    Each mission in Hitman 2 is a treasure trove of wonderful emergent gameplay, excellent satirical writing, and lashings of delicious, jet-black humour. The targets you'll hunt are almost universally rotters which thankfully takes care of any lingering moral quandaries you may have about their imminent demise. It's better that way. We really don't want to feel bad about tinkering with an old man's oxygen tank so it blows up and kills him when he sparks up a cigarette, do we?

    Hitman 2 is not leaps and bounds better or even different than its predecessor, as it feels less like a sequel and more like the second season. However, it manages to hit the mark where it truly matters with expansive level designs and a wealth of gameplay options that makes playing through the same missions multiple times consistently fun but feel different every time.

    Hitman 2 is the pinnacle of the series, offering fantastic gameplay and extremely replayable locations. As well as the additions of a co-op sniper mode, an online competitive mode, and new targets and items updated frequently makes this well worth the full price admission despite it sharing the same bones as the previous game. Hitman 2 is perfect for the causal and hardcore stealth player.

    All told, Hitman 2 is a heck of a treat for Hitman fans, offering the most refined mechanics, craziest antics, and most complex levels yet seen in the franchise. Each of the five core levels can be played for potentially a dozen or more hours, offering fantastic replayability for those who like to mess around with the Hitman formula. There’s an argument to be had that Hitman 2 plays it a little self, but when it’s so damned good, and unique, at what it does, you’ll hear little argument from me.

    Narrative qualms aside, Hitman 2 represents Agent 47 at his best. The game’s six stages are masterfully crafted sandboxes that will test your skills and your patience. And while the new features IO Interactive has introduced don’t quite reinvent the wheel, they certainly make the game all the more enjoyable. Add to this the inclusion of Hitman 2016 and the addicting new sniper mode and you have a package that will keep even the most seasoned contract killers busy for quite a while. Simply put, if you’re a fan of the series and eager for more sadistic thrills, Hitman 2 should be at the top of your hit list.

    Although the game lacks a better plot, it is not a bad title to play. It was really exhilarating and at times I really doubted I could pull off some of the more demanding missions. Let’s just hope that next sequel will do more on the plot so we could really have a contender for the Game of the Year at our hands.

    If you buy this game, I recommend getting Hitman 3 with the access pass instead so that you can play from Hitman 1-3. You can take the stealth or 'loud' approach when taking out your targets. When playing on PC/Laptop best not have any other programs running in the background since it could cause your system to overheat and crash.

    Having been a longtime fan of the Hitman Series, they have finally perfected the Hitman formula with this release. Playing the same levels numerous times has never been more fun! The narrative story finally comes into the centrepiece of the game (which lacked in the first instalment of this series) and got me hooked to see to the game till the end. Overall, highly satisfied and looking forward to more.
