Enter the mind of a genetically-engineered assassin-for-hire Agent 47, whose deadly efficiency is now needed more than ever. Lured back into a global ring of deception by a twisted Russian crime boss, he must kill not only to make a living, but to keep himself alive. This time it's not just business, it's personal.
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin takes what's best from its predecessor and improves upon it, creating a top-notch stealth-action game with a gripping story and slick gameplay. Each mission is created with impressive attention to detail, and this level of complexity allows the player to find his or her own path to complete each assignment however seems best. A huge arsenal of guns and gadgets give you all the tools you will ever need, but your best weapons are still stealth and deception and this is something you can’t get for money. What you do and how you do it is entirely up to you, and as long the target is dead, the client is happy.
Improves on its predecessor in almost every way brings the gameplay to its full potential.
Extraordinary mission design that gives total freedom of movement and an impressive level of interactivity with the environment.
Monumental and memorable soundtrack made by acclaimed composer Jesper Kyd.
This is another "must have" of the entire Hitman series at this moment (the other ones being Hitman: Agent 47, Hitman: Contracts and Hitman: Blood Money). Great story, gameplay, soundtrack and a exciting climatic ending. You will never regret about this game franchise. In fact, you will love it!
This is definitely one of my top 5 games - the story was very engaging, the maps were enormous back then and the limitless possibilities of reaching the target boosted the replayability to a limitless time. And OH MY GOD the soundtrack! Jesper Kyd became my all time favourite composer, especially when I learnt that he didn't use any of the ethnic instruments to compose a 'native-sounding' soundtrack (check the violins and flute parts of the Japan missions tracks). As for the graphics - I'm used to such games, so they appear 'normal' to me, but the physics of the tie and the capes that are on the maps still impress me till this day.
Overall - this is one of those journeys that you'll never forget.
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is where this series really started coming into its own. The game was a monumental step forward for the franchise after Codename 47, releasing on both consoles and PC, and generating a huge amount of critical and commercial success which propelled the series into the mainstream. The storyline here is probably the best in the entire series, and is the main driving focus for completing the game. Also, let's talk about that soundtrack. Jesper Kyd really knocked it out of the ballpark with this one, creating the best Hitman soundtrack of the franchise. The main menu theme alone is worthy of the greatest praise. The levels this time around are both great fun and some of the most frustrating in the entire series. While the gameplay has seen several improvements over Codename 47, the AI is still very awkward. If you even so much as look at wandering guards wrong, they'll open fire on you. This can lead to very trial and error gameplay instead of the experimentation seen in Contracts and Blood Money. There are a few standout missions in the game, and the good does outweigh the bad, but the AI quirks and general trial and error puzzles keep this game from reaching the heights of the two sequels following it. Graphically the game looks pretty good for its time, and it's a huge step up from Codename 47 in every way with its presentation. There's a staggering amount of weapons to obtain, and using the cheats to obtain all of them and going on a murdering spree is surprisingly more fun in this game than any other Hitman in my opinion. Overall, it's a very solid Hitman game, and, if not for its sequels, would have been more fondly remembered if they didn't improve even more upon the formula.
I love Hitman 2: Silent Assassin for so many reasons.
1. From the tech point of view, I dont see any bad optimization, bugs or any gliches.
2. Long lasting story, and gameplay are Rocks!
3. Third persone perspective is perfect.
4. Originality
5. Dificulty
and there so many more things to say. This is what I call a well made game.
