My review of Hitman applies to this game as well so I will just mention some of the differences.

Hitman 2 continues on the awful cliffhanger from the first and gives more information about the true enemy of Agent 47, and perhaps the world. The narrative and writing in general continue to be well made, and so is the amount of detail to things, sadly the game still does not have a resolution so we are left waiting for another game.

The quality of life improvements over the original are many but the gameplay remains the exact same, although this is not a bad thing. The game added two modes and multiplayer, with one being a co-op sniping minigame and the other a competitive ghost time trial of sorts. The sniping mini-game is... not my thing, I think its a bit of a waste of time for them to develop those instead of focusing on full fledged missions but I am sure many would appreciate it. Havent tried the ghost mode yet.

The levels in Hitman 2 are still on the same scope of the first. Although my favorite is on it, in general I prefer the maps of the predecessor a bit more. While they are all well made, I felt more motivated to replay the ones in the first game.

Hitman 2 does not disappoint but does not leap forward either. But considering the original is great and this is on the same league, its still very much worth playing!
