Summary

The sequel to Hitman forces a retired assassin back into action by treason. Visit the dark recesses of the world corrupted by crime, greed, degradation, and dishonor. Your contracts will take you to exotic locations around the globe including Sicily, St. Petersburg, Japan, Malaysia, and India. A diverse arsenal of equipment, from armor-piercing rifles and explosives to chloroform and poison darts, are at your disposal. Stalk and eliminate your targets up close and personal, in either first- or third-person perspectives. You must decide whether to use stealth or aggression, but be careful--you'll have to deal with the consequences.

    The stealth portions offer up the really tense moments of this game.

    It is the freedom players have to go about their missions however they desire, the single most important element preventing many good games from shooting up to the level of great ones.

    The gameplay is where the fun shines in as it mixes twitchy gunplay with a puzzle-like bent to stalking your prey.

    Gory, sometimes more so than some would like, yet unique and ultimately satisfying.

    The save game system and the control scheme add to the difficulty more than they should.
