8/10
Hmm.. Upgrades.

I don't like those 3 fingers racing-shooting PC games but when it comes to Hit-man it is different. It's not a fighting game, it's a Thinking man Action game. I firstly know about this game a few years back from a Magazine CD presented as demo. From then I became a die hard fan of this game. The way the producers treated this game, so human, so accurate, any one who likes to be in their dark side truly like this title.

The sequel to IO Interactive's PC action game Hit-man. The original game, which cast you as a genetically enhanced assassin, received equal shares of praise and derision. Fans loved its gritty tone, ultra sharp aesthetics and tense pace. Critics cited unresponsive controls, an awkward camera system, and vague mission objectives as the causes for its downfall. Needless to say, IO has pledged to address all of these issues in this sequel.

Hit-man 2 (Spoilers******)

On Sept 5th 1964: Series 4, clone 47 has been successfully taken out of his incubation chamber. When the Preliminary medical examination suggests a completely flawless clone, he has been given the number 640509-040147, which as per standard procedure, has been tattooed to the back of his head. On July 8th 1993: Clone 47 was successfully completed all his training courses that make his creators to go for a master plan. But he escapes from them and began to live for himself; His new life as a Hit-man.

That was the past, this time he tired out of his living, now seeking for the salvation. He retires from the business, and leading a peaceful life. But things went wrong when his best friend was kidnapped by some Mafia, making him to take his dropped Weapons.

Scripted by Morten Iversen, Hit-man 2: Silent Assassin gives a new life to the early project. With the voice talent of David Bateson as the Hit-man Agent 47, Eidos brings a good grip to the cult saga. The soul of Hit-man provided by Jesper Kyd smashed this time also. Those choruses dominate every aspect in the game.

The greatest thing I like in Hit-man games was its weapons/equipment portion. It was well accurate, well placed; in this second run it just increased its facilities. I just like that! Even though it has some drew backs I give this title 8 out of 10.

Hit-man 2.nd = 2.nd life's 2.nd Turn.
