I thought I had played it before, then I realized that was the first game, and I'm amazed this is a "Followup to a very successful game", because I remember it being terrible.
Basically what we're talking about here are Hitman clones...from hell. I'm pretty sure the developers are sadists laughing with glee.
You're a spy for the Soviets in WWII and you're put in all kinds of stealth spy missions behind enemy (German) lines. You cannot be further removed from run and gun if you try. Easy setting all the way to even have a chance in hell. You have to THINK. You have to plot. You have to be VERY patient and VERY quiet.
I find that most of the time I see people trashing these games those people tend to be the kind that have no patience at all and want to run and gun through everything and they also tend to have just not tried it for very long.
That's the exact LAST thing you can do in these games.
If you like Hitman games, Splinter Cell games, or the Commando series you'll be eating these two games up. You could arguably even run and gun in the Hitman games a little bit more than you can do in these.
I happen to love this series, lumps and all. Far from perfect to be sure but still a good package overall especially at the asking prices south of $30 a pop.
Stealth, patience, planning with virtually identical Hitman Blood Money gameplay and graphics...you'll have a good time. The first game is $20 and this new one is $27. You really could do a LOT worse with a lot more money all too easily IMO.
I bought Moment of Truth the first day it came out with excitement and I haven't been disappointed. I hope these guys make a third game some day and keep this series going, especially if it's going to keep taking forever for us to get new Hitman games.
