I'll have to see how Hitman 3 compares when I'm done with it, but this is my favorite of the trilogy so far. A shame that Hawke's Bay is just a short prologue level rather than something a bit more elaborate when they already had the ICA facility built in for tutorial purposes... that said, every level in Hitman 2 is excellent. Even Hawke's Bay is very good for what it is, and the entire set of base game missions are all a ton of fun and the DLC expansion missions are extremely good too. Personally I don't think there's a single dud in this set of levels, and it's hard to pick a favorite. Maybe Miami or Colombia? I don't know if Mumbai is my favorite, but it does have my favorite mission story in the Kashmirian - there's something so special and satisfying about taking out your targets by making a rival hitman do all the dirty work. This game really just takes the foundation of its predecessor and runs with it, and it does that remarkably well.
