I fiddled with the PS2/Xbox era ones and they were fun if a little primitive. Reading reviews for Hitman III, which are great, and wondering if it's the gaming press that I shouldn't trust or if they're actually good. Should I bother picking up I & II before picking up III? Should I pick up III?
Edit - thanks for all the honest replies. I trust you fuckers way more than I do the gaming shills in the press.
The new games are fantastic if you like Hitman games.
Wait on III because they're having a hard time sorting out the clusterfuck of Hitman III becoming an EGS exclusive. Many, many people are having issues with redeeming their one-time use tokens to link their Steam Hitman data with the EGS copy. If I were you, I'd wait until next January when Hitman III will be released on Steam and GOG. Unless you already have Hitman and Hitman 2 on EGS, then go for it.
