Eidos´ stylish, strategic and almost puzzle-like Hitman 2 makes its console debut, managing to address many of the criticisms that haunted the PC original while still falling short of its potential. The premise sets up the player as a genetically modified hit man, forced out of retirement when things get a little personal. Each level then sets up an overall mission, broken down into sub-objectives, thankfully with a much-requested save-game feature included in case things get a little hairy. This isn´t your standard walk-and-shoot kind of game, though; Hitman 2 rewards planning, and lots of it. While there´s no fixed linear route through any of the levels, each will require a lot of thought to be defeated.
