Silent Assassin Rank
This game is the best this series has to offer. While Contracts is a close, close second, this one perfected the formula that the series had tried to establish since Codename 47. Let's start with the good and work our way down to the very little bad. First off, the game looked gorgeous for the time it was released, and still holds up fairly well all these years later. The character models have a certain art style to them that keeps them from aging horribly, but they do look dated. Jesper Kyd's soundtrack is amazing as always. This game has some of the best orchestral arrangements, only bested by Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. It's a mix of orchestral and synth beats, like a blending of SA and Contracts, and every track fits the mood. The list of weapons you can use is pretty expansive, and grows over the course of the game. Upgrades can be bought for almost any firearm, which leads to a nice progression system. Also tied into progression is Notoriety, which accumulated the more witnesses and cameras spot you. The higher the notoriety, the easier guards can see through your disguise on later missions. You have to pay contract money to lower it, so any messy job will leave you shorter on cash that you could be putting to better use upgrading your gear. After every job, there's a newspaper article going through how you did in a pretty novel fashion. It's something that I wish would have carried over into later games and expanded upon. Every environment has its intricacies that could lead to multiple playthroughs to find different ways to execute your targets. Running out of room, so let's look at some of the bad. The animations are certainly dated, the AI still has some weird quirks every now and then, and the controls can be a bit awkward sometimes. Also, it can be easy to accidentally get stuck in a mandatory animation if you get to close to an object that triggers one (like a pipe you can climb). Outside of that, simply the best Hitman has to ffer as a series.
