HITMAN™ is decisively the best Hitman game.

Blood Money is linear and quaint compared to HITMAN™.

HITMAN™ is a triumph of design. A truly unique title and there is nothing else like it.

From explosions, to "accidents", to poisoned stem cells and more, I'd estimate there are around a hundred genuinely unique ways to assassinate targets in any given map. This is the open-ended Groundhog Day murder simulator sandbox you've been secretly pining for your whole life.

I highly recommend playing HITMAN™. Then you'll know. You'll understand.


UPDATE: I have spent a lot more time with this beautiful video game. It saddens me that the overall review score is only "mixed". As you can see, most of these negative reviews are for one reason: when you are not connected to the Hitman servers, many important features are unavailable (completing level challenges; unlocking new stuff).

This is a bummer. It's true. If you are planning on playing with an unreliable or nonexistant internet connection, the game is, to put it bluntly, gimped in offline mode.

However, if having an internet connection is not an issue I EMPHATICALLY RECOMMEND THIS TITLE! This is a DAMN fine product and a DAMN fine HITMAN™! If you're new to the series or returning from the Hitmen of old, BUY THIS GAME! There is nothing else like it, it is REALLY GOOD and WORTH your time!
