i can't write a review since i havent receivd my game yet. i ordered it on the seventeenth and it is now 9 o'clock p.m. on the 21st. i thought this game was supposed to be 24 hour delivery. i am very angered over this because i could have ran to the store down the block and gotten it for the same price.

Rent the game first

I had heard a lot of great things about this game and was very tempted to buy it, but I decided to rent it first. I was right, the game isn't that great. The controls are ok, but the graphics are PS2 graphics. Hitman 2 has a good concept, but the gameplay itself is very poor. It's a first player perspective so if you're one to get dizzy playing first shooter games then this game is not for you. If you're looking for a good game you'd be better off with Splinter Cell. After playing Splinter Cell, no other games compare to it.

This game is well....

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????

Hitman 2 great graphics terriable game play.

Ok the graphics are amazing but the game play leaves something to be desired I just bought the game last week and want to save some people a few bucks. First off there is no multiplayer so why would they even make it for a pc? Make it for playstation or x box but dont make a computer game that isnt multiplayer. 2nd thing moving around is hard to get use to and even after you do get use to it you find it annoying. Even picking things up off the ground in this game is a pain. E and then using the arrow keys to select it? I mean most games u can grab it with your mouse and even move your character with your mouse like quake. I do believe this game is getting very good reviews on the sole fact that its graphics are awsome. But that is unfortunatly the only thing awsome about this stupid game. DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY its to story lined based and not much thought went into actually playing the game.

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.

"one player" option only

The description doesn't say it, but this game is only for one player only. I was really hoping there'd be a two-player mode. Oh, well.

Save your money, just rent it

Hitman 2 is an okay game. That sums it up. The innovation is OK, the controls are OK, the graphics are OK. It's just an average kind of game. A lot of people seem very hyped over the "thinking" aspect of the game. That is - you can't just go in shooting. That's partially true, although brute force remains very effective. (why else would you be armed with AK47's and submachine guns?)But stealthy games have been done before, and done better. In Hitman 2, it's usually pretty obvious what you need to do to accomplish a mission.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a good game. The enemy AI is pretty good - they know when you're in the wrong place wearing the wrong disguise. And for that matter, it's pretty cool to be able to change into any enemy's clothes to disguise yourself. So I encourage you to rent this game; it's fun for a while. But save your money. There'll be better games.

Hitman 2 for the Xbox is an action game that can be played in either 3rd person view or first person. You are an assassin with no name, your are just called "47". You'll run into mafioso, political and military characters. Using every type of weapon found in most FPS, your goal is to kill your target. The targets are usually heavily gaurded with bodyguards, and soldiers. Since you are outnumbered, it's better to be sneaky and that is where changing disguise comes in. You can kill a civilian or one of their own personel and change your clothes, to fool them, and get close to your target. Wait! There is one problem...you have a barcode printed in the back of your head! So you must walk backwards or sideways so noone can see your barcoded noggin (which blows your cover). Hitman 2 is tense, has good puzzles and the action is bloody and brutal. But the game is severly scripted, difficult, and hard to control, killing much of the replay value.

Pros:
+excellent puzzles
+excellent action
+excellent weapons
+excellent sound effects
+excellent music
+excellent voice-acting
+multiples paths to objectives
+3rd person or first person view

Cons:
-scripted gameplay
-gameplay not really free-form
-barcode on your freakin head
-overly complicated controls
-very slow paced
-PSONE looking graphics
-timed missions sucked
-single player only
-no replay value
