    More freedom, more options, and the same intense gameplay of the original. The sequel is much more forgiving on gamers than its predecessor, but the gameplay still remains as addicting as ever.

    Every mission is a blast to play, with its incredible freedom, and the fact that no matter what you do, you’re going to have fun doing it. The game is stunningly realistic and stylish, and polished to a T.

    The game’s coup de grace, however, lies in the intelligence of the other characters you encounter.

    This is a very solid game. I can only find 2 downsides. First, stealth is optional for a while. I just killed everyone in sight and beat the level with ease. I'm not sure if that's bad or good. Secondly, the controls are somewhat awkward, making trying to run forward turn into switching items if your fingers are in the wrong position. Overall, this is a great game, and since it's free on Gametap, give it a shot. You might like it.… Expand

    It's just that the the game is too arcade-like - childish.

    I... I really don't get this series. I don't deny that Hitman games are great, but they're simply not for me. I don't find entertaining scripted as hell AI, which is stupid as well, and slowly infiltrating enemy territory to get one "bad guy"... Story isn't good. It's average. You can play and don't even care about cut-scenes. I got just bored playing this game,… Expand
