Agent 47 is one of the coolest game characters in the gaming world. Love the suit.
The graphics rocked at that time and rag-doll physics were still in fashion. Most of the scenarios are engaging and delightfully varied. From oriental Japanese mansions to office skyscrapers to old cathedrals, the set design just awed me. I love the feature of having a weapon collection that you can admire and even equip before every mission which kind of puts you into the role of Neo in The Matrix. Guns. Lots of guns.
Smooth controls make you an even smoother criminal, which highly compliments the maneuvering of combo stealth moves or intense gun-fights that tests your reflexes against a measureably good AI. Hitman: Silent Assassin is one of the best games that stand out among the rest of the shooters during that time and till even now.
