    This is the first game I have played where I found no positives! It is so copycat, I forgot that I wasn't playing the godfather on Xbox 360. I personally adored the godfather but this...
    Firstly, the stealth doesn't work as you can move in cover, but not turn corners!
    Secondly, whenever you pick up and move an enemy soldier, the body looses all texture and looks like a metal gear solid    This is the first game I have played where I found no positives!

    Worst of all, I paid a whole thirty-two pounds for a game not even worth getting on games with gold.
    At the end of the day, only buy this if your brain cell count is lower than the average only way is Essex cast member!    … Expand

    Tries desperately to be Hitman and fails spectacularly. Clunky gameplay, poor physics, moronic cutscenes and no brightness option makes this a complete and utter dud. To even compare this to Hitman is an insult to the franchise.

    Ok. i didnt even finnish the first mission before i uninstalled and refunded this last gen garbage. Graphics are worse than some 360 games, i can see the damn polygons in the characters head and e has only 8 movement directions: Forward, backward, left, right, forward right diagonal, forward left diagonal, backward right diagonal and backward left diagonal. nothing in between. games fromOk. i didnt even finnish the first mission before i uninstalled and refunded this last gen garbage.

Controls are horrible and its for THE XBOX ONE AND PS4. THIS GARBAGE COULD RUN ON MY OLD 360 AND IF IT WAS RELEASED BACK THEN I STILL WOULD PICK ANOTHER GAME.… Expand

    Dreary and glitchy, a reminder that Hitman 2: Silent Assassin isn't as good as you recall. [May 2016, p.78]

    Alekhine's Gun hardly does anything right. The gameplay feels ancient and the AI is not particularly intelligent. It's based on a concept we enjoyed in the past, but in a shape that doesn't make it enjoyable anymore.

    In the rare moments where its elements come together, you’ll be playing a neat, but irrelevant Hitman clone. But most of the time you’re just annoyed by technical and AI shortcomings.
