"In Blood Money, a quiet kill sets you up for an easier future: for the first time, your actions determine your notoriety, and effect what happens next. At the end of each level you're shown a newspaper story that indicates just how well you did – the more witnesses there are, the more accurate the report of your activities will be, and the more likely that guards and other NPCs will detect you in the next level"

“The levels themselves are miniature masterpieces: hermetically sealed off from the rest of the world, everyone running like clockwork. Where IO have always excelled, and still do, is in the detail and variety. Three levels into Blood Money and you've visited a vineyard, the Paris Opera and a rest home, each with their own challenges. Blood Money's overarching plot doesn't influence the action in these levels until the final few hits, but when it does it makes a huge impact.”
