Eidos stylish strategic and almost puzzlelike Hitman 2 makes its console debut managing to address many of the criticisms that haunted the PC original while still falling short of its potential. The premise sets up the player as a genetically modified hit man forced out of retirement when things get a little personal. Each level then sets up an overall mission broken down into subobjectives thankfully with a muchrequested savegame feature included in case things get a little hairy. This isnt your standard walkandshoot kind of game though Hitman 2 rewards planning and lots of it. While theres no fixed linear route through any of the levels each will require a lot of thought to be defeated. What limits the games potential though is the continual stream of frustrations. The enemys artificial intelligence for instance is sometimes very sadly lacking and there are occasions when the pace drops to snaillike speed without always generating sufficient tension to carry the player through. That said when it hits top gear Hitman 2 can be tense atmospheric and enjoyable. Graphically its very polished and those who enjoy games that reward solid thinking more than an itchy trigger finger will certainly find something to enjoy. But while undoubtedly a step forward from its predecessor its an ambitious game that still falls short of what could have been. Put simply its good its challenging but it still leaves quite a lot of room for improvement. Jon Foster This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
