The Hitman series showed its true potensial with Hitman 2 after the dissapointing Codename 47
...
It all started with Codename 47, we all had high expectations and when it came out it turned out broken. If the danish publisher/developer hadnt did this tiny mistake Iam sure Hitman would be a much popular series than today. Hitman 2 on the other hand shows the game I think they had in their mind in the first place and can easily replace you`re little bitter first impression of Codename 47 (if you ever played that game). Sure the game has some minor issues like the almost "oversensetive dragdoll system", the VERY unstable sniper sight and the to times very annoying music.
Although you dont like the story, the music, the graphics (which actually was very good for its age), but still have a little dream of being a cold-blooded assassin look no further... This might be the game for you.
