5.0 out of 5 stars A real challenge, August 8, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Hitman 2 Silent Assassin (Video Game)

To think that Hitman 2 is an action shooter is a big mistake. If what you want is to go out and star killing everything in plain sight buy a XBOX or a PS2, there TONS of games like that for those consoles... anyway, the real thing about Hitman 2, what makes it really special, is the fact that is more like a puzzle.

The challenge is to make the hit without having to kill anyone else but the target. You just CANT go out shooting everyone cause most times it just wont work. The game requires thinking and patiens.

For blood thirsty players these is the "wrongest" game there can be. For players that love inteligent and elegant gaming, you must at least rent these one. Its a true challenge.

5.0 out of 5 stars This game OWNS, June 24, 2003

This review is from: Hitman 2 Silent Assassin (Video Game)

in the game Hitman 2, you become the role of a retired assassin. Now, I dont want to give away the storyline of the game but it takes you to various places in the world, in which you must do mission such as assassination, sabotage of different technology and many other objectives. Throughout the game, you have access to huge amounts of weaponry such as assault rifles, pistols, submachineguns, and sniper rifles. In this game, you are able tochange your clothes acording to those that soldiers or civilians wear to get to your target. This is one of the most realistic games I have ever seen for a game consol. There are many more reasons why this game is so awsome but the 1,000 word limit here would not allow me to write them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as awesome as it was on PS2 and XBOX., February 27, 2003

This review is from: Hitman 2 Silent Assassin (Video Game)

This game is just as awesome as it was on PS2 and XBOX. The graphics are great, with realistic looking weapons, and some gory effects. The game can be played using stealth tactics, or the all guns blazing approach. The game is definetely not for kids, also due to the game's difficulty. Simply put, this game can get hard! Some levels boil down to a complex game of trial and error. However, the game is very open-ended. each of the missions can be played several times, each time having a different experience. If you own it already, this Gamecube port has little new, outside of 1 new mission and slightly smoother graphics. If you do not own it, buy immediately!
