The gameplay on offer in Hitman 2 Silent Assassin is a really slow burn. This was a game when I played back on the original Xbox, I had connected to my surround sound as the bullet and gun sounds packed a real punch to them. The sound design, in general, is awesome. Agent 47 sounds like a badass, but the whole game has some very stellar voice acting. This was a very impressive looking game for its time and to be fair, it does not look all that bad now either.Īs well as looking good, this game also sounds good too. From snow that actually looked like snow to rain bouncing off the floor. The character models had a lot of detail to them, but it was the world that they created which was really impressive. However, this was quite the looker for its time. I know looking back not it might seem strange to fawn all over the visuals of the game. The leap from the first game to Hitman 2 Silent Assassin is pretty huge in terms of the game’s visuals.

It is great stuff indeed and it worked wonders at fleshing out the lore the first game created. Agent 47 wants to help his friend, but also find out who is doing this, why and more about his strange existence. This all goes to hell when his friend is kidnapped and held for ransom.

Agent 47 is trying to live a quiet life and he wants to put his contract killing ways behind him. The game is a direct sequel to the first Hitman game.
