When I first played the game I was really pumped up because I had the idea it was one of the best games ever. After playing it for the first time with my friends I thought it was an excellent game. But when I played it later it justed seemed to hard to get it right. But time has brought the true colors of the game to show. Everything is possible, I have already managed to get through 2 levels using just ONE bullet. The ways you can hide are also amazing, changing clothes, carrying guns inside grosey bags. The graphics are great, everything youd expect out of your xbox. The guns are also great, there are tons of um, the bad thing is you have to end a mission with it to get it. One other bad thing is at the end of the mission you are told how you did and given a rank like hitman, silent assasin, executioner, etc. but you dont know what order they have so you dont know how well you are doing. The game takes a lot of patience, theres a hole lot of walking and little runing. Some people say the controls are hard but if you have halo or just are a good gamer their acctualy kinda easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the intelligent., August 14, 2002

This game as one of the other interviewers said, "Definately not a shooter." This game is for people who like to use their heads and think. I liked the first Hitman, but felt it was a little lacking. This version of Hitman looks like they cleaned up where they missed, the graphics look a whole hell of a lot better too. Stealth is what this game is about, and just like in real life, if you want to be a hitman you have to be unseen, quiet, and smart. Going in with guns blazing, you may drop some people but you'll also get dropped too.
So buy this game only if you like mental challenges. If you're a gun blazer you end up hating this game within about 5 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hitman 2...., October 21, 2002

I purchased this game from EB and was immediately told by the sales person I would be dissipointed since he had been stuck on a particular part of the game for 4 days. I started to feel a bit queasy and after getting home I spent the next 3 hours feeling like a lost puppy. I went to sleep thinking I had wasted "$". But after giving it a rest a little bit and figuring out the controls more I have done a complete 180. The story is good, cutscenes Great and gameplay FANTASTIC!!! It just takes a little getting used too. But this game is a definate buy! You can switch between third person and first person view, many different weapons, and much more. But beware, this game is more about stealth than finishing a mission by killing everything in sight. The current mission I am on I cant be seen by anyone or else the mission is failed. But this game is worth at least a rent and if you like what you see then buy it, this game is the best x-box release in a while.
