Oh, I'm looking forward to it. Definitely.
Love all of the first 4 Hitman games. Been waiting for IO to make another. I expect nothing but good things. No reason to expect anything else.

The series is considered stealth (which I think you aren't much a fan of...), though it's a little different from something like Splinter Cell or Tenchu. It's usually sort of "stealth in plain sight", like Assassin's Creed, though there are plenty of moments of sneaking around. Gameplay generally involves killing guards, stealing their clothes, making your way into restricted areas, and taking out a target in some kind of creative fashion (poisoning drinks, sabotaging things to fall on them, etc). There are occasional instances where you're required to snipe the target from afar, or go guns-blazing on a group of enemies. It's pretty varied as stealth games go.
Not sure about Gamecube, but Hitmans 2, 3, and 4 are all on the Xbox.
2 would be as good a place as any to start (most people started there, I think). Watch some youtube videos, see what you think of them. 3 and 4 are a bit more stylish, however, so it's up to you.
