Hitman 2

What Hitman failed to do with its release, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin tries to fix with an incredibly fast-paced and aggressive action game. There's no mistaking what Hitman 2 is all about. Players take on the character of a contract killer and progress through some extremely difficult challenges to beat the game. It's violent. It's scary, and oftentimes, it's extremely bloody.

Players play as 47 who is working as a hired gun, but who is hiding out as a gardener for a church ministry. The fun starts with the minister is kidnapped, and 47 must put on his black suit and suit up with an arsenal of all kinds of close-range weapons and firearms. He also has to call up his former contacts and start locating who would take such a kindly old priest. The story unfolds vividly and provides incredibly graphics while also using a 3D engine built into the game. The experience is realistic and quite possibly the best action for any single player like it.

There are 20 missions that players have to complete. Players must go through missions one after the other. While every mission has a different purpose, they each have scaling difficult. However, they all share kind of the same mission. Player 47 has to get in, kill a target and then get out unharmed. While there are multiple ways to get to an objective, most missions have different solutions that may also test your bravery or cleverness or downright vileness. The game encourages players to use stealth and to not always use brute force, which adds a certain element of difficult in its own right and a ton of suspense.

Hitman 2 is an incredibly well done game that satisfies players' needs for blood, gore and difficult gameplay all in one while also improving greatly upon the original Hitman.
