Hitman 2

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Hitman 2

I know its a far cry from FL but its a fairly satisfying (sp?) day or so of play. You get a rating after every level based on how stealthy/aggresive you were. Its easily completable within 10 hours on 'psycopath' or 'mass-murderer' but the real fun begins when you go back to the start and try and get 'Silent Assasin' on every level. Playing it like this means you are rarely allowed to kill anyone outside of your targets and very rarely allowed to fire a single shot. You've really got to think about what you're doing. Its very frustrating but eventually you find yourself in the bank (real world ) checking out the exits, guessing how many guards and trying to spot their patrol paths. Might sound crazy but it is sweet and even tho it gets a bit frustrating being rewarded with huge guns/rifles for not shooting a single bullet, all your hard work is repaid in the last level where you are allowed to run rampage with all the hardware you have accumulated

I only played the first part and enjoyed it immensely. I think I'll get H2 as soon as i buy a better PC

I don't have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down. No problem.

No matter how I tried though on stupidly hard I could never kill the other assassin sent after you waiting at the base of some stairs. You always have to wait until the level where you are set up.
Tried everything, from sneaky to jumping down the stairs and unloading into him with a machine gun.
Great game though, final level is a real treat, especially when you use the crossbow!!!!
But then I am cruel

The first part didn't quite impress me, but it was good enough to keep me busy...
The sequel will probably be better than the original...
But then again I look forward to Deus Ex 2 more than any other game (yes, including HL2)

I tried the demo but didn't really like the gameplay.
Never tried the full game.

I tried the demo, but when ever I start playing game freezes, well to tell the truth my whole computer freezes nothing is responding and only way to turn it of is if you pull the plug from the wall. I realy wanted to play the game and I tried many times but allways it is the same resolt. Anybody knows of an answer.

The demo (probably) includes DirectX 9.0a, which has an issue with unsigned graphics drivers... There are many solutions to this, but i think that you get the general idea of what to do...
On the other hand, you could've just downloaded it improperly (d/l error, you miss a few bytes -- poof!).
Let me know what happens.

Yeah, i had severe problems when i first installed. So i applied my usual (and very inelegant) solution of reinstalling windows (finally got hold of 2000) which sorted things out. Probably not very good advice but it worked
