    Gory, sometimes more so than some would like, yet unique and ultimately satisfying.

    The save game system and the control scheme add to the difficulty more than they should.

    A deep, refreshingly stylistic adventure that lets you play at the pitch you desire. [Dec 2002, p.83]

Hitman: Silent Assassin is a fantastic game which is worth every penny.… Full Review »
