"Hitman 2"

I picked this up from an 'Indy' today.

Excellent game. Aren't quite feeling what NGC seemed to like about it quite yet, but it is pretty good fun, and also techinicly sublime.

Done the first level (gaem involves A LOT of patience) and got a proffessional rating, after my first try of 'Gun for hire' as I massacred all and sundry.

I reccommend. Now on St. Petersburg, and it looks lurvly.

The first game was like a hideously deformed tard.

I got to a mission where i had to kill this boss guy (who was toting 2 heavy machine guns) and then sneak into an underground bunker. No matter how hard i tried the guards always knew i was an intruder and shot me dead.

It was frustration city. The sequel was much better.

I enjoyed the levels first time around whilst I collected the weapons available. However when it came down to the Silent Assassin ratings the fun was some what removed a little. I enjoyed searching for a route to go down but sometimes I had to sit back and just put the controller down to think about how to do a mission. I used to think even when the game was turned off about which way I could go extra and not many games have me thinking in that way.

It was definitley one of my favourite games last year but once I had collected all the weapons and got SA rating on every mission I sold it on EBay for £25. It took me a few weeks to collect everything and enjoy the game but after that there wasn't much in the way of replay value as I had basically exhausted every possible way in and way out of each mission.

Highly enjoyable game though and for those who haven't played the first (very under rated game) will enjoy what was on offer. The first doesn't have any ratings systems and it can be busted within a days play. Its still got some very nice and well executed ideas though and you get to find out how everything started.

I just hope that they gone onto confirm a 3rd installment!

Yeah, the Jap levels are snowey and full of ninjas.

You get to dress up with as a ninja and take fools down with a katana blade, mucho fun.

That's that Japanase level, not sure how on earth you get Silent Assasin on it.

They see you in the back of the lorry at one of the checkpoints and if you get out they also see you.

I like to shoot my load in the Japenease guy from behind, that way they don't realise that I'm fully loaded so I get a good spray off before they even notice I'm coming.

I think it is a few levels before sneaking into the castle.

I will have to re-install and complete it one day.

Ah. The 4th one has a truck you have to get into. And it has snow too. It's in St. Petersburg.

There's more snow-based stuff than this? YeY!

No, its further in. The level has snow in it.

That's the 4th level, isn't it? Where you then have to enter a base full of the fools, and kill them all? (Well, I did).

Theres a level where you have to get passed a security checkpoint in a truck, but the truck drives over one of the guards and his head appears inside the truck getting you discovered.

So i shot my load in his face
