This game really, really sucks...but I'd be lying if I said there weren't a few times where I felt genuine joy at some of the levels that vaguely resemble Hitman. Luring both targets over a puddle of gasoline, shooting it from afar and watching their smoldering corpses get crushed by the nearby collapsing building will always stick in my mind as being extremely satisfying, but it's really disappointing that those moments are so sparse in this lobotomized excuse for a game. I don't even think the "it's a good game, just not a good Hitman game" argument works, because there are so many issues that counteract it. Spotty AI, context sensitive actions not appearing properly, selective regard for sound and things that should visually obscure you, the completely asinine disguise and instinct systems, I can just keep going. I knew I should have just skipped this to play the recent trilogy, but my curiosity got the best of me.
