Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Graphics: Markedly better than Hitman: Contracts. There are still some strangulation issues, but the massive graphical glitches are gone. Still not quite as Half-Life, though. The game is much much easier on slower systems that Contracts is so even if you have a 5 year old computer you should be able to run it at the lowest settings.

Sound: Same great sound effects as before.

Gameplay: Now the story gets more involved. The before mission sequences before each level is enough to get you through the level and tell you a little bit more about the story. Still hard as hell, though.

Controls: If you didnt like the default controls in Contracts, you won't like these. I suggest changing them to the up/down/left/right arrows and transferring all of the major buttons to the Enter, Right Shift, Right Control, Right Alt, ",", ".", "/" and Spacebar.

Overall: Better than the others, that is for sure. Still Hitman but with better packaging and new stuff.

THE GOOD:
Weapons selection is excellent.
Graphics are very high quality.

THE BAD:
Only that you cant do hand to hand combat and sneaking isnt as good as I wanted.

SUMMARY:
The storyline isnt the best in the world but you cant have everyhitng.

This is one of the best games that I have ever played.

The gamplay is fantastic and the levels are superb.

There is a huge selection of weapons even though you dont really need them since you need to do the missions as stealthy as possible.

The AI is pretty good. When you are in missions you need to kill someone you have to get a disguise to get past guards but the guards are not that stupid so you need you watch out that they dont see through you, which happens queit alot.

Overall I would say you have to play this game at least one time in your...

THE GOOD:
Excellent selection of weapons, targets & locations

SUMMARY:
Looking for a stealth game? Looking for an action game? Well Hitman 2:SA is both! Either complete your mission with out even being seen, or run in with all guns blazing - Its your choice. None of that It seems someones seen you, lets try the whole mission again bs to be found here.

From fibre wire to SP12 Shotguns, chlorofom to M60 Machine guns, Hitman 2 has every weapon you could possibly want!

Each mission will encourage you to try a new tactic to get that hit completed, some will require you to get up close & personal, some you can quite happily sit a few hundred meters away lying in wait for your target to pass between your crosshair.

To sum it up, Hitman 2 gives you total flexibility on how you complete your missions which leads you to go back to try them...

THE GOOD:
Lots of weapoons, massive levels, puts you in the shoes of a james bond type secret agent, very realistic.

THE BAD:
levels may be a little TOO challenging

SUMMARY:
Lots of weapoons, massive levels, puts you in the shoes of a james bond type secret agent, very realistic. bad stuf is levels may be a little TOO challenging over all a pretty good game! I would suggest this game to anyone!

THE GOOD:
ALL

THE BAD:
THE AIMING SYSTEM

SUMMARY:
THE ONLY DISANDVANTAGE OF THE GAME , IS THE AIMING SYSTEM. I THINK THAT AN AUTO LOCK AIMING SYSTEM, WOULD HELP THE GAME AND THE GAMER. I ALSO NOTICED, THAT SOME MISSIONS WERE VERY DIFFICULT AND OTHERS VERY EASY. IN GENERAL , THE GAME IS EXCITING AND ORIGINAL. IT REMINDED ME ' MAX PAYNE ' A LITTLE, BUT I THINK THIS ONE IS BETTER. THE SOUNDS THE MUSIC THEMES AND THE SPEECH ARE ALSO SUPERB.

THE GOOD:

THE GOOD:
Great Ending! Very fun to play blasting everything insight, or planning attacks by stealth. Fun choosing how you want your victim to be killed, shot in the back of the head, posion, or come up from behind and choke em with the fiber wire!

THE BAD:
47 needs to learn how to hold his breath when sniping someone!

SUMMARY:
This game is great! A complete work of art. Wheather you wanna go in blasting everybody that gets in your way, or sneak up in the hideout, obtain a disguise and assassinate your victim more quietly like a silenced shot to the back of the head, or more clean by choking his ass with the fiber wire! The game is great, the levels are well brought out, and the graphics look great. The story line is great. And the ending is awesome, I'll just tell you it may remind you of the ending of Scarface. The weapons are fun to use, especially the ballers, man do those guys fly! The missions are challanging, but very fun...gunning down...

THE GOOD:
Much better story line than the original. Most of the problems that plagued the first have been taken care of. The map and the in-game save really make the game more enjoyable and easier to navigate.

THE BAD:
Just minor problems really. One being no matter what you disguise yourself as, if you stand too close to a bodyguard or civilian they automatically spot you which makes for some frustration. The music's not as daunting as the first one as they seem to have opted for a more upbeat tone. Not that this takes away any of the fun I just enoyed the "terminatoresque" sound when stalking your victims other than what's found on this one.

SUMMARY:
First of all I'll just say that even though some had mixed feelings on it, I was a huge fan of the first one. Even though it had several flaws which detracted from the overall gameplay I thought the concept was just fantastic and have probably played that game more than any other that I've...
