Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

The game dosent work! i try several things to do like:modify the ini file,change the resolution, put it in window mode but still dosent work! when you start the game you will hear only sounds, the cinematics are black or gray and finaly when you manage to get in the game and you try to walk it freez!

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.

Good luck making it work on win10 machine. Graphic glitches, hard to controll, it's really, really sad :(

Hitman 2 Silent Assassin is the bigger, more expensive sequel of Hitman Codename 47. However, it makes some of the same mistakes. It makes up for it in the level department. The levels are far bigger and more interesting than in the previous game. The biggest mistakes are in the Japan missions, where two of them are bugged and cannot be properly completed without breaking "silent assassin". Another big mistake that IO made in this game is the AI/pathfinding. It's beyond broken and it's laughable how every guard seems to have psychic powers and will know 47's exact location. Also, the rules regarding disguises are not very clear. All in all, it's a good game and a fine way to celebrate Hitman's 25th, but its future is far brighter.

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
