Awesome Example As To Why This Game Is Awesome #1: Anathema
So here I was, on a cliff overlooking a villa that's being heavily guarded by members of the Mafia, and my job was to free a preacher that was locked in the basement. Going in, guns-a-blazing would've been one option, but I doubt I would've made it through the mission alive. At that point, I looked to my right and saw a delivery boy carrying groceries into the house. Seconds later, he was dead, stripped down to his undies, and dragged to a secluded corner, out of sight.
Now I'm inside the villa, with a delivery uniform on, searching the place to find the main man with the key to the basement door. Then I walked into a room I thought was empty (according to my real-time map), and I ended up having a bodyguard stare right at me as he also walked in the room. I stayed calm and continued on my marry way, and thankfully, the guard wasn't suspicious of a delivery man wandering around the living room....
The place wasn't so calm minutes later, as I stood in front of a dead body that I took a key from, checked the map, and saw every bodyguard in the house rush upstairs to my location! I quickly equipped the revolver I got off the dead fool, and basically massacred every person that charged through the door. After it was all over, the floor was littered with bodies on top of bodies, making it look like some manly orgy took place. I then proceeded to exit the premises while this tense piece with loud trumpets and soothing violins played in the background. The level ended, the status screen popped up, and I was rated a MASS MURDERER.
Awesome Example As To Why This Game Is Awesome #2: Invitation to a Party
This time, I had to get into a German embassy and kill a Russian general that has defected. But that's not all, I also had to retrieve a valuable briefcase that the ambassador kept locked in his safe. Luckily, there was a party going on that night, so there were numerous opportunities to get inside. Sure, there's the typical "kill a bodyguard and take his uniform" routine, but I decided to try something different, the "knock out a waiter and take his uniform" trick.
But it didn't go as smoothly as I thought it would. My incredible sneaking skills failed me as the waiter had the uncanny ability to look behind him. He ran, I ran, we all ran for ice cream. After catching up with him and knocking him out, strangely, I couldn't take his clothes. He was waking up, and I could've ran, but he would've just screamed his ass off to everyone. So I stood in front of him, waited till he got up, and shot him in the face with my silenced pistol. Hey, at least he saw it coming.
Minutes later, I was inside the embassy, waiting in an empty hallway, looking at the map to see where the general would be going to next. By a stroke of luck, he headed to the hallway I was in. I stayed hidden, and waited until he entered the room where a maid was cleaning (I don't even want to know what he had in mind....) to take him out. Unfortunately, the maid had to meet the same fate as she attempted to run towards the party.
Now it was time to get the briefcase and get out of there. But I had to act quickly, because the Russians had also sent an agent undercover to steal the case as well. So, instead of knocking out the ambassador, I just shot him in the back of the head and took his key to the safe. For some bizarre reason, the agent knew and ran out of the building..... with all of the guards in his path not giving a damn.
With briefcase in hand, I was ready to complete the mission. Huzzah!..... Too bad the same guards thought a waiter carrying a briefcase was odd, and a gunfight ensured. All hell broke loose: bullets flew, guests and waiters scrambled to safety, and bodies dropped. After I was finished with the guards, I snuck out via the basement, and all the bodyguards outside were oblivious to the chaos that just took place. I thought I was home free at this point, until I saw the agent in the distance, just standing in this winter wonderland, blocking my path to freedom. We exchanged gunfire, and we both took a considerable amount of hits, but only one man was left standing, and the mission was completed. I was rated a PSYCHOPATH. Awesome.
