Understand when to act quickly and when to take your time. The prepared are favoured by chance. There is no room for failure.

The stealth video game Hitman 2: Silent Assassin was created by IO Interactive and released by Eidos Interactive for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube.

It is the follow-up to Hitman: Codename 47 and the second game in the Hitman video game franchise. The single-player narrative follows Agent 47, a genetically enhanced human clone who served as an assassin for the International Contract Agency (ICA). Following the events of Codename 47, the former contract killer had retired and was leading a peaceful life at a church. However, when his sole friend, Reverend Emilio Vittorio, was taken hostage by unidentified intruders, 47 decided to resume his job for the ICA to find him.

Gameplay

The game's primary goal is to kill targets while attempting to stay hidden for as long as possible, whether by donning disguises, avoiding foes who might be suspicious, or using other strategies. The more action-oriented sections of Codename 47 have been eliminated in favour of missions solely focused on stealth, though players are allowed to select their preferred gameplay style. The first-person perspective option, the opportunity to disable foes rather than kill them, and objectives with various options are all introduced in this game.
