As soon Hitman Episode 3: Marrakesh begins, you know that this is going to be very different than the two previous Episodes; Paris was set in a claustrophobic party in a mansion, whereas Sapienza featured an entire seaside town.

Disconnects seem to be a thing of the past; More difficult than previous episodes

Voice-acting breaks immersion; Rehashes a lot from previous episodes

The new Hitman makes its debut as the first episode of a complete story. It's where you train as Agent 47 during his induction into the International Contract Agency to familiarize yourself with the flow of missions.

Missions are flexible and open to a variety of strategies; Entertaining means of killing targets; Excellent replayability

Inconsistent AI thwarts immersion; Missions rely too strongly on using disguises; Technical shortcomings lend a rushed quality to the experience

Matt is mostly impressed by Hitman's second episode. Mostly...

Great level design; Interesting NPCs; Plenty of room for experimentation

Massive server connection problems; NPC behaviour can be erratic

Are we really going to review each and every one of the episodic entries in the new Hitman as they launch? Well, we've started so we might as well finish, even if the amount of interesting things we have to say diminishes with every content drop.

Concept: Task Agent 47 with pulling off his most complicated assassinations yet inside the series' biggest environments Graphics: IO Interactive has packed more NPCs into locations than ever before, but some frame rate dips and slow-loading textures offset the grandeur Sound: The bulk of the NPC...

Hitman: The Complete First Season is the perfect way to harmlessly tamp down that homicidal rage most of us have after a long day in the salt mines.

With the HITMAN series now out on disk, where you can pickup every episode all at once, we thought we would re-run our review of the entire series. These games were all played in episodic format, but can now be obtained all at once.

Hitman: Absolution was, for some, a bit hit and miss. Mostly, fans of the series didn't like the way in which the game took a linear approach to the way you assassinated targets, and although you were still able to take people out in any order, the levels felt marginally confined and players also...

This is an example of a franchise that keeps getting better, after waiting for such physical release to hit the shelves, it's just a game that worth the wait. Replay value is more than before, this is the first game that I don't mind not finishing it as soon as I got my hands into.

I got this a 2 months ago and I love the game. The statue is great and it looks good on my desk. The artbook is ok not the best. I wish it had a steelbook case with the physical copy of the game. The tie and clip is really cool. I gave it 5 stars because the game and statue makes it worth the $80.
