Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Eidos' stylish, strategic and almost puzzle-like Hitman 2 makes its console debut, managing to address many of the criticisms that haunted the PC original while still falling short of its potential. The premise sets up the player as a genetically modified hit man, forced out of retirement when things get a little personal. Each level then sets up an overall mission, broken down into sub-objectives, thankfully with a much-requested save-game feature included in case things get a little hairy. This isn't your standard walk-and-shoot kind of game, though; Hitman 2 rewards planning, and lots of it. While there's no fixed linear route through any of the levels, each will require a lot of thought to be defeated. What limits the game's potential though is the continual stream of frustrations. The enemy's artificial intelligence, for instance, is sometimes very sadly lacking, and there are occasions when the pace drops to snail-like speed, without always generating sufficient tension to carry the player through. That said, when it hits top gear Hitman 2 can be tense, atmospheric and enjoyable. Graphically it's very polished, and those who enjoy games that reward solid thinking more than an itchy trigger finger will certainly find something to enjoy. But while undoubtedly a step forward from its predecessor, it's an ambitious game that still falls short of what could have been. Put simply, it's good, it's challenging, but it still leaves quite a lot of room for improvement. --Jon Foster Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Suave, stylish and stunningWhat can make a game is atmosphere. It can have cool guns and suave moves but atmosphere is something that is under-appreciated. The Hitman games, especially Hitman 2, is drenched in atmosphere. It's settings wherein you play the levels are simply amazing. Hitman 2 revolves around a clone who works in the profession of "cleaning" but, after the bloodbath of the original game, Hitman: Codename 47, our hero, 47, is now religious and lives alone in a church with a priest in Sicily. Wanting to lure him from his lair to show off his skills, a Russian crime lord hires a group of Sicilians to kidnap the priest. This takes you into the first level of the game, "Anathema", a powerful opening level as you stalk around the mansion of the Mafia ... Read More: Rating:  - A Silent But Deadly HitHitman 2 is one of those games that may go unnoticed when players list their top games. Its gameplay is a that of a FPS mixed with the 3rd person perspective of Max Payne or to some extent Tomb Raider. Its graphics arent ground breaking but still look amazing and the control system works perfect. The game even has a story (you play Hitman codenamed "47" and are lured back into the deceptive and dark underworld of crime) and theres something about being on the wrong side of the law that appeals to most gamers. Theres a lot of weapons to choose; from handguns, semi-automatics and shotguns to sniper rifles, knifes, swords, crossbows and even golf sticks!! And these add to the enjoyment and variety in the game (should ... Read More: Rating: - Hitman 2This game was made to be a stealth game and after Splinter Cell I wanted another. This isn't one. A stealth game is when you can't set off alarms, can't run and not be heard, can't just run into a place and shoot everyone. Having said that the game is a great game. It is fun. That is all you can describe it as. The storyline is poor to say the least and the graphics dont compare to the top games. The weapons are great, there is a wide range for each level except for one somewhat boring and pointless level. You have no weapon, nowhere to hide and if anyone sees you, you're doomed. It is luck if you make it or not and your best bet is to run as fast as you can through the city and hope that no one sees you. The other levels are cool though. ... Read More: Rating: - Stylish & CerebralThis is the sequel to the computer game a few years back. But before I go on, I feel that I should point out that this is a very mature game. It has violent and disturbing content in large amounts. But its also incredibly fun. The game starts you off a while after the events of the first game. 47 has now "retired", and wishes to live his life in a Sicilian monastery, peacefully. But as you can guess, this is shattered when his past catches up with him, (tending tomatoes doesn't make for a very exciting game), and once again he must enter a dark world of violence, to save his friend Padre Vittorio. But who gives a damn? On with the game. After a very brief tutorial, which also shows Vittorio’s kidnapping, the player is thrust head ... Read More: Rating: - AwesomeWhat I really like about this game is that you can play it so many ways. You can go in guns blazing or take the stealth approach. You're perfomance is rated after each mission so you have an incentive to replay a mission again to see if you can improve. The only downfall is that at times the soldiers seem unrealistic in their actions, some would just stand around even though you've just killed a soldier standing next to them. I'd recommend splinter cell if you're looking for good AI, but apart from that, the game is really enjoyable and addictive too! |
