Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Hitman 2 is, without a doubt, one of the most superb shooter games I've ever played. However, it should be duly noted that it, like its predecessor, is not a normal shooter. If you like melee games like Unreal, Hitman 2 may not be for you. It's all about stealth. On the harder levels you cannot win if you just go around shooting everyone.
That said, this game excels at being a thinking man's shooter. You can make it through many missions and only kill your targets if you're careful. You can now drug people, so that they wake up later but you can still steal their keys, guns, etc.
Hitman can assume disguises if he finds them, or he can change into the clothes of dead adversaries. This allows him to infiltrate enemy territory without raising an immediate alarm. Unlike in the original game, however, guards now see through disguises quickly if you stay near them too long, or carry a gun they wouldn't normally carry. They're very smart.
The weapon selection is top-notch. Old favorites like the fibre wire, Hardballers (now called Silverballers), army m60, and the WA2000 Sniper are back, along with some new additions like the SPAS auto-shotgun and the hunter's crossbow. You can even get a silenced pair of Ballers if you beat the first mission without firing a single shot (think: anesthetic or fibre wire).
Controls are pretty much the same, with one crucial exception: you now hold a key down to toggle run/walk. In Hitman, there were 2 separate keys for run and walk. Now there's a forward key and a key you hold to run. Much more intuative, I think.
The only thing that detracts from the game is the overall interface; by this I mean the system of choosing missions. In Hitman, the player created a profile which kept a list of previous missions for easy replay. This is gone. Hitman 2 keeps track of games simply through saves, so a list of 30 save games mixed among 3 difficulties can get confusing when they have only the name of the mission. However, if you just stick to loading the top game, you're pretty sure to have all the weapons you had when you stopped playing the night before.
Overall, this game is extremely fun. Better graphics than the original, beautiful levels, awesome weapons, and an amazing soundtrack that sounds straight out of a spy movie. If you like espionage/assassin games, games that require stealth not slaughter, then this is the perfect game for you. And even if you like killing everyone and everything that moves, this game has lots to offer (I like whacking pigs with a golf club or picking doves out of the sky with a crossbow).
Buy this (and the original, if you don't have it) and enjoy! You won't regret it.
