Hitman - Codename 47, the review:
You step out of your car into the street, across from you is a Japanese triad leader's headquarters. You have been hired to assassinate this leader, as well as taking a valuable statuette that he has locked away. You walk up to the entrance of the building open the door and walk inside. You take in the situation quickly. There are two guards to each side of you guarding some doors, each with a glistening Beretta pistol in their palm. You make a note of the positions of the guards and continue forward. You make your way past the bar and into the restrooms, inside you see a waiter washing his hands in preparation for serving a meal. You sneak up behind him and take out your piano wire. Bringing the wire up above your head you quickly pull it around the waiter's neck. He tries to gasp out for help but his cries are futile. With no air left in his lungs his limp body drops to the floor. You grab his shirt collar and tug him into a bathroom stall. Once there you change into his clothes and exit the bathroom. You make your way to the herb shop and get a bottle of poison from your contact who works there. You proceed to the kitchen to find that the chef has just finished making the triad leader's dinner. You take out the vial of poison and pour it's ruby red contents over the food. Taking the dish out of the kitchen and into the dinning room you see a large man, he looks to be the body guard of your target. You see that he is holding a silver .40 caliber pistol at his side. You continue on towards the table. And there sitting patiently waiting for his dinner is your target. You place the dish down onto the table and step back into the shadows. He takes one, two, three bites. Then his throat closes up leaving him breathless. As his dead body slumps to the floor you hear a chime and see the words "main objective complete: kill triad leader" in the top left corner of your screen.
