You know how in most game series there's always that one title that is the/was the high point of the series, one that, even though maybe lacks all the best and whistles of the latest release, still improved a ton its predecessors and kind of set the tone and is perfectly playable to this day? Like Need for Speed 3, Ultima 7, Morrowind? That game is Hitman 2. I would easily recommend skipping the original and playing this one instead.
