The verdict
A classic stealth sandbox with brilliant levels, creative freedom and a fun notoriety system. Controls and stability are rough on modern PCs, so skip it if you want smooth, modern Hitman.
Great for
Stealth fans who enjoy planning creative assassinations and can tolerate 2006-era controls and jank
Main risk
Clunky controls plus old-game technical problems (crashes, lost saves, bugs) can spoil it
What changed in the last 30 days
41 recent reviews
Recent negatives mention a black screen, a mission bug and PC port problems, plus outdated mechanics. The reasons are scattered, so confidence is modest.
