Sequels always try to up the level of gameplay, sound and graphics and try to be different than their predecessors. Hitman: Silent Assassin also has undergone a major improvement in gameplay, especially with its new ranking system and excellent AI. But, there isn’t anything spectacular in the graphics department. Of course, you have a newly improved glacier engine that was used in Codename 47, but you won’t find any extreme changes in character models, be it the protagonist’s or NPCs. One major change in Hitman 2 Silent Assassin is the perspective. Yes, you can change the view mode to first-person from third-person—an aspect that was not present in Hitman: Codename 47. With this new feature, FPS players will certainly love to experience Hitman in a different perspective.
Just like Codename 47, the interiors and exteriors of buildings in Silent Assassin are spectacular. The detailed architectural design makes game play even more interesting. The cut-scenes in sequential missions gets you engrossed deep into the plot.
