Hitman 2: Silent Assassin Demo

The Hitman series managed to turn a cold and ruthless assassin into a lovable character, even though he gets more creative with his murders with every new installment. It is, however, a very different type of game than the usual shooters out there, since it requires stealth and careful planning in order to complete the missions.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin presents itself as the second installment in the well-known franchise and it brings a wide array of improvements over the first title, as well as a new set of missions to put Agent 47 to the test once again. You can also enjoy a variety of new weapons you can play with, as well as many different ways of incapacitating or killing your targets.

To begin with, the character is betrayed by his friends and is being hunted down for retribution, which admittedly, is not too surprising in the career of a contract assassin. Soon, Agent 47 is back to doing what he does best, by taking missions all over the world and eliminating everything from gangsters, Russian diplomats and various other dangerous people that have too many enemies.

In order to better portray the character's agility and finesse, both the graphic and the physics engine have been improved, in order to increase the range of motions 47 is able to display on screen. The new post-processing effects and animations inspire more realism to the entire game, thus enabling you to get more invested into the action.

The sound has also been improved with a new score and exquisite voice acting, as well as more convincing gunshot sounds and a wide variety of other small adjustments that complete the experience. The gameplay mechanics have been refined even more, allowing you to take full control of your character and easily perform the desired actions in the game.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is an improvement in every way over its predecessor, while also taking the story further and leaving room for a follow-up episode. There may not be to many substantial modifications, overall, but the choice to stick with what worked before was a good choice in this case.
