Scotch and Coffee Video Review
The thing is such a nice idea, executed so badly, its probably one of the worst mods I've played. The level design is shabby, its all so simple that you don't think of any of these places as real places but vacuum dimensions created by some weird *** god. Its got some new textures but they are used in a rudimentary way, the lighting is pretty much bog standard, where there are no shadows... and there is no combat to speak of. The mods good idea relies on "accidentally" killing evil men. Of course its not accidental but made to look as though it is. Only 1 of 3 of your targets have any friends that you would need to look innocent in front of. I would presume that if they where murdered their superiors (they are supposed to be gangster) would get suspicious and thus hell would reign in those cities it happened so it makes sense.
The problem is this idea is squandered in such a way, that only few times I've bared witness to such wasted potential. Even if someone "accidentally" dies you'd think everyone would be shocked. But no they all stand idly bye without so much as a gaze or muted shock.
That pretty much says what I feel, nothing but indifference to this mod.
Poorly executed Idea
There is very little here, in fact, there is barely any gameplay involved.
Much of the mod is spent watching scripted events, which wouldn't have been so bad if the mod had more intuitive ways of "Accidentally" killing your targets.
Only give this a try if you truly are a die hard fan of experimental mods.
interesting. The pool map is pretty cozy but this mod is very unfinished
I don't understand why the summary of this tells that the mod is Russian. IT IS BLATANTLY NOT TRUE. I went to the website using the Internet Archive, and have discovered that almost every single developer of the mod (or as they are called "alchemists" there,) they all have English/American names. More to that, it doesn't even tell that this is a Russian company. If it was Russian, it would probably be clear. So, the mod is NOT Russian, though not by "2muchvideogames" supposedly. They don't even properly tell rather if this is their reupload, as a result, for a while, I thought that this is by that creator.
Next, the mod is extremely short. It may range from 3-15 minutes of finishing, depending on rather if this is your first time or not, and mainly works on the first timer, as by that point you will unintentionally spend more time into the mod. Any kind of difficulty setting with the mod doesn't really matter to it, as there is absolutely no skill involved in the mod (only some kind of puzzle solving.) So even if you pick Hard difficulty, it won't be hard.
This is the kind of mod that doesn't seem to deserve any kind of rating, really, it doesn't seem to be finished at all. As a result all ratings are messed up and it's not even known if there is a need for a rating to this or not, the mod is not finished, seemingly (once again.)
There are at least 3 levels in the mod, in which you need to defeat some "gangsters" supposedly, but do it "accidentally" through solving some kind of puzzles to kill them. Once you do that, the mod doesn't end. By that point you can roam around freely in the level and that's it.
Really doesn't deserve any kind of rating at all, I'd give this 2 because I have some kind of memories about the mod, but I'm giving this 1 anyway because this mod is bad.
I don't understand why a developer that does their own mods would reupload somebody else's work without their knowing like that and without properly explaining.
"2muchvideogames" is an aged Half-Life add-on creator, but I had no idea that this wasn't even their work.
I'd say something about this bringing some kind of memories.
It is like an open season with bad reviews on this mod or something. The reviews section about it remind me of a certain type of a 'public' building.
Poorest Hitman rip off ever made
I though it would be a neat mod but it was actually quite stupid, it made no sense what to do. I sat at the end of the mod for 10 minutes trying to figure out what to do until I realized that the guy sliding out the window is the end
Worst mapping ever you could probably experience on ModDB. They also make no sense at all! Story is bad too. I haven't understood any part of it. NEVER AGAIN
