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.
I havent played Hitman III yet but the new Hitman I & II (now that theyre past all the episodic release bullshit) are very good Hitman games. Very little has changed from the originals as far as mechanics go and have actually expanded in a few areas, mainly with what sort of accidental deaths you can impose. Each mission also has a large amount of replay ability with the incentive to do so (ie. do X to unlock Silenced Sniper Rifle in map drop. or new infiltration points and costumes) The graphics, especially on PC are stunning.
Worthy successors to Blood Money IMO
