Solid entry that feels like a refined version of the first game's best ideas. Several missions are actually remakes of Codename 47 levels but with much better execution and controls. The darker, more serious tone works well and some missions like the hotel and slaughterhouse are genuinely creepy. Graphics and gameplay mechanics are polished compared to earlier entries. Feels a bit shorter than other games in the series and some missions can be pretty challenging. The whole flashback framing device is interesting but doesn't add that much.

Despite some graphical issues and some bugs at the top search points, it's a very good game. Those who played Codename 47 will notice that some of the maps are the same.
