"Fans of the series have had to wait over six years for their next ‘hit’ (sorry) of Agent 47 and now Hitman: Absolution is here, but was it worth the wait? The first Hitman game was released for PC in 2000 by Eidos, now Square Enix, and was followed by three more games which were also available for console and even a film. Hitman: Absolution, developed by Io Interactive and published by Square Enix, is the fifth game in this series and has taken the franchise on a slightly different route."
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.
