For over two decades, the bald barcode on the back of his head has been synonymous with stealth gaming. From the clunky, revolutionary original in 2000 to the sprawling World of Assassination trilogy, Agent 47 has remained an icon. However, for every fan who praises the series, there is a heated debate lurking in the shadows: Which version of Agent 47 is actually better ?

Is it the gritty, nihilistic killer of Contracts ? The techno-futuristic clone saga of Blood Money ? Or the hyper-polished, puzzle-box strategist of Hitman 3 ?

In Blood Money , getting Silent Assassin was strict: No bodies found, no witnesses, no camera detection, target only. In WoA, the rating is more forgiving (accidents don't void SA even if a body is found).
