  • Summary: Wars are not won alone. In a world where the Soviet Union won the Cold War, a fierce conflict is beginning to unfold in the streets of America. Red Army troops are pouring across the borders of Mexico and Canada shortly after a nuclear missile is unleashed on Washington D.C. Chaos sets in when breaking news informs Americans that their President has been killed and the Russians have invaded the country. You take on the role of Christopher Walker, a man who evolves into a charismatic and fearless freedom fighter obsessed with finding and freeing his brother in the streets of occupied New York City.

  1. Deftly avoids the many pitfalls of AI squad tactics, and this, combined with great control, mission design, and presentation, makes for a truly fantastic game.
  2. The one area where this updated "Hitman 2" code shows great improvements is in the rag doll physics model.
  3. It's not too hard, it has a certain charm, it lets you take things on in your own way (as a commander or a commando), and it isn't afraid of pushing the old-fashioned arcade challenge of getting through a level without hitting F6 every ten seconds.
  4. It matches intense, fast-paced action with a squirrely camera and imprecise aiming. Needless to say, that isn't a particularly compelling combination. [Feb 2004, p.77]

    I miss this game so much, my PS2 is ruined and i have a Xbox 360 now. If they made this game for Xbox Arcade i would buy it again in a split second. It might not be amazing to control a hand full of AI people now but when the game came out it was amazing. I never had a problem with this game and i loved playing it in multiplayer. This is a must try game if your not afraid of an old engine. Music for this game is awesome aswell. I also would like to mention that even if you are a european and perhaps not to much into the america-f*** yes type of came, fear not, this is made by a danish company. Let's hope they make a sequal.

    A fun game, the only thing that annoyed me was the plot - boring anti-socialist properganda. A key to switch back to the last weapon would have been nice too. Expand
