Great stuff, I always loved the Crusader series for many reasons: the big love for details in general (play the game around Xmas...), the graphics, the music (one of the soundtracks I kept listening to over all those years), the scenario and atmosphere, the (to some extend) open level design with exploration, the big armory, [...]. The only bad aspect about these games are the controls, it really takes some time to pull of a good Silencer performance. Once you can pull it off, the Crusader titles are not likely to be forgotten. One of the games I most wished for a level editor.
It always felt to me like a dystopian crossover between a character from Star Wars (bounty hunter Boba Fett = Silencer. I mean, c'mon...) and the world of Total Recall - and how could you go wrong with that ?
Small anecdote: it felt badass as a kid to discover that editing a 0 to 1 in a small text config file could reset the censoreship. Hell yeah.
Gonna watch the intro from No Regret now, yeah...
