    The first level is no pushover, yet immensely entertaining and freeform, as is the entire game. This is a must have, unless the site of blood makes you squeamish.

    Even the most experienced gamers will find a serious, rewarding challenge in the game's highest difficulty mode, yet the well-rounded design of Hitman 2 means just about anyone with a taste for the subject matter, or just a stomach for it, will really like the game and its distinctively cinematic style.

    A fun, smart action shooter that features a couple of unique ideas. IO Interactive has done a great job of developing levels that really feel non-linear and if you're anything like me you're going to appreciate the logic and AI that saturates each path 47 chooses.

    Overall, I found this game to be difficult to get into from a control perspective and then once I became familiar with the controls, the game was an exercise in frustration rather than a pleasure to play.
