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.
