Product Description
Enter the realm of a retired assassin, forced back into action by treason. You may be a hired killer but you still have a sense of loyalty and justice. Visit the dark recesses of a world corrupted by crime, greed, degradation and dishonor. And a past that catches up with you. Trust no one - if the price is right, the finger of your most trusted ally will be on the trigger. Your targets may hide in the most remote areas of the planet, but their destruction is never prevented - only postponed.
Amazon.co.uk Review
Eidos?s stylish, strategic, and almost puzzlelike Hitman 2 makes its console debut, managing to address many of the criticisms that haunted the PC original while still falling short of its potential. The premise casts the player as a genetically modified hit man, forced out of retirement when things get a little personal. Each level then sets up an overall mission, broken down into subobjectives, thankfully with a much-requested save game feature included in case things get a little hairy. This isn?t your standard walk-and-shoot kind of game, though; Hitman 2 rewards planning, and lots of it. While there?s no fixed linear route through any of the levels, each will require a lot of thought to be defeated. What limits the game?s potential are a continual stream of frustrations. The enemy artificial intelligence, for instance, is sometimes very sadly lacking, and there are occasions when the pace drops to snail-like speed, without always generating sufficient tension to carry the player through. That said, when it hits top gear Hitman 2 can be tense, atmospheric, and enjoyable. Graphically it?s very polished, and those who enjoy games that reward solid thinking more than an itchy trigger finger will certainly find something to enjoy. It's undoubtedly a step forward from its predecessor, but still falls short of what could have been. --Jon Foster

Utilize stealth, tact, and survival instincts to complete your missions.

 Bad Just Bad. May 25, 2008
Hitman seemed like it was going to be lots of fun until It took me 6 hours out of one day just to try to attempt to beat the first mission. I got it this morning and will be trading it in tomorrow. Just for the record I still have not assassinated the Don in the first mission. This game will frustrate you to the point of migraine and that's not something I'd like to endure in my leisure time. I thought video games were supposed to be fun with a bit of a challenge, not this one though, this is all challenge no fun. Dont But it unless you want a headache.
 Hitman 2 December 8, 2007
It is a clever and fun game- but it tries to be too realistic and cant quite keep it up (i mean the AI is smart, but how smart can they really be?) It feels akward sometimes, but is still great fun.
 Fun stealthy, thinking, and lots of weapons to use May 5, 2007
Hitman 2 silent assassin is a very fun game forcing you to think how to kill the target. you can take peoples clothes to disguise yourself for instance in one mission I clorhorm (is that how you spell it?) a waiter and poisened the food that the target ate. or another time that i pretended to be a shrinks patient and killed the shrink. it is definately a thinking game that rewards planning and stealth.
besides all this there is the huge open missions. all the maps are cleverly designed and are very free-form. there is usually atleast three ways to get into a building and some ways are very well hidden. there is also and abundance of weapons from chloroform and katanas to shotguns and sniper rifles. in one mission you even get a HUGE sniper rifle and are supposed to take out a target with it. that doesn't mean that you have to use the rifle though there are "other" ways. my personal favorite is a silenced pistol which i forget the name of. I like the way that before a mission you can go back to the church where the game began and use all the weapons that you have on a dummy. all the weapons are stored in the shed and there is a lot of them. the sheds walls are covered if you get all the weapons. Hitman 2 is definately a good game

This is an outstanding game!! I'm hooked on the Hitman series. After playing this one, there was no way I was gonna pass on the follow up, Hitman: Contracts. And I've already pre-ordered the next installment, Hitman: Blood Money.
