You’ll come away from Hitman 2 with plenty of memorable gameplay moments. Some other great moments from my adventures with 47: I stacked a good eight or nine bodies in a suburban backyard bush, poisoned a fumigation machine, sadistically triggered a killswitch connected to a nano-bomb in someone’s neck, yanked a guy off of a cliff’s edge while hanging from said ledge a la Sam Fisher, strangled a slumlord with a measuring tape while posing as a tailor fitting her for a dress, stabbed an octogenarian Russian spy in the neck as he reached for his pack of cigarettes after meticulously dispatching of over a dozen of his guards to finally get to him, and.well, I could go on, but you get the point. For better and for worse, playing Hitman 2 is like building a house of cards: glorious when it’s finished, but one wrong move or breath sends the whole thing tumbling down. But it took a hell of a lot to get myself in that position to gloriously, violently succeed: I had to steal a ceremonial dagger, which required infiltration, which required multiple disguises, which required studying people’s routes and behaviors, and on and on. I really enjoyed these playable novellas, and some of them are even time-limited: if you don’t trigger them quickly enough, the moment of opportunity passes and they expire.Ī highlight was when I impersonated the corpse in a cult’s funeral ritual and then sat up and stabbed my target in the neck as she paid her last respects. Side stories tell little tales within the framework of the larger story.if you overhear their details. There’s always a ton of room for experimentation because it is genuinely impossible to see and do everything a mission offers in one playthrough. It’s there if explosions are your thing, though. As far as Agent 47’s other new tools go, I never felt the desire to use the fragmentation grenades or mines, probably because loud Hitman is not my personal brand of Hitman. I preferred to use the good old-fashioned fiber wire for that, because doing so automatically transitions you straight to dragging the body, saving you a step and precious time as you look to hide the corpse. There’s a dart gun that can be used to knock out targets at mid-range, which does make things a little more convenient, but my favorite are coins that can be used to distract or (more often in my case) lure a bad guy to where you want them to go so that you can take them out quietly, away from prying eyes.

And I mean exactly as full – there are only a handful of new weapons, and none of them are game-changers. “Hitman 2’s sandboxes are as full of gadgets and disguises as ever.
