The game is a little ditty, a really surprisingly funny palate clense but it's very aged and even in 2005, we did things differently - camera, some of the power-ups, physics etc.
It's Michael Mann-esque game, that much is true but it's directionless and aimless for me. It's not creative as the original Hitman lineup, it's not zany as Freedom Fighters. And it's just...non-rewarding. It could be the intent, consider everything I've heard and read about the game. But it's just not for me.
And again, my expectations were higher than they should've been. I've heard many good things about the game but to me, it didn't take at all. It was short, it was clunky and the story didn't take with me. Granted, I'm probably not the target audience but meh. Shame. Sometimes there was some flow but give me Max Payne -- all day, any day. It probably would take with the people who love HK action flicks (there's a fanbase, right?) but to me, it's quite bad. Even by the standards of the time.
It's not bad. But it's not very good. I went into the game under the impression that it's going to be some elaborate plot and that I'll be wowed by the quality of it. It's fine. My expectations were a bit higher than they should've been.
