Blood Money is set mostly in America, forgoing the prior games' globetrotting murder marathon for a smaller scale plot involving a rival agency to the ICA. Each level is so memorable to me, to the point I'm going to rate them individually RIGHT NOW.

Death of a Salesman - a crumbling theme park and 2006's best racial politics are the highlights of this linear tutorial level that still lets you get Silent Assassin if you're good enough. 6/10

A Vintage Year - 47 attends a wine tasting party to bump off two Cartel guys, one of whom just loves to play the cello. 7/10

Curtains Down - set in an opera house in Paris, being able to sabotage the play by replacing a prop gun with a real gun is fantastic, as is the concept of dropping a massive chandelier on the second target when he runs to help his dear friend. 8/10

Flatline - ruin rehab for three mobsters, and then wait for an eternity as an NPC is transported to the mission's end point. 6/10

A New Life - enjoy the wonders of suburbia by dressing as a clown and shanking security guards with hedge trimmers, or make friends with the local feds by giving them donuts. "Full disclosure? We're actually FBI." 8/10

The Murder of Crows - cause havoc at a Mardi Gras parade by hunting down three assassins dressed as emo Big Bird, before stealing diamonds and getting down on the dance floor. 8/10

You Better Watch Out - succumb to carnal temptations and get stabbed to death for it while dressed as Santa; or shoot a guy through a jacuzzi and ruin Christmas for everyone. Give a dog a sausage to make it go to sleep! 10/10

Death on the Mississippi - dismantle a local gang of extremely muscular men and their almost offensively gay boat captain; toss men and women overboard with reckless abandon! 8/10

Till Death Do Us Part - 47 enjoys a spot of country dancing before forceably divorcing a newly married couple, before exercising his right to openly carry a pistol for the purpose of self defence. 7/10

A House of Cards - stop a white supremacist and his scientist friend from meeting with a sheikh, while waiting six real world minutes for them to arrive! 9/10

A Dance With the Devil - attend two WILDLY different parties in one night to stop weapons smugglers and assassins who challenge you to a shootout in the world's most soundproofed concrete storage room, while also discovering that Allen needs to add details. 10/10

Amendment XXV - Mr 47 Goes to Washington to PREVENT an assassination by assassinating an assassin. Also, shit goes down in the Oval Office and you can get a tourist yelled at for carrying a pistol in her suitcase. 9/10

Requiem - put the fun in funeral. 8/10
