Difficulty:
Very Hard
Time Spent:
10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:
"Total letdown"
I purchased this game with high hopes. They were quickly dashed. Moving around and aiming the gun, even after moving the sliders was a complete pain in the butt. I guess I'm used to games like Rainbow L.V., or Halo, where the controls are concise and very solid. Just trying to hit your target was like trying to use a snake as a gun. The controls wouldn't just stay still, and over compensated for the slightest flick of the stick.
Squirley comes to mind.

Next, AI. If you change into a guards clothing, somethings you walk in and do your business, others, you walk up, and bingo...you're dead.
Unpredictability can make a game fun, but there was no rhyme or reason to what would work, and what was a waste of your time. Do I run and gun, or try the stealthy approach. Neither worked well with any consistancy. In "Splinter Cell" you're stealth. This game just liked to screw with you at the least opportune time.
Many people liked this game. I really hated it.
For me, there was no way to get a feel for what plan of attack might get you in or out of trouble.
Between not being able to aim and fire without hitting a cloud, and dying every level cause the game couldn't make up it's mind on whether it was stealthy or not, I found it extremely frustrating, impossible have fun playing.

  5. Bargain-Bin gold? Hardly. Hitman 2 is a bloody mess of shooting and pretending that you're stealthy in the process.

    A tribute to Hitman series. Made with Blood Money and a few Contract games. Videos were recorded in gameplay and edited in Vegas.
