And if you do get noticed, when the guards start looking for a bald service worker (namely you), grab some guards' clothing and simply waltz your way out of the embassy without incident. You could initially take out a person working in the kitchen, steal his clothes, and just walk right up to the Generals and quietly strangle them. Or, you can try the sneaky approach and wait for guards to turn their back before crossing the hallway.
These factors alone contribute a great deal to the excellent open-ended style of play.įor example, if your objective is to take out two Generals in an embassy, you really could work your way through the entire building, shooting everything and everyone in sight. After you kill an enemy, not only can you take his weapon and drag him off to an obscure area of the map (so that guards don't find him), but you can then steal his clothes and use them to your advantage. The developers paid close attention to details, too. It's this somewhat open-ended gameplay that makes Hitman 2: Silent Assassin one of the best games I've ever played. Nearly every mission allows you to find your own style of play.

But you have free reign on how you approach each objective. True, you will eventually have to complete each objective in order to move on to the next level. What truly sets Silent Assassins apart from every other game on the market (including Metal Gear Solid 2) is the way you go about completing your missions. But using your cunning wit is as effective as busting into rooms, guns blazing. Sure, you'll see your fair share of blood splattered on the walls. But this isn't just another shoot 'em up. In Hitman 2, you take control of an assassin-for-hire who uses his stealth as much as his firepower to take out select targets in each of the levels presented to you (hence the title). Kudos to Eidos for finally creating a new franchise that doesn't involve a big-breasted English adventurer. Without a doubt, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is one of the best games released this year. Even more, you can actually darken things up a bit by shooting out lights, which can be used to your advantage. And you'll notice from the first time you pop in Silent Assassin that player models actually cast realistic shadows cast from lights within the environment. It's so great, in fact, that there isn't any loading time when switching levels (like when you pop into and out of the sewers). (Of course, to fully appreciate the game, you should probably just strap on your night vision goggles instead.) The player models and graphical textures may not be the best in the world, but the huge environments with multiple levels are equally as impressive as the music and sound fx. But the fact is that you may need to turn up the brightness on some monitors in order to see where you're going. Is this the effect that Eidos was going for? Possibly. The graphics of Hitman 2 are, unfortunately, a bit dark and dingy. It is present just enough to give you the feeling that you are playing a movie, and not a game. But what I find most impressive is the almost unnoticeable ambient background music. everything in the game makes just enough noise to bring you into the action, but doesn't distract from the feel of the game. Each step you take, each bullet you fire, each door you open.
The excellent voice acting in the game is capitalized by the little things that make this a near-perfect game. Albeit subtle, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin has actually got a vast amount of perfect sound.
