These people are going to far with the shooter games. They have enough already and there ending up to be exactly the same. Sure Eidos Interactive is a great maker for games but havent they made enough shooters for xbox????

Not a shooter

For anyone who has played the first Hitman they will know this game isn't a standard shooter. If you go in guns blazing it's over, the computer will always win. You have to use stealth and ingenuity. For example to sneak into a building you may have to eleminate an outside guard and steal his clothes to get in the door. The idea behind this game is to eliminate your target without having to eliminate everyone else.

For the intelligent.

This game as one of the other interviewers said, "Definately not a shooter." This game is for people who like to use their heads and think. I liked the first Hitman, but felt it was a little lacking. This version of Hitman looks like they cleaned up where they missed, the graphics look a whole hell of a lot better too. Stealth is what this game is about, and just like in real life, if you want to be a hitman you have to be unseen, quiet, and smart. Going in with guns blazing, you may drop some people but you'll also get dropped too.
So buy this game only if you like mental challenges. If you're a gun blazer you end up hating this game within about 5 minutes.

The funnest game since grand theft auto 3

Hitman 2 will require pacience puzzle solving and some really hard challenges to beat this game. you will have to beat every thing from mafia to high end rich people sitting in hottubs this game is all about stealth and figuring out the way each apponent in levels thinks and reacts to what you do. each level is almost like a tottally new game because the people you must assasinate all do different things appon what you do in the game. for instance in the mafia level you must kill the dean, while trying to do that if the dean gets too allarmed he will get guys with shotguns to gard him or even kill the hostage you must rescue. to get into the dean you must kill a amilman walk throu gates and kill a grocery man then do some other stealthy things from thair. you can go in guns blazing but i dought youll get farther than killing the dean. escaping you will die. i hope you enjoy this wonderfull game and please rate my review good please bye

Not just stealth - Choose your own adventure

The new version looks to be a greatly improved version of the last. As mentioned in other reviews there are better graphics and the game play has been significantly smoothed out. But I have read, in just about every review, that this game is to be played not as a Rambo shooter, but that you have to sneak around to take people out. But that is not entierly true. The beauty of this game is that you CAN play it as a shooter, and win, you can go in there and massacre every body, or you can play is safe and sneak in the back disquised as the delivery boy. You can take out your target with a sniper rifle from a safe distance, or you can get in close and strangle him to death with piano wire(so no one can hear him scream.) This game has a lot of potential, and just about every situation can be played in different ways. There isn't a right way, there is your way.

I just rented this game and have a couple of hours under my belt. I must say, for the small amount of fanfare this game has gotten in the gaming press (man, am I a nerd), I'm thoroughly impressed. By giving you a little more control over how to approach a mission, it really does seem more real than most other games. Granted, I've only played a little bit, but at this point, I would put this game on par with halo, max payne, and morrowind for quality. Unless the later stages really disappoint in comparison to what I've played so far, I think I can safely advise any FPS fan with an xbox to simply buy this without so much as a rental.

Not Happy

I just got Hitman 2. The game is a waste of money. Controls are difficult and at times frustrating. Camera keeps getting in the way. The graphics don't take advantage of the XBox hardware. I'd wait for Splinter Cell or buy Halo.

Unbelievable!!!

By far the best game for the mature XBox players. A little shaky at first with the handling. But once you have the hang of switching and holstering of your weapons, dragging your killed into unnoticable places, and switching your clothes with theirs, you will become addicted. This game teaches you skill of the business..

Best game on xbox since Halo

It took almost a year, but finally a new game has been added to the xbox library that can compare to Halo. If you played the first hitman and liked it, you will definatly like the follow up. Graphics are good, controls can be a little confusing, but easily mastered. Story so far is good. This game is more stealth than just killing anything that moves. Although you can win by doing that also. There is a rating system, of how stealthy you have been in a mission and an overall stealth ratio. All in all I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to play a game that could be a FPS or a sneaky hitman aiming for his prey.
