Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Hitman was a bit iffy at first, but with Hitman 2 the series became a truly unique experience that pleases stealth fans with a mixture of gameplay styles. There are shades of Thief and Splinter Cell here, hiding from enemies and moving silently, but there is also a social stealth element that revolves around behavior and appearance. Real spies and assassins don't stay crouched in the shadows 24/7, they socialize with friends and enemies alike, mask themselves as the enemy and play out roles to fit in. Hitman 2 makes this unique life experience into a unique game experience that paved the way for its sequels as well as games like Death to Spies and Assassin's Creed. While inspirational Hitman 2 is still part of a rare breed of games. Its graphics are somewhat stylized and still hold up today while its controls and interface are modern and completely serviceable. It has flaws that were further refined in its sequels, but Hitman 2 still gets a 5 star review for practically inventing a sub-genre and offering stealth gamers not only another rare fix but also something truly inspired and interesting.

Yes I know it already says this in the download section but I realy would like to play this great game again. Loved it back in the days when it was realeased so I bought the whole series now on GOG. The game kind of works on Win10 but everything goes in slow motion so that makes it unplayable... also the cutcenes freeze sometimes. Hope you GOG guys can fix it to work on a Win10 machine, would be great!

I mentioned in my Codename 47 review that it was a new, revolutionary masterpiece, and well, this game is too, upgraded graphics, new types of missions, interesting new levels, and now the option the finish missions HOWEVER you want, you can be stealthy, or you can shoot up the place with whatever guns you may have taken from your little armory, this game is WITHOUT a doubt the best in the series, Sure, Contracts and Blood Money were good, but this is where Hitmans success really started, i can't recommend this game enough, as a matter of fact, why are you reading this? BUY IT NOW! :D

This hitman is almost perfect. It has the best texture, the best system of saves, the best system of disguises, the best missions. Absolution is done well, but the plot is more filler, and the missions are too long for the system checkpoints, in addition, it is nice purist mode only. Also there is a mac version. Blood Money is nice, but the story is realized only at the end, the system of disguises, is too effective, and the missions are too easy. Contracts is a summary. Codename 47 is too difficult. Silent Assassin is among other things the first to introduce the valuation, the only parameter that makes you want to do a mission several times. Worth all the money spent and more. Also it works great with wineskin (so those who use mac or linux can feel comfortable).
