May 2025

It's an ok game and an awesome game if you actually played it back in the day. These passing of years haven't been kind on this game, but you can still have some fun stealing disguises and sneaking around the different maps trying to kill every target with as few people around as possible.

April 2025

The disguise system is actually really complex for such an old game and it's complexity is the reason many wonder why the AI is so unfair so let's break it down. -Your suspicion meter rises if you're running in a guards disguise: Realistically if you are a guarding someone and you see a guard behaving odd like full on sprinting and abandoning their post for no reason you'd assume they aren't a body guard. -The suspicion meter rises if you're looking at someone: this isn't hard to imagine but agent 47 doesn't fit in every country as the average person because of his facial features, and if you were guarding a VERY high priority individual every guard should've been familiarized with eachother. And how do you eliminate this? simple, you hug the walls looking away from guards and as for running you can hold the sprint button and tap a movement key. You're essentially running with animations resetting which doesn't alert the guards as would full on running. Aside from that the maps are a pain in the ass, most of the maps are large no, TOO large for the game and it results in too few npc's filling the game world. there are also maps that are just nightmares to silent assassin because unlike in future entries at most you have 1 or 2 ways to eliminate someone by interacting with the environment, the biggest example being the missions A hidden valley, because it's the same mission stretched out over 3 maps with insane security and guards posted EVERYWHERE, you have snipers that can see a very long distance, ninjas that camp on top of frames and guards who run to ID you if they see you. Now on the hardest difficulty without any saves? i'd throw my pc out the window. But the game is still a lot better than codename 47.

March 2025

This game was so far ahead of its time, its crazy. The score, the gameplay, the story, everything. It was definitely groundbreaking for that era and it holds such beautifully nostalgic memories for me. The newer era of Hitman is also a masterpiece and later games after this entry are more updated and refined. However, this game still stands the test of time as one of the best ever made.

Nov. 2024

My favorite stealth shooter on the classic Xbox when I was a kid. This game holds up well after so many years. I recall having a frame issue on another PC where trying to move around would be janky, the solution I had to use then was to adjust frames for this game in Nvidia control panel and limit it to 30, this issue didn't occur when I played through it this time around.

Oct. 2024

The most unrealistic part of this game is the fact that Russian civilians run to the guards after seeing a man in a suit carrying a sniper rifle.
