Get Blood Money instead. It's the far better Hitman game, and game in general.
Absolution is more Splinter Cell than Hitman, and takes a big step back from what made the franchise great by the time of Blood Money. Missions are heavily structured rather than free environments, it's a shooter, there is a "right," way to pull off hits now, the rating system lost all diversity, the story got far too much emphasis, the gameplay is actually fairly far removed from the others in the series.
If it had been reskinned as a Skyfall tie-in game it would have been good. It's disappointing compared to previous installments in its franchise though.
I'd actually suggest Absolution first and here's why: If you play Blood Money first you're going to end up disappointed with Absolution because it's so stripped of what made Blood Money great. Whenever you play Blood Money it'll be a fantastic game. Your enjoyment of Absolution will probably be better without constantly comparing it to Blood Money as you and I did.
