Hitman 2 Silent Assassin PC Game
Hitman 2 fixes virtually all of the
problems of its predecessor and stands tall on its own merits as an outstanding action game.There’s no mistaking what
Hitman 2:
Silent Assassin is all about. One look at the bald, sharply dressed man
on the cover, grim as death and armed with a hardballer pistol in each
hand, and you can tell that this isn’t exactly lighthearted stuff.
Hitman 2 Released
Hitman 2, released simultaneously for the PC, Xbox, and
PlayStation 2 platforms, is the sequel to a PC game released two years
ago by Denmark-based developer IO Interactive. The original Hitman:
Codename 47 featured some undeniably impressive technical elements, but
it also had a number of serious problems. Hitman 2 Some players were
able to overcome the control issues and punishing difficulty level of
the game and appreciated it on the strength of its violent concept–you
played as a genetically engineered contract killer and were tasked with
stealthily eliminating a number of well-guarded targets. Hitman 2 At its
best, the game offered both full-on intense action as well as plenty of
nail-biting suspense. Hitman 2 The sequel takes this same idea a step
further and fully realizes it, proving that IO Interactive has the
ability to back up flashy graphics and controversial subject matter with
great gameplay. Simply put, Hitman 2 fixes virtually all of the problems of its predecessor and stands tall on its own merits as an outstanding action game.
As 47, you’ll be charged with a number of high-risk assassination assignments.
Those who never played the original Hitman
already know
all the background on Hitman 2 that they’ll really need. The game
begins with the enigmatic man known only as 47 working not as a hired
gun but as a
gardener. He’s given
up his violent ways and is now serving as a humble groundskeeper in a
Sicilian church. But when the church’s kindly minister is kidnapped, 47
has no choice but to once again don his black suit and unpack his deadly
arsenal of firearms and close-range weapons. He contacts his former
employer to try to track down the priest, but he’ll need to perform a
few jobs before they’ll cough up any details on his friend’s
whereabouts. So much for early retirement. Yet though the story unfolds
vividly using beautifully staged cinematic cutscenes rendered using the
game’s 3D engine, the actual story of Hitman 2 doesn’t really get too
far off the ground. It’s largely an excuse to send 47 around the world
to exotic locations like Japan, Russia, Malaysia, and India, where
you’ll help him infiltrate heavily fortified locations from an ancient
castle to a high-tech software corporation.
Hitman 2 Game Comprises More than 20 Missions In All
Hitman 2 The game comprises more than 20 missions in all, which
you’ll play through one after the other. Though the settings and the
details of each mission are different, most all of them share some basic
themes: getting in, eliminating a key target, and getting out. How you
meet your objective is up to you, whether by guile and stealth or by
brute force, and most missions are cleverly designed to have at least
several viable, even intuitive solutions. If you’re really good, you can
make it through most missions leaving only a single corpse behind–the
only one that matters–and you can make it through having never even
drawn a firearm. If that’s too subtle for you, you can opt to try to mow
down anyone who stands between you and your victim. But you’ll need to
be careful, because your primary target might flee the scene amid
whatever turmoil you cause.
Actually, one of the big differences between Hitman 2 and its
predecessor is that, for various reasons, a forceful approach is much
more viable in the sequel. Hitman 2 At the normal difficulty setting,
it’s in fact much easier, and much faster, to just blast your way
through most missions, partly because your enemies just aren’t that
smart in a shootout, though they can overwhelm you in numbers.
Nevertheless, the game still encourages you to be stealthy, and you’ll
have to be at the game’s two higher difficulty settings. Regardless of
how you play, the fact that you can just start shooting if you blow your
cover will lead to many thrilling, unscripted gunfights against large
groups of foes that look realistic and often act realistically too.
A frontal assault can be effective if you catch your foes by surprise
As 47, you have access to the sorts of moves and weaponry that you’d
perhaps expect from a character of his nature. You’ll get to see 47 ply
his deadly
trade from a default
third-person perspective, though the developers added an optional
first-person view as well. That’s a nice touch, but still, it’s hard to
pass up the third-person option, since it gives you a clear look at all
of 47′s lifelike animations and gives you some good peripheral vision
too. While 47 has no hand-to-hand combat moves, he can take out foes at
close range by slashing their
throats
in one quick motion, strangling them with his trusty fiber wire, or
knocking them out with chloroform–an uncharacteristically humane
addition to 47′s arsenal. Melee weapons ranging from a golf club to a
katana are also available, as well as a massive
variety
of real-world firearms. All manner of pistols, shotguns, submachine
guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles can be found and used, and as
you scavenge new weapons from your missions, you’ll find them lovingly
displayed as new additions to your
collection
back at your inconspicuous base out of Sicily. While you can then
select which weapons to bring with you on a new assignment, you can’t
just lug everything around. In particular, you can only carry a single
rifle at a time, and these bulky weapons can’t be concealed.
Concealment, of course, is critical to 47′s success. As in the first
Hitman, in the sequel you can relieve just about any killed (or
unconscious) male character of his clothing and drag prone bodies out of
sight. Donning disguises is handled as strangely as before, meaning one
moment you’ll be wearing your original outfit and then, moments after
selecting the “change clothes” command, you’re suddenly wearing a new
one as the old one appears neatly folded on the ground. In a game that’s
generally so believable, this aspect of Hitman 2 comes across as a bit
silly–but the fact that you don’t have to spend hours looking for a
victim who wears the same size of pants that 47 does certainly helps the
gameplay. At any rate, unlike in the original, in Hitman 2 there’s more
to concealment than just putting on a disguise and then having free
rein to walk among your enemies. When the 6-foot, pale-skinned 47 tries
to blend in with the locals in India, you’d best believe he’ll have to
do more than just put on a turban. Generally, you need to stay
relatively far away from most passersby if you want your disguise to
work, and you need to act casually.
Hitman 2 is exceptionally well done in most every way and represents a
major improvement over the original. A true multiplatform game, it
wasn’t developed for the lowest common denominator, but it instead
showcases the best of what the PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 have to
offer, as though the game were specifically designed for each. Clearly,
many of the design decisions made by IO Interactive were directly in
response to common criticisms leveled against the original, but these
improvements don’t come at the cost of a simpler or easier experience.
Even the most experienced gamers will find a serious, rewarding
challenge in the game’s highest difficulty mode, yet the well-rounded
design of Hitman 2 means just about anyone with a taste for the subject
matter, or just a stomach for it, will really like the game and its
distinctively cinematic style.
