Refreshing!
I've spent many years looking for a game like this and I've finally found it! One that doesn't involving going to distant, imaginary places killing make-believe aliens or going into the jungles frenetically shooting at random soldiers. There are plenty of games like those, but not many like this.

Finally a game that puts you in a more familiar setting where you could act out your wildest fantasies! You could be in a someone's mansion in the middle of a party, in a quiet suburban neighborhood with residents doing their usual activities or on a crowded downtown street filled with revelers. While your objectives are usually to assassinate just one or two people, practically anyone is fair game. From innocent lobby clerks to friendly out-of-town tourists, no one is off limits, which adds to the realism of this game.

Hitman allows you to accomplish your goals in different ways. You can achieve them neatly and discreetly without creating a lot of collateral damage or you can reach them in a heavy-handed manner and leave behind a bloody trail of your mess. You can win either way, the choice is yours. Of course, the more collateral damage you leave behind, the more attention you attract and the more difficult it becomes.

This game is just pure fun. It's like a cross between the old Castle Wolfenstein games (the 2-D version, not the 3-D FPS version) for the Apple and the Sensory Overload FPS game for the Mac. The graphics are great but probably not the best. But the gameplay and realistic characters more than make up this minor weakness.
