The team usually behind the Hitman series attempts to branch into a big cinematic shooter, with rough results. It's got its flashy setpieces and about the style it wanted, but the basic mechanics of it all are thoroughly off, and the plot a muddled mess of characters you won't want to hang around any longer than necessary. The presence of co-op and a clever multiplayer mode are notable inclusions (and one way to sidestep the terrible AI), but still burdened by the weak mechanics.

Interesting and distinctive but muddled greatly in execution. Plenty of potential, a lot of it squandered.
