Hitman 2 Review: 5 Ups & 5 Downs

1. The Strong Replay Value

Hitman 2

If you know what you're doing - or if you just go full Rambo with an automatic weapon - you can probably breeze through the six missions in 5 or 6 hours, but you'd be doing yourself a ridiculous disservice to stop there.

The sheer variety and number of configurations a mission can go through ensures you'll want to play each mission at least 2 or 3 times if not many more.

Considering that re-playing a mission will further boost your XP, allow you to change up your loadout and start the mission from new unlockable areas, even just the core game has strong replay value for sure.

It's easy to see obsessive players getting 50+ hours out of the core campaign alone, while even casuals will probably find themselves hooked for at least 15-20. The Mission Stories in particular make coming back again and again an easy proposition, compensating for the rather spare number of missions available themselves.

What do you think of Hitman 2 so far? Shout it out in the comments!
