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.

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.

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!

I got this game and started to play it as soon as I got it, I played the 1st version of the game in computer, and I was kind of disappionted since it was pretty hard, and you had to work a hell lot to win it. But this one is great, it makes you work your mind, and try to solve the mission. The best part is that you can solve it in different ways.. so u can always win ajajaja. I am still playing it.. it's kind of hard.. the nature of the game makes you be silent, and careful at you moves.

Bottom line...BUY THIS GAME!! It is worth every penny. You will have hours of enjoyment, wait... Days of enjoyment. Why? Because you will discover there are multiple ways in completing missions. The enemy AI is excellent and will keep you on your toes. You'll have the ability to subdue enemies and disguise yourself in their clothing, but be carefull not to look too suspicious by running, carrying the wrong weapon, or even letting the enemy see your face. The AI is that good. If you run you can alert enemies in the next room or even floor above. The weapons are first class with a wide variety: Axe,Swords,knives, pistols, anesthetic, Rifles, remote bombs, smoke bombs, even a golf club. Missions can be completed with guns blazing or with total "silence"(a bonus is given when you achieve a rating of "silent assassin") As I said, there are number of different ways of completing missions: Pick em off from long range or sneak up on them and strangle them with your fiber wire. Graphics are excellent and the locations are top notch. The realism in this game is top notch as well: knock a guy out with the choloroform and wait too long, he will wake up 5-10 min. later and alert the guards, when using the scope on your sniper rifle you'll have to wait while your breathing regulates for a steady shot. Another plus is the ability to save your game at any point making it playable at anytime.
This game will give you days of fun with the ability to go back and play it again using a different approach with your level of aggression or stealth.

I have over 60 games and soon over 70. I have every shooting game I can buy and every other action, adventure, survival horror game their is but their is one that stands out, Hitman 2 Silent Assassin. I saw this game and knew their was something that was going to be diffrent about it. I bought it when it came out and was I ever right. This game has just something special about it that no other game can compete with. The graphics are just perfect in their own way and the level setup can't get better. The Nintendo Gamecube version I was reading the other day came out after the Xbox and PS2 versions and that Eidos put more time into the Gamecube version then any other, which is great. The sound is cool and a high point is not every gun sounds the same. Actually you here about 12 diffrent things in one level from cars,guns,talking,mice,walking,breathing, and alot more. The game is loaded with weapons and their all completely loaded and ready to go. Their is one level which has a wierd glitch which you must outsmart within the game itself which is hard but that is the second to last level. I could go on and on about this game but no words could even compare with you playing the game. Try it, buy it, rent it, burrow it I don't care just make sure you try it.

As one of the first games in the action\stealth genre it still holds up pretty well even today.

Very enjoyable....even if it is a violent video game. It's one of the few games I play over and over and have yet to get sick of it!!!!

This game rocks, it is fun and immersive from start to finish, you wont want to put your controller down. Plenty of replay value because you can go at a mission in so many ways

It was easy enough for me to get used to the control scheme but have a friend who has the game to and he could never get used to the controls so some will get it and for others it will be awkward. The missions can range from intuitive to needing a guide or internet help. Fun but not really breaking any new ground. Recommended if you are looking for an RPG with shooter elements but not recommended if you are looking for a shooter.
