    It's a solid expansion pack with all the merits and flaws of the original game. And for some reason it has "2" in the title.

    Character and plot pale in comparison to what it lets you do, and Hitman 2 offers a fascinating buffet of accidents to choose from.
  2. Hitman 2 is about possibilities; the maps, weapons, and disguises all make it sing. Patience is it’s own reward: if you study your foes, if you watch the movement of guards, the placement of certain elements, you’ll get back what you put in.

    - lack of normal cutscenes as in the previous game, instead of cutscenes some voiced images (greedy IO);
    - disgusting online mode;
    - lack of optimization of the PC version, despite the small levels, where the Witcher 3 and GTA 5 giving stable fps on ultra settings, Hitman 2 has lags even on low, while the graphics in Hitman 2 is worse than in Hitman Absolution. The funny thing is that in open locations, Hitman 2 gives more FPS, than in the premises.
    - Denuvo, adds more lags, almost 300 mb. exe file - madness.
    - why it was impossible to make a normal single without images of the choice of missions?
    - the game is too short

    If you want to play FullHD at high settings with a stable 60fps, Your minimum PC configuration should be:
    16 GB. RAM
    8 GB. VRAM
    8 cores CPU

    If your PC is weaker than this configuration, you even not try to play this non-optimized piece of ...game, because it will lags even at low settings.

    Excellent game, improves on the last installment in many ways. Massive amount of things to do if you want to complete all the challenges.

    Clearly not 10, more like 7. Maybe 8. People are mad because it's just an expansion to the first game. I rate content here, and content deserves 8.
