A great stealth/assassination game tainted by silly business practices by the IO interactive.
So, standalone Hitman 1 and 2 can not be bought anymore, though if you already own them you can still play them. However, you can not buy the DLC anymore if you didn't already. You can, but in order to do so you will have to buy the renamed Hitman 3 (great, because you didn't have that one yet) which now includes all three games in one slick looking package. Just be sure to buy the right version.
Once you do you will unfortunately have to start all over again because your progress from the older versions of the games will not be brought over. How's that for respecting your player base.

If you want to re-imagine a whole trilogy and package it up in to one complete experience then that is all fine with me. All for it. But next time, try to not make a confusing mess of it and screw over existing players so much.

Can I recommend the game? Yes, so I will, but this whole overcomplicated buying and upgrading system is unnecessarily confusing while feeling very deliberate. In other words, beware and do your research before you buy.
