Stylish Game that's Fun and Short, Perfect for a Weekend

User Rating: 8.5 | Hitman 2: Silent Assassin PS2

This is a great stealth-style game designed for a gamer that doesn't have an abundance of time. This was a quick game, but the learning curve was a little steep if you aren't familiar with this style of game. After a few missions, it became much, much easier.

The best thing about this game was the environments continued to evolve, in a way, as you made your way through the game. The story was a little weak at times, but the ending more than made up for what seemed to be pointless assassination attempts.

Looking back, I think this was, in a lot of ways, the perfect predecessor to the now popular Assassin's Creed games.

The environment appears to be fully interactive, but in actuality, it isn't really. You are tasked with one activity and you will fail your mission if you deviate from it. Overall, it was still a visually stunning game with a very enjoyable game play, but I don't know that I would ever feel compelled to play any of its sequels.
