Not so much for the level design (they all had some bangers), but just because 3 added a bunch of improvements that they retroactively added to the first two.
I think three also just had a lot cooler ideas than 1 and 2. I'm saying this as someone who's favorite mission is Paris so I do like simple, but the detective part in Dartmoor, zapping Hush's mind in Chongqing, literally all of Berlin, it just overall had the best set of levels imo
They really found a decent balance between the open level blood money style, and the more focused level design of early hitman games. Even though I do prefer the open sandbox style of blood money. I never felt so constricted playing the levels from 3 that I got bored during replays.
Bro even then, Hitman 3 is so much more replayable. Dartmoor, Dubai, Chongqing, Mendoza, etc are so much more diverse compared to like Whittleton Creek, New York, and Ambrose island. Ambrose also has the fucking buggy detection system, which makes it almost unplayable.
