Agent 47 is ready to kill again. Are you

Hitman 2 is a story of perseverance. A game that doesn't have any right to exist, but thanks to a dedicated and passionate fan base and a developer that won't take defeat lying down, its legacy gets to live on and in spectacular fashion as well.

Plethora of content and replayability; Gorgeous and varied locations; Way to kill are extremely creative; Continued support and future content; Streamlined mechanics make for a smooth gameplay experience

Story is only there to set up missions and isn't entirely engaging; Performance hiccups

Hitman 2 is an utterly sublime improvement over the previous outing. It's everything we know and love about Hitman, but with less episodic misery. The time it takes to complete is entirely up to you, based on the way you play and how much time you spend on all the challenges and story missions.

A more complete release than the previous games; Hours of replayability; Polished design; Beautiful maps to explore; Plenty of humour to mask the murderous undertones

Lacks some of the flexibility of previous games on first play through; Storyline feels a bit contrived at times

In today's ruthless industry, few franchises get to enjoy the longevity that Hitman has. First releasing eighteen years ago, the series has gradually struggled to balance everything just right. The first two games are incredibly unforgiving. Blood Money was great, but too easy.

Buy Hitman 2 There are few franchises still in existence that tickle my nostalgia itch quite like the Hitman games. The series is so firmly rooted in exploring, exploiting and experimenting with its gameplay mechanics that even its shortcomings were an integral part of the experience.

Hitman 2 doesn't reinvent the garrote but instead delivers a killer, exceptionally fun yet familiar experience...

A few months after the release of Hitman ‘s final episode in 2016, publisher Square Enix unexpectedly dropped the IP , putting IO Interactive's plans for a sequel in serious doubt.

In the quiet of a Vermont suburb, the crowded slums of Mumbai, an Eyes Wide Shut -esque party for rich people (minus the sex), a race track in Miami, or a working class town in Colombia, you might see bald-headed Agent 47, with his signature barcode on the back of his head, skulking about.

With 2016's episodic experiment firmly in the rearview mirror, Agent 47 is back with another full itinerary of places to go and people to execute. While Hitman 2's globetrotting adventure suffers from the same shortcomings as its predecessor, the new locations and clever assassination opportunities...

After a 2017 split with Square Enix, the fate of the Hitman franchise was left in the air following a successful episodic first season of Hitman. As fate would have it, IO Interactive lived on with ownership of the Hitman franchise, resulting in Hitman 2 .

Lots of content; Great for beginners or veterans; Technically sound; Plenty of playstyles

Slightly inconsistent graphics; Overwhelming amount of options
