                              Fairly good, but not for the "gamer of gore"

                              If you are the sort of person to enjoy games full of blood and guts, this is not the game for you. You are an assassin and in every mission you have to kill a specific person, and getting detected reduces points.

                              Hence, I found this game rather boring if you can't go in guns blazing all the time, but you may find it enjoyable.

                              Follow your heart.

                              Everything we wanted in the first part of the series was pumped into this part, where the name speaks for itself. In this game you can really be a silent killer, and it is from this part that we can officially consider the birth of the great series of games. Here you literally feel like a killer who needs to calculate his every step, and competently approach the matter, planning all possible ways to eliminate the target. Not to say that in terms of gameplay, much has changed, and the plot itself is only demonstrated at the beginning and at the very end, but I repeat, this game is truly unique in its genre of stealth action, conveying in the right key the entire deep essence of Hitman.

                              Absolutley Brillant - One of the best

                              Now to start I never played Hitman 2. I first heard bout the game in previews then someone who had bought it gave me a loan. At first i hated this game because I found it to be slow moving but then I was given it as a present. After playing it I actually fell in love with it. This game is cool in that it makes you want to go stealth. You can solve problems with multiple solutions but eventually you want to see if you have the skill to do it through stealth. And you will need a high amount of skill because at times this game seems impossible but believe me if you stick with it you will be rewarded with a great sense of pride. Overall anyone should buy this 10/10

                              One of the most standout games in a long time.

                              Simply put, this game is outstanding. The graphics are top class, the physics engine rivals that of unreal tournament 2003, and the gameplay is one of the most amazing thing ive come across in a video game in a long time. Each level is brilliantly designed, and the fact that each mission has numerous ways of completion, really helps create a non-linear feel to the whole thing, not to mention, making this a game you can replay over and over again. One key theme to this game is the whole "silent assassin" thing, so be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting for that perfect moment to make your move - of course you can just run-and-gun your way through the levels, but youd be missing out on something that makes this game truely unique. Nothing beats the feel of stalking in the shadows, picking your moment carefully, and when the times right, strike with the utmost precision....and where if you dont watch your step, it could all be over. An easy 8 out of 10 - you need to get this game.

                              More people need to play this game...

                              If only there were more missions... This game was so great. The grafics are top notch and the guns are pretty darn realistic. Each level has so much detail and there are a billion different ways to complete each level. This game really shows you the life of a hitman. The quick thinking, stealth, smarts, the gun skills, and the take out missions. Unlike many games, the AI is very intelligant even on the easy level setting (I play on professional, and wow, it's difficult). Also, this game is pretty creepy mostly due to the music. Like the last level when I first played this game the music made my palms sweaty and my heart was pounding out of my chest. Anyway, if your up for a challenge play this game NOW. More need to play this AMAZING game.

I'll be carrying nothing from Gontranno but this lesson: never trust anyone and rely on your instincts. Forget the past. I'll never find peace here. So, I'll seek justice for myself. I'll choose the truth I like.
