Eidos released this trailer of Hitman: Blood Money. It presents the general concept of the game and is really worth a look if you are unfamiliar with the game.
I definitely think Chaos Theory is the best stealth game by incredibly far, but Hitman does so many other things simultaniously. From a design standpoint, making everything work in Hitman is a lot more difficult than making Splinter Cell work. (no discrediting the talent behind that game at all of course)
In Hitman, the game is basically open to a wide number of approaches, and really, if anything, Chaos Theory borrowed from the Hitman design of scenario > linear level, and that made a huge impact on the general greatness of SC. With Blood Money, however, Hitman seems to grab some ideas from Splinter Cell (that I think it should've embraced in Contracts already) so it's like a symbiosis going on. Hitman will never truly become Splinter Cell and vice versa, but that's just a good thing.
Contracts for me perfected the Hitman formula the same way Chaos Theory perfected Splinter Cell, and hopefully Blood Money is to Hitman what SC4 will be to SC, namely a sequel in the true sense, offering a new experience rather than a refined old one.
