HITMAN 2: SILENT ASSASSIN

If you liked Mafia or GTA, you'll like this too. The idea is different, though. In Mafia you drive around and finish whatever your boss tells you to, and that's it. Don't mistake me, Mafia was good. Anyway, as I said, it's different in Hitman, boss tells you to do what, you do it and you get ratings accordingly. If you get a Silent Assassin rating, you'll get bonuses. There are three bonuses, which are the Ballers SD, Sawn-Off Shotgun and the M4 Rifle. Be warned though, critics have blasted this game for making sikhs "killable objects" and all kinds of crap and the worst part is Eidos have agreed to modify the game and re-release it. So chances are you'll get the edited version if you buy it now. By the way, the storyline is also full of portholes, so if you're out for a good storyline, don't count on this game.
Anyway it's either you do it silently, mercilessly or kill everyone without getting spotted. But in the end, you'll be satisfied.

Pros: Good graphics, enjoyable soundtrack, gives you the feeling of being a professional hitman.
Cons: Buggy levels (major bugs), Hidden Valley, lack of actions such as climbing, jumping and stuff.

Rating: 4 out of 5
