20 to 40 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Ambitious"

This is a game that will catch you up in the Hitman series, you should definitely play the whole series. I didn't play Codename: 47 before this but when I played Hitman 2 first, I had to figure out what was happening. Then I played Contracts and realized I made a mistake by playing Silent Assassin before it. Don't do what I did and miss the story. This is every bit as good as Silent Assassin, graphics are slick, gameplay is smooth, and the story keeps you going and wondering.

Presentation: The story is basically Codename 47 told in a Pulp Fiction style.

Graphics: Looks great and works smoothly.

Gameplay: It's always fun to figure out a creative way to get away clean with killing your target.

Sound: Voice acting is top-notch and so is every little extra sound effect from the air-conditioning to gun shots and walking on gravel.

Lasting Appeal: You'll want to play this game again and again.
