Well, the thing is that you have to eliminate three targets in quick succession and as many of their bodyguards as possible, while they are at a party, surrounded by tens of witnesses, and you have to kill all three of them without arousing any suspicion or causing any panic. You're probably wondering what is the challenge then, since sniping someone from afar seems like child's play.
You finally play as an actual assassin wielding a sniper rifle at a safe distance. More so, they can be played in whichever order you please, but for story purposes, it is recommended that you finish them one after the other.Īpart from the main storyline is the new "Sniper Assassin" game mode, where you play as Number 47, only this time there is no more silent maneuvering through the premises.

One thing you should know is that missions will have to be downloaded separately as add-ons after you install the game. The locations look wonderful, and you'll be revisiting them with great pleasure whenever you are trying to replay any of the missions. Since you're an international secret operative, its no wonder that you will get to visit plenty of real-life locations, such as sunny Miami, the lush forests of Columbia, the overcrowded slums of Mumbai or the quiet suburbs of Whittleton Creek. More so, number 47's snide remarks to some of the NPC's (sometimes the target themselves) made me laugh more than once since he was literally telling them that they were about to get killed, and they never suspected a thing.īeautiful new locations from around the world I found it extremely amusing how NPC's are so oblivious to your so-called disguises, such as when you, a Caucasian blue-eyed bald man are mistaken for a Hispanic tattoo artist that normally has black curly locks. Some missions will even have you end up dressed as a pink flamingo mascot as you perform one of your kills, which gives the game a light-hearted feel to it. Part of the waiting and recon process is getting certain disguises so that you may gain access to areas unnoticed. In fact, following one simple rule will make going through the game as easy as pie: whenever you see a direct route towards your target, go the opposite way. Most missions will even blatantly leave weapons lying around in easy to access areas, just to remind you that your target is right in front of you, but you can't do anything about it due to circumstances. Those of you that didn't grow up with the first installments and have just started off with this game or the prequel, you should be warned that if you've never played stealth games before, you are going to die, a lot, and you'll feel the frustration building up, a lot of it.įull disclosure, if you're the type that loves FPS games and you decide on playing Hitman 2, then you better throw everything you know about the FPS genre right out the window, because there is no room for guns blazing in this title.
