Overview
Step into the world of a cold-blooded killer for hire, hunting and stalking your prey in a deadly game of cat and mouse.
It�s completely up to you how to fulfill the contract. Be warned, some of your targets are heavily guarded, as well as completely paranoid. They�ll be expecting you.
PROS
The game is in a class all its own. With precise movements and smooth game play, this game sits on top of my �HIT� list (pun not really intended). Graphically, I see the best strategy/action game made thus far. Controls are very easy to manage, much like Max Payne. The game is open-ended, meaning, you are able to complete the missions YOUR way. Aggression or stealth, close quarters or distance, it�s totally up to you to determine how to take out the target. This is what makes this game very unique, and very good. Actually, it�s great. The visuals on the surrounding environments are lush and detailed. The FMVs are spectacular, and set the mood and tone for the upcoming missions perfectly. There is so much that this game offers, it�s literally almost impossible to list.
CONS
The only quo that I have regarding this game the slight change in the camera when you are against walls or buildings. The camera tends to be �sandwiched� between you (player) and the wall/building. The camera can be easily fixed with a quick touch of the directional button, so it�s not really a BIG issue that would �kill� the game,�ahem,�ahem,�DTR.
Overall
Hitman 2 S.A. is by far, the best action/strategy game I�ve played thus far. Game concept, storyline and game play are done extremely well. I congratulate EIDOS interactive for putting out a phenomenal game. Please be advised, the game IS rated MATURE, and not recommended for those under 12,..or 18. My Score: 10
