START, OPTIONS
START

the difficulty level for your game.
NOTE: You MUST be using a memory card in MEMORY CARD slot 1 in order to save your progress.
A HITMAN: CONTRACTS save game requires 500Kb of free space on the memory card. If the memory card has less than the required free space, erase older data before starting play.

Press the directional buttons 1/2 to highlight a level from the list
and press x to start your new game.
A number of different factors are influenced by the difficulty level you choose. These factors include:
•The amount of damage Hitman can receive before dying.
•The amount of accuracy shown on the map.
•The reaction speed and firing accuracy of guards and targets.
Each difficulty level has its own permitted number of progress saves per mission.
•NORMAL – 7 saves allowed per level.
•EXPERT – 2 saves allowed per level.
•PROFESSIONAL – 0 saves allowed per level.
OPTIONS
Adjust various graphics, sound and control settings in the game. (See page 8.)
