Finally a game where you need to think before you shoot!
The setting is interesting and the plot is well developed, with actual reasons to kill the targets. Because of the limited amount of saves, it is often difficult to perform a perfect hit, which is why if you can still accomplish your missions without much stealth. However, the less people you kill, the greater the rank you get.
The graphics are okay, not too great but fine for this type of game. The music is excellent, adding much to the atmosphere. There is a nice variety to employ, but if you want to get the best rank, you'll learn to use only one of them.
In short, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the best of the series because of it offers a great combination of a shooter and a stealth game. If you need a change, Hitman won't deceive you.
