User Rating: 9.3 | Hitman 2: Silent Assassin XBOX
This is perhaps one of the best titles that was released in the middle of the gen wars, The storyline is good, and well done it leaves alot of mystery around "47" so he keeps that cool calculated killer image, The beauty of Hitman 2 is not just its what seems to be endless gameplay but the need to replay the levels to beat them with as much stealth as possible, In each level there are a number of ways you can get to your target, and most of these levels are large enough and well laid out that every route taken can yeild very different results. This flexability is what makes Hitman 2 such a great game, even in the first level of play there was at least six ways I could have taken out my target and each one of them makes the level playout very differently. This is one of the few games were I am thrilled the designers had the common sense not to add a two player mode or any sort of online support. The appeal of this game is that you are a lone gunman. It keeps that cool image because you have to do it all yourself and you have to be creative and change your plan on the fly. That makes for alot of fun it was to a point where me and a few friends simply passed the control pad around after dying to see who could complete the most "smooth" kill in a level that must have taken us 30 tried to finally beat but it was awesome and a great time. This is one of the few titles out there that I would recommend to anyone, its is out there on all three consoles, X-Box has the slight advantage because the levels load a touch faster and the surround sound support lets the player get a better idea of who is shooting at what. Although the other versions are excellent as well. -Z
