A worth-playing game if you enjoy stealth games in general. Pros: 1. Has decent social uniform sneaking, but also with a half decent stealth and distraction system (whistling and smoke pots, leaning jumping and vaulting), and a less jenky combat system then the older Hitman games. 2. Very open missions. You're given objectives and plopped into enemy territory. How you complete the objectives is entirely up to you, as long as you complete them to the letter. 3. As you progress through the missions you'll find that there are A LOT of npcs, and they converse with each-other and hang out in view, choose smart locations, and only infrequently present themselves as an easy stealth takedown target. You have to either lure npcs into blind spots with whistling and smoke pots and thrown knives, catch them at opportune moments while watching patterns, get a better uniform, or just plain avoid them. 4. The missions are all unique and interesting, with an ok attention to detail for a not-AAA game. 5. Pretty ok graphics for the time, and seems well optimized. It's no Crysis but they stick up pretty well even today. Cons: 1. Cheese. Sometimes to stealth and get that professional score at the end of a mission, you have to cheese the ai and level. Sometimes though, the ai will cheese you back just as hard. 2. The game provides a lot of neat weapons&explosives, but they're all hardly worth using if you're stealthing. Npcs do notice if you're wearing a big gun or backpack that are clearly not normal for the disguise, and using anything but muffled weapons is generally a bad idea. 3. Besides the mission intro movie and the occasional npc bark, there's barely any chatter at all. 4. It's not always clear what the developers intended you to do in a mission, leading to confusion and heavy save/load till you get it. 5. The npcs have some pretty distant view cones, and sometimes will spot a body through the most unlikely crack in a window out of the corner of their eye.
