Jesper Kyd is the master at mixing beautiful orchestral music with electronic beats. The music in the game suits it very well, with orchestral parts setting mood for sneaking around, and adding the electronic parts only when things get intense. The Xbox 360 version of the game lets you listen to your own music when playing any game, but with music like this I don't need to switch anything because it's that good.

Jesper Kyd does it again. In a world of the same breeds same, like breeds like, he breathes fresh air into the game experience. Not only does his music capture the feeling of Agent 47 and his adventures while in game play, but while listening to this soundtrack you can be imediatley whisked in your minds eye to your own game play and to how you experienced it. Jesper Kyd is the only game composer that can be called truely unique. The classical, electronic, and choral blending makes for a wonderful listen. Pick this up see and for yourself.

First off, I'm sure you know by reading the other reviews, it's indeed disappointing that Ave Maria is not on the soundtrack. However, the rest of the in-game music save for the opera in the 2nd mission (since it's not an original piece), all of the tracks Jesper Kyd composed are included and aren't interrupted or faded into other tracks like in the game, making it a pleasant listen. I strongly disagree that it's too electronic. Most, except for a few tracks (which are, themselves, also quite beautiful), are all strings and wind with an eerie ambience and ghostly choir. Killing to this music in game is chilling and morbidly sensual.

However, this album isn't just for people who played the video game and enjoyed the music - it's an album for people who enjoy having a story told to them with musical instruments. You feel like something is foreboding, you feel like you're being chased, and ultimately, you feel like you're dancing on the line between life and death. If only more movie soundtracks were this epic!

Wow! This score is awesome. The first song starts the CD off with frantic chanting, it sounds kind of like male vs. female, meaning men are saying stuff in a weird language and women are saying stuff too, only they both are saying different things and it blends in with one another. It has a cool sound. The rest of the CD gets better and better, including 47 Attacks, Main Titles, and Rocky Mountains. This is a must buy, oh, I'm really 16. Its a long story. Anyways, look into this one and also Hitman: Contracts, which is also quite good.

Jesper Kyd is famous for his awesome video games' scores. I first listened to him while playing Freedom Fighters and I found it amazing.

The Hitman series are games with great stories, unfortunately the first three of them were not very carefully made, but the forth installment - Blood Money - is something memorable and the soundtrack does not fall behind.

I would recommend any Hitman soundtrack, but this one is rock solid.

If there was a 6 star rating system, this cd would deserve a 8 in my opinion. This is without question one of the best in my collection!. I especially enjoy listening to it while driving in my truck at night time.
Jesper Kyd is nothing short of a Master!

If you enjoyed the music while playing the video game then you will definitely enjoy this CD.

As far as video game OSTs go, this one is pretty good. But the soundtrack is a bit too electronic and that doesn't really fit with the noir mood of the hitman series. I'm a big fan of Franz Shubert's 'Ave Maria' and was pleasantly suprised to find it in the opening sequence. There should be more of this kind of music on the CD.

The CD was as expekted but it did not include the track that plays at the menu in the Game. If anyone wonders about the name of it I can tell it is Franz Schubert - Ave Maria, the singer is a boy I dont have the name of. I was stupid to think it should be more of this genre on the CD, I have not finished the game yet so I thought there should be more of such songs on the CD.
