Another major addition in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the new rating system. In the first game, there weren't any real incentives to get players to take a stealthy approach during the missions, which basically went against the design philosophy. In Silent Assassin, players are rated after each mission according to how they've performed - the lesser kills and detections, the higher the rating. The challenge comes in approaching the main target without having any hoodlums seeing Agent 47 come in or out. Players who mastered this were given the honourable title "Silent Assassin", which locked up hidden weapons and tools. Players who just go on a mad gun-craze are often branded as "Mass Murderer".
Agent 47 is forced out of retirement and takes up contracts again in order to find the whereabouts of his captured friend.
Overview
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the second game in the Hitman franchise, in which players take the role of Agent 47 - a genetically engineered killing machine gone rogue. This game kicks off a while after the final showdown in Hitman: Codename 47, and Agent 47 has quit the assassin trade to work as a gardener in a Sicilian church. However, it doesn't take long until troublemakers stir things up and kidnap Agent 47's priest and mentor, Father Vittorio, which forces Agent 47 to return to his past.Gameplay
Gameplay-wise, there are many refinements in this sequel to the original game. The first obvious change is the control scheme, which has been fine-tuned for the third-person shooter perspective. IO Interactive also added an optional first-person perspective and a visual meter in order to give the player a basic outlook on the enemies' suspicion level, a feature that was further enhanced in later releases of the Hitman franchise.Another major addition in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin is the new rating system.
