    My first Hitman game. Although I was far too young to play this kind of games, I liked it very much.

    My first Hitman game and my very first stealth game. When I played it first, I was used to shooting everything in sight but slowly learned to play stealthily.

    In the second part, we improved everything that was good in the second part and added a lot of new things. And the game turned out really cool.

    Atmospheric levels, amazing storyline. The mission in St. Petersburg is still in my memory. I remember how I wanted to complete each mission to the maximum rank, and this made me replay the game several times on different difficulties.

    It's really one of the best games for the year it was made. Also, as in codename:47, they made the finale very well. I have not found peace in this world, I will bring justice.

    The classic hitman, true that the interactive options were comparatively less, but the story, gameplay and setting balanced it all! A prefect classic game!

    Игра про наемного убийцу. Здесь вы должны выполнять задание.
    Геймплэй так себе. Мало видов убийства. Тупые нпс. Много оружии. Сюжет на высшем уровне. Сюжет: Вы сначала работайте на монастыре, так как 47-ой хочет уйти от всего этого. И вот, через время приезжает мафия, и забирают священник. После этого, 47-ой идет снова убивать.    Игра про наемного убийцу. Здесь вы должны выполнять задание.

    Игра, оставившая все плюсы оригинала и добавившая другие. Однако не радует "шкала подозрения" (назовём её так), из-за которой ИИ мог узнать ГГ буквально за пару секунд. Но несмотря на это, проект от IO Interactive заслуживает 10/10. Музыка от Йеспера Кюда превосходна.
    P.S.:Также можно было вырезать пару миссий в Афганистане из-за ненадобности.    Игра, оставившая все плюсы оригинала и добавившая другие.

    HITMAN 2 SILENT ASSASSIN is a huge improvement from the first game, the gameplay is a lot more fun, the bad controls from the first game have been addressed and fixed. You can actually run this game in 1080p without it crashing or lagging. Huge improvement.

    The third best game in the saga I've tried, very good playability and number of missions, beating the hitman 3 of 2004 that was much worse than this title, the truth is that the scenarios like san petesburgo in russia are phenomenal, the good thing would be that it came out a remastered version with a graphic engine like the current video games and would be a legend in the world of gaming.

    Almost as good as the original, this Hitmal sequel has great levels and great stealth/disguise mechanics. However, stealth is not mandatory, and if you want an easier game, you can just shoot everyone. You can also save 3 times during missions.

    I played every single Hitman game and I have to say that this one is was the most challenging and the most interesting. I enjoyed the story (even though there were only 5 missions that was important to the story and the other missions were just contract hits.)

But this hitman remains to be my favorite (Blood money is a close second due to it's creativity.

    But the beauty of hitman 2 is that there are many ways to approach this game. As a silent assassin taking precautions or as a shooting maniac who shoots his way to get to the target. The aggressive approach to the game is a quick and exciting way to beat the game, but silent assassin is much more difficult, making sure you watch each step and move you make and beating the game in silent assassin is much more rewarding.

    All in all, if you are looking for a game with stealth with an open world concept than get this game. This game explores different stealth possibilities which you won't find in any other game like splinter cell, thief, and ninja gaiden. But the problem is that the controls are off so if you played a different hitman game, the controls are different and you have to get used to it. Also the graphics are outdated, but this is a great game, my favorite stealth game right behind splinter cell chaos theory.    … Expand

Firearms feel very powerfull and are very effective. At the same time they can completely blow your cover and bring down a bunch of enemies on your tail. This keeps the shooting fresh and meaningfull. The level design is way superior to that in the first one. In 2002 the sound and graphics were unbelievable, but they're so stylish they still hold up. Gameplay wise, it's a bit less difficult than the original. Which is good because Hitman: codename 47 was at times almost impossible. It's still a thinking man's shooter. You have the choice between stealth, gunplay or the middle way, although stealth is encouraged. Sometimes you start out very carefully untill the game surprises you and you have to improvise or shoot your way out to survive. Those moments make the game stand out. The final mission "Redemption at Gontranno" is one of the best endgame levels I've ever experienced. Really, really good! 9.2/10.… Expand

    Game plot is really nice and intriguing, guards AI feels far, far more human than the first entry of the series and sniping is not easy anymore because now you have breath simulation while aiming.
    Sadly they enabled (with certain limits) in-mission savegames but I strongly suggest you not to use them, reloading a savegame just ruins the atmosphere.

    Game graphic is top notch for a 2002 game, music is extremely good too (not to mention that is also 100% fitting).

    Just to let you realize how good this game is, when I completed the last mission I felt sad because it was finished and I wanted more, and more... strongly suggested to anyone, a must have.    … Expand

    Hitman 2 is arguably the best stealth game that has ever released, forget the big titles such as MGS or anything like that. I'm not going to say much about the graphics as they are dated now. Although, they were remarkable when this game first released. I'll add that the foliage physics are now absent from this iteration that were previously found in Hitman: Codename 47.

I'll add that the foliage physics are now absent from this iteration that were previously found in Hitman: Codename 47. I also like how ballistics work in the game, it's unique. The level design, for it's time, is phenomenal. Such is the case with the storyline. It kept me immersed throughout my playthrough. The environments are enormous this time. And they're filled with NPCs, that may be civilians or enemies, so you won't get bored just wandering around.

    The animations, however, are a bit clunky. But, again, taking into account its release date, it seems fair. Besides, it's nothing that would keep you from stop playing. I really, really loved sniping in the game. Some may say that the game is "hard". But that's just casuals whining how they can't move the mouse properly. The game's difficulty is realistic when played at expert, the AI becomes even more clever. At professional difficulty the game becomes frustratingly hard, you'd have to be a pro to achieve a silent assassin rating in that! Also the **** that say the voice acting is bad don't know what voice acting really is. David Bateson's voice is **** incredible, even more than Chris Formage's from GTA SA.
    Overall the game is a must-buy for all you stealth lovers.    … Expand

    Sure, it could've been longer, and a multiplayer option wouldn't have hurt either, but even as it is, I really couldn't find anything wrong with the game - it's fun, intense, and most of all, highly enjoyable.
