Hitman 2

Story: 7/10 Gameplay: 8.5/10

Great gameplay and AMAZING level design but as with HITMAN 2016 the story is so boring that's not even important.

This is my second game off of the Xbox One which I have played in 4K.

What can I say there is certainly more to do in Hitman 2 than previous instalments. I was actually wanting to play Hitman 3 but accidently got stuck with Hitman 2 through a misunderstanding.

More than a few missions. If you learn how to complete each one then return to it to play again you will increase what is called your "mastery" so you can also unlock achievements associated with that down the track.

You get taken in to what is like a Hitman game hub. You can download all the Hitman games for Xbox One.

As I said there is plenty to do you won't want to be playing the same mission once.

4K for now has flawless graphical quality so I do recommend buying a cheap 4K television with ultra HD (Asian brands you haven't heard of before) like I have to upgrade your gaming experience.

Do try it.

Don't be fooled by people who are quite skeptical of this title, or even give it negative reception. The game works good, the game controls good... but most of all, it feels good. Buy Hitman 2. You'll spend countless hours playing the huge amounts of content and it rarely ever gets boring. Remember to buy or redeem the Legacy Pack for max enjoyment, but the game is solid enough without it. This is the best Hitman game after Blood Money and i'm very excited with what IOI Interactive has in store for us in the future.

Hitman 2 is stealth video game developed by IO Interactive and published by Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment. It's the seventh entry in the Hitman franchise and the second out of three games of the current game series. This game has four main maps plus two free downloadable maps as well as expensive bonus material that offers many hours of entertainment.

On the positive side, the different maps offer numerous possibilities to execute targets and retrieve information. Players can use traditional weapons such as knives and pistols but may also use their environment to stage accidents or even put blame for their actions on other characters. The different maps have much replay value and are also quite diversified with my favourites being the small village in the jungle of Colombia and the narrow streets of the busy slums of Mumbai. The graphics of this game are very lively and realistic.

On the negative side, the main story has slow pace and never manages to take off and grab the players. Anyone who is looking for creativity, depth or surprises might end up feeling disappointed. The numerous cutscenes are boring and stiff. The soundtrack is repetitive and unspectacular. The fact that the physical edition of the game doesn't even include all the main maps is unacceptable and the elevated price for bonus content is exaggerated cutthroat capitalism at its worst.

As you can read, Hitman 2 is only interesting for avid fans of the franchise who like to explore different ways to complete the maps and the bonus content. Occasional and new fans might however find that this game has several lengths and lacks intensity. At the end of the day, the game is passable but one of the weakest entries in the franchise.

Hitman is at its best when it divorces itself from the on-screen violence and instead treats the experience like an absurdist playground. The sequel does this particularly well. Many of the game's more bare-bones completionist challenges, like killing your targets with a sniper rifle only or doing an entire mission in your signature suit without ever being seen, are aptly referred to as "the classics."
