The games are available on multiple platforms including the GameCube, PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The series revolves around Agent 47 (usually referred to as "47" or "Mr. 47"), an assassin-for-hire, whose flawless record has earned a sort of legendary status and placed in him in high demand amongst the wealthy and elite.
