Magnifique!
Loving the new dark atmosphere, loving the new weapons, loving the game as a whole, fooking marvelous. The first mission carries on straight from the end on the first Hitman as you go back to the Asylum to kill all of your brothers and the man who started the cloning cycle. Anyone wanting to know the original story etc I would highly advice getting the original, even if it's for the fact that it remains a truly excellent game and it doesn't require a huge PC to run it.
Done 3 missions so far, the most interesting being the meat factory one, purely for the fact that the atmosphere and surroundings are so dark and gritty that it makes me wonder why PTA moms across America haven't put up more of a fight to get some of the stuff censored.
"Warning guard found a dead Wh**e", ho ho ho.
Liking the impreved character physics as well, the way he now holds the rifles is far more realistic and the ragdol physics have been muchly improved to remove some of the clipping issues from the previous two encounters. Another big bonus is the newly improved lighting effects and reflection effects that really help to add a smash of realism into the game. It is more satisfying than ever before to walk into a room with dual Hardballers taking out all the unsuspecting people, especially when you see their massive amounts of blood splattered all over the walls.
Once again though IO Interactive have surpassed themselves. The original was superb, the second added to that, then there was the excellent Freedom Fighters and now a sequel truly worthy of the Hitman name.
All that is left to say it... OXM close your bum cheeks ;)

Give it a chance, trust me.
The first area's very underwhelming but the game is a real masterpiece once you get past the initial, introductory and almost tutorialistic stages.

I bought Dues Ex 2 when it was released and I played it for about an hour, but since then I haven't touched it as I just can't seem to get into it. I'm actually thinking about doing a part exchange for Toca 2 this week.

I bought Dues Ex 2 when it was released and I played it for about an hour, but since then I haven't touched it as I just can't seem to get into it. I'm actually thinking about doing a part exchange for Toca 2 this week.
The bald loner-assassin is back better than ever. Excellent. I'll pick it up next week.
Fifty times!
You must be able to quote it word for word.

Ye I know what you mean, certain DVD's I can only watch when my parents are in the front room, namely Blade 2 which has a fantastic DTS track. Got my eye on a Bose 7.1 system which I hope to get in a few weeks time, it will add to my problems though as I am sure the neighbours can here it, I must have watched The Rock on DVD over 50 times in the last 6 months.

Haven't played it yet. Got the house free for the week so I've saved it for when I can link it up to the 5.1 system later today and play it properly.

Where? 7/10 isn't a crap score but as a game on the whole it deserves far more.
I do think OXM are crap just that others did give it crap scores.
Heh.
The shock bs**t for me was the daughter hanging from the roof ws**th the music playing in the background and the fat s*s**t in the butcher sus**t covered in blood just hs**tting her ws**th the meat cleaver. That was the part that made me see how far the series has come since the original.
THIS is how to make a game dark, grs**tty, highly violent yet excellent to play.
