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.
I'm almost done with this game -only 2 levels to go- and while I've been taking my time to play this game, every time I played it left me hooked and wanting more -more speed, more high caliber combat, more exploration- This game is a delight, with its heavy downsides, like the horrid backtracking. However, it's tons of fun.
