Game does not work on modern hardware
This game does not work because it does not have V-Sync, so the cut scenes don't work, the game play is like watching a stop motion movie if I'm lucky. I tried googling and doing all the mods out there but nothing works. Wish I didn't waste the money on this. I'm honestly surprised GOG released this.

It has not aged as well as I remembered
Bought it for nostalgia, sadly, this game has aged like fine milk. As a fan of stealth games and the Hitman series I remember liking this one a lot when I was younger, but expectations and nostalgia didn't help on this one. AI is so inconsistent that it is often more frustrating than fun, enemies bug constantly and can get hostile for no reason and also have the ability to see you even when you are at their backs for no reason, Agent 47 moves so slow as well (if you don’t want to get caught by making noise) that sometimes doing a silent kills need multiples attempts and it is just so annoying. Most levels have really only one simple solution for advancing the objectives and can get quite linear and some need so much trial and error that I question how I liked it so much when I was younger. I can see how it was praised when it came out in 2002, graphics, soundtrack and some stealth mechanics are really neat, especially taking in context when the game came out, but as it is today it just feels clunky and unpolished. It still has some standout levels here and there and the Hitman DNA can still be felt, sadly, IO Interactive were still trying to figure out the game mechanics and systems with this one and the results in this day and age are not satisfying, at least no to me.

a little better than the first one
a little better than the first one i thought it was clever when you are sent to assassinate zavorotko and you get the bullets for your sniper rifle and they turn out to be blanks and your target turns out to be a card board cut out if you liked the first one then you will like this one too

Very strong follow-up
This definitely manages to improve on a number of things from the first. The stealth is somewhat more logical. You’re less likely to be confused by someone seeing through your disguise though it does still happen. The UI is better. This is when we get the introduction to the titular rating and most levels can indeed be completed in a way that earns you Silent Assassin. A number of them you can still shoot your way through if that's what you feel like but it is much more rewarding to play it the way it's intended. There's a lot of variety to the levels you travel in a number of different parts of the world that look and feel very different and they tend to be executed rather well. I don't love that there are levels where you’re basically just going from the start of the level to the end of the level as you gradually make your way towards an area where your actual target is several levels ahead but I will be honest and admit that while it's worse here this problem was also present in the first one. There are some levels that are quite large andor allow you to choose between different sometimes equally compelling ways to carry out your mission and I don't think this one has any of the fakeouts that make it look like you can do a thing but then when you try you just run your head into a wall. The final level does expect you to handle yourself well at something that you haven't been expressly made to up to that point which I think was a mistake. I appreciate the attempt to make the plot more engaging, consistent and clear. I don't think it completely works but certainly it is difficult to tell an overarching story whilst also delivering a series of at first seemingly unrelated, individual contracts. I really wish this allowed you to turn off this thing 47 will do where if you are very close to an enemy and you press fire he will pistol whip instead of shoot which is obviously significantly less effective. The graphics are immensely upgraded.
