GXC: "It’s been a while since we’ve seen Agent 47 in the field. Last time he was around, he was decked out in an all white suit and crashing his own funeral(with bullets of course). Crashing this funeral effectively wiped out all the remaining competition for the International Contract Agency, 47′s employer. This was a satisfying ending to a solid game and it seemed that 47 would continue his work for the ICA; all would be well. But then, something miraculous happened. The guys over at IO Interactive decided that all wasn’t right in the Hitman universe and that they needed to bring back the worlds best killer-clone to clean it up. And thankfully, Agent 47 is up to the task."
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.

Sounds like it is a good game. Hopefully I can pick it up before the year's over.
