I enjoyed my time with the game, but while they sometimes nail the Bond fantasy exactly, I found that their previous Hitman games often got far closer to that fantasy more frequently than this game did. It's a solid game, but not a game of the year contender or anything. Too much reliance on the Q Watch gadget to solve all of Bond's problems, as well as frequent walk-and-talks and Uncharted-esque traversal sequences, bring down what could have been an all-timer in an alternate universe where they were more willing to edit out the game's weaker pieces.
