Hands-On: Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Codename 47 is back, and this time he?s sneaking onto consoles with an arsenal of weapons and other tools of death.
In this sequel to the PC-only Hitman: Codename 47, you?ll take the role of 47 himself as he is called back into action from exile to an Italian monastery. If you thought the bald-headed badass was slick before, this time he?ll have tons of real-world weapons, like the Beretta 92 9mm and the Heckler & Koch MP5, and techniques, such as poison and garrotes, to take out his target. The preview version showed the ability to stash weapons in hiding places, drag fallen enemies to concealed locations, and don the uniforms of guards and other workers to pass through places undetected.
Hitman?s graphics in the early build looked nice, but it appears that there?s still some polish left to apply. The controls also felt unintuitive and odd. If Io can tighten those things up, the company should have a hit on its hands.
