I just got Hitman 2 for the Xbox and I must say it is REALLY fun. Its extremely hard, but its alot of fun. The freedom on this game is on par with Dues Ex in choosing how you want to finish a mission. I would have gotten it for the computer because it surely controls better there, but the controls on the Xbox are pretty good. I got it for Xbox mainly so I could sit in my living room and play instead of at my desk.
Anyone who liked the first or liked Dues Ex should try this game. Lots of fun.
Does anyone know if they added in-mission saving to the PC version?
I heard they did. On Xbox you get 7 saves per mission. Its tought to figure out when to save when you haven’t gone thru the mission yet and you don’t know how far you have left to go.
The first mission is pretty tough IMHO. Especially for a 1st mission.
I have the xbox version myself. I typically would much rather play a game on PC but my comp is getting old. The controls are excellent though - the little addition of the left click aim sensitivity toggle is excellent. Im on the 14th mission and becoming slightly disenchanted with the trial and error aspect though I agree the freedom is amazing.
Ok, if your on the 14th mission then help me out here. On the 3rd mission, the one where you have to kill the 2 genereals that are meeting in the park, is there ANY way to get thru that mission without being detected? First time thru I just walked into the park in a soldiers uniform and blasted them both and ran. That was a crappy way to do it so I went back thru. I went thru the sewer and put a car bomb on the car that was parked over the sewer lid, which was the generals car, but there is no way to get the other bomb on the other car without being detected because it is surrounded by thugs.
So I went up into the cathedral tower and sniped the other guy, then when the general ran and left his car blew up. Cool they are dead, but then a whole swarm of soldiers rushes up the cathedral!
Is there anyway to get thru that one without being detected?
Watch the chauffer at the second limo. He’ll walk behind the building to take a piss, chloroform him, and take his suit. Once in the chauffer’s suit you can plant the bomb.
Damn, you have a strategy guide or something? How did you figure that out?
Make’s logical sense to me, but then I have been playing the NOLF2 demo lately, where all guards eventually need to go to the bathroom (and if you destroy the urinal they will curse and run outside to pee).
Isn’t that the same strategy done for Mission 2 of the original Hitman?
Chloroform?!? Non-fatal options? What is the world coming to?
Incidentally, what happens if you try to chloroform your targets?
