You won't want to stop playing this one for quite awhile, with the interesting story, realistic missions, super graphics, and the whole bag of chips.
-
A variety of paths for each mission promises near infinite replayability.
-
This game has it all: a solid story, good graphics, sound, level designs, and the ability to choose different paths to complete your mission.
-
90It may not be politically correct, it may even be offensive to some, but when you come right down to it, Hitman 2 is an excellent game.
-
90Defies easy categorization by being equal parts a stealth-based sneaker, a puzzler, and a straight-up shooter. After playing video games for so many years, I appreciate games that shake things up a bit.
-
89Ultra violence at its most satisfying with a rich story that will have you cheering for Agent 47 every blood soaked step of the way.
-
This strategizing is made easier by excellent level design tht allows players multiple, open-ended ways to accomplish objectives. [Dec 2002, p.122]
-
89Just looking at the cover of the game, you can tell that it is good.
-
Makes great strides in improving every inch of the original. This is a longer, deeper and more rewarding experience.
-
86Exceptionally well done in most every way and represents a major improvement over the original.
-
85It oozes style and has enough heart n' soul to clearly illustrate how much the developers really loved their baby.
-
Basically one huge lesson in trial and error. [Dec 2002, p.140]
-
The action and espionage genre come together in this game, and come together in a most impressive form.
-
84A well conceived and executed third person game with superior video and audio elements worthy of the system.
-
With only a couple of exceptions, every assignment can be tackled in a dozen different ways. [Winter 2002, p.100]
-
A truly addictive piece of videogaming...A guaranteed hit!
-
80The stealth portions offer up the really tense moments of this game.
-
80A fantastic stealth shooter that, for the most part, utilizes its strengths to great detail, providing a unique experience in terms of level design and the morality of killing in videogames.
-
80The gameplay is where the fun shines in as it mixes twitchy gunplay with a puzzle-like bent to stalking your prey.
-
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.
-
72Gory, 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.
-
A deep, refreshingly stylistic adventure that lets you play at the pitch you desire. [Dec 2002, p.83]

FredC.10By far a 10, top of my list of games ever. Still blows other games out of the water...and I imagine number 3 will be just as badass.
