Personally I'm not a fan of assassination games, or games that require a lot of stealth, yet I'm a big Assassins Creed fan. I remember playing a demo for one of the Hitman games back on the PS2, and I just couldn't get into it. I remember back then if I was playing a game and it decided to go all 'stealthy' I would get pissed off, I just hated having to be 'stealthy', maybe it was due to a lack of patience as a kid. Assassins Creed changed that, well ACII to be precise, it had a real good mix of stealth and action. The setting, the story, and the characters all just appealed to me from the get go, and I never felt that they were going overboard with the stealth aspects, all round I just loved it.
Hitman: Absolution does look like a good game. Is it like a hardcore stealth game that's very strict, or is it a little more lenient like AC in terms of, yes, there's stealth aspects, but there's that freedom in regards to it not all being stealth.
