Now that the episodic HITMAN game is available on a single disk, we thought we would re-release the review we did of the entire series. The final episode concluded with an epic final level in Hokkaido, Japan that seemed like something out of a James Bond movie. But now gamers can pick up all six of them in one swoop. Should they?
