesses at the scene of the crime. When this happens,
the professional gains notoriety. As notoriety increases, the ease with
which the professional can carry out his next contract decreases.
• For further insurance against discovery in areas covered by TV cameras,
the professional can make sure to destroy all video-surveillance tapes.
• The professional can assess his successfulness and his notoriety
following a contract through the media. If there have been witnesses, the
newspaper is his best way of finding out. The professional should look
out for newspapers while on location. These may detail previous targets
and missions, and may even give a clue to the professional’s identity.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL
CLOSE COMBAT
The professional uses close hand combat skills to eliminate the mark
with minimum noise and when dealing with unforeseen circumstances.
The majority of these skills are ideal in firearm-restricted areas.
HEAD USE
Use Lto position
yourself in front of
the victim, then pull
r
to head butt
your target.
THE PUNCH
While the victim is
dazed, use
L
to
position yourself in
front of your target,
then press pull
r
to punch.
DISARMING
Use Lto position
yourself in front
of the armed victim,
then pull
r
to
disarm the person.
Note: During the struggle, it’s possible that the firearm will go off accidentally.
CONCEALING WEAPONS
Whenever possible,
the professional
carries out his work
using tools that can
be concealed on his
person. He has
a number of tools at his disposal that, when concealed, can go undetected
in most public areas.
Use
L
to walk toward the mark, hold
X
to access the inventory and then
select a firearm. Pull
r
to discharge the firearm, then tap
X
to holster
and conceal it.
FIBER WIRE
The fiber wire is
the most difficult
of your weapons to
use but the easiest
to conceal. It is also
the quietest and most
efficient tool to use to avoid raising an alarm.
Select the fiber wire from inventory, then pull and hold
r
to tighten
the fiber wire and automatically enter sneak mode. Use
L
to maneuver
behind the mark, then release
r
to strangle the victim.
Note: If you are spotted or you fail to execute this move in one fluid movement, your
intended victim may become alerted, and attempt to raise an alarm or attack!
ELEVATOR
The professional
often looks for
secluded areas away
from TV cameras
and civilian witnesses
to eliminate a guard
or mark. Elevators provide an excellent space in which to do this.
While in an elevator, access the roof hatch by pressing pull
A
. Equip
the fiber wire from inventory, and then look toward the open hatch. While
a victim is visible below, press
A
to strangle and pull the mark up
and out of the elevator.
KNIVES
Knives are another
silent, easy to
conceal, efficient
means for the
professional to
eliminate the mark.
Select the knife from inventory. Pull and hold
l
to enter sneak mode,
and sneak toward the mark. When you’re behind the victim, pull
r
to silently slit the mark’s throat.
To throw a knife, use
the
R
to aim at the
victim, click and hold
L
, then release
L
to kill your mark.
