Hannibal Description

Hannibal is an adventure action game with a very large dose of "thrill" inherited from the exquisite thriller on which it is based - Silence of sheep. In the game we can again meet a deadly and at the same time extremely intelligent murderer, Dr. Lecter. The player takes on the role of Clarice Starling's agent, the only person who can capture Hannibal, all the more so as everything indicates that he is striving to meet our heroine. The path leading to the capture of the most dangerous serial killer on Earth is very dangerous, and the greatest threat is not even the live armed criminals, but the murderer's confusing mind and intricately crafted intrigue (ambush). The chase will lead us from the United States to Italy. The action of the game is a combination of investigation and combat, so throughout the game we must make proper use of our investigative skills (submit seemingly unrelated facts and read Hannibal's instructions) and use weapons without mistake.

We are not dealing here with an unrealistic shootout straight from subordinate action games. Here each weapon was reconstructed in details in terms of target and damage inflicted, and both our heroine and her opponents have their own personal attributes, i.e. accuracy, proficiency in the use of weapons, speed of movement, etc., as well as the ability to use weapons. The movements of each of them are also controlled by an advanced A.I. simulating such features as aggressiveness, mental endurance, susceptibility to surrender, cunning, charisma and influence on others. Thanks to this, the duel with a criminal and the exchange of shots is realistic, one can say it is "tactical". Similarly, A.I. is known about himself during the exchange of opinions between the characters - a witness of the crime speaks differently with an F.B.I. agent, differently with an ordinary policeman, and differently with the civilians. Authors of the game used a very good quality three-dimensional graphic engine from LithTech "Jupiter", used, among others, in No One Lives Forever 2.
