This thread has been linked to the game '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.

*Get away with running
Not that I know of.
Sometimes you can run if you're far enough away from guards.

Ok, on the PS2 version he walked VERY slow, is it possible to like stealth run sort of thing like on Splinter Cell?
Oh yeah. Can you get an SA rating whilst using saves?

I've been trying to do the first mission *Doesn't give any detailed spoilers* and it is insanely difficult to get an SA rating. I really like the way you can play missions with weapons unlocked on other missions, this further reminds me of goldeneye: which is no bad thing.

The German Embassy level was great for this - completed it first time. I just went on a spree and the other agent just happened to escape the way I was coming in! Left of lot of posh people dead I did.
Easiest level is the 'planting the bug' on the Yakuza guy. Ended up being a quick in and out blast fest, I need to try it again with a more stealthy approach.
Oh something else to try: hone your sniping skills my trying to shoot the pigeons out of the sky at the church/cathedral.

It's hard if you want Silent Assassin rating all the time (being stealthy and all) and very frustrating at times - but VERY much more rewarding.
But you can shoot the feck out of everything pretty easily, so if a level's really annoying you - just go on a killing spree and get onto the next level.

Lol, the game kind of defeats itself. Well, if you saw a big 6ft bald man, with a barcode tatoo'd on the back of his head, wouldn't you be suspisious?
Like I care, this game is mine.. soon :o)
How hard is it to complete by the way?

Hmm. A bald, 6ft 'French maid'.
Odd you be.
The physics do rock. The Ballers SD make it so much better.....

Dropping people down man-holes in just as fun.
You just drag them over it then let go - they fold in half and drop. 'Tis much fun.
The only drawback of the game is that you can't take women's clothes. It really sucks - I wanted to be a maid.

Yeah I noticed that when I rented it, I love just blasting people right up to the wall! Hehe. I can't wait until this arrives!
