"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.

You wait for the crazy Japanese levels, in particular the three after 'Tracking Hayamoto' (Silent Assasin rating for moi).

You nab a uniform, but they alwyas yell 'You b*stard!'. And try and kill you.

The final move on Shogun Showdown, before killing your target. Well, I haven't got a clue how to do that without resorting to my lovely SMG-SD6 or whatever its called.

Most annoying.

The whole Malaysian section is class.

I'm on the first Indian one, and it doesn't seem as good. Still, I only played on it for about 5 minutes.

By far the hardest mission to get Silent Assasin on was the one where you have to go into the Japanese Castle and eliminate the boss. I did it by rigging the Helicopter with a bomb and then you can set the alarm off on the 4th floor (if I remember correctly) he is escorted to the helicopter. Then you sneak up to his room on the top floor and watch him get in the helicopter. Wait until the helicopter reaches a set height and when you blow it up his body won't be found by the remaining guards on the ground floor.

Great fun figuring out how to get around the mission but once you get a set route its annoying every time you get discovered.

One other thing, don't worry about the last mission. There isn't a ratings system as you basically need to go all 'Jack Bauer' and go on a mass frenzy. Won't throw any spoilers in but I think you can figure out how it will go ;) Plays like the ending to Time Cop (the film with Van Damme) and you have complete access to every weapon you have unlocked in the game.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
