"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.

What, eyes?

Guards always look at you for a bit and if you are slow, attack.

But they just run over and look, making it all the more annoying.

Although I have just done Shogun Showdown with a SA rating.

Muha.

Yeah, that was the level I was talking about but if you do it without killing anyone except the hacker, then it truly rules.

The malaysian level. Is that the one in the huge office block, with the firemen everywhere. I loved that mission. So many different ways to do it. My personal favourite involved slaughtering as many people with the axe as possible.

Just finished the first Malaysian level where you have to kill the hacker.

That's such a sodding excellent level. I just thought fook it and whipped out my SMG and shot all the guards in the lobby. So much fun chasing the stupid employees wielding a fire axe.

Some silly bint was squatting on the loo when I walked in, so I pulled out a kitchen knife and Freddy Kruegered the hoe.

Then I had fun picking up all the bodies and putting them on top of each other.

Excellent game.

If an area contains guards with similar uniforms then the chances are you need one of their uniforms to get around without being checked out.

The helicopter is right next to where the mission starts anyway so yu don't need it.

Yeah, don't your realise that they have a scanning system on their helmets? They look at you for a while which means they are scanning you.

You don't need to escape in the helicopter. I just went to where he was killed the ninja's and then used a katana to kill the boss. Then I went out the window with that lady person and went back to where I started and voila! mission completed.

If I remember correctly the bomb is in one of the rooms on the ground floor. If you go out by the Helicopter you can access the corridors surrounding it. You need a diguise but its in a room secured by a couple of guards playing cards. Its the only way I could find to get Silent Assasin rating as every other way just gets you invloved in a giant gun battle. Didn't kill anyone on that level apart from the main guy but it was definitley the most time consuming and difficult.

MUH?!

Damnit! I strolled up, and blasted him and jumped out the old window.

Now, I got the bomb remote.......but where is ze bomb?!

And you can't escape in the heli if you blow it up. Ah well.
