The first thing i want to say here is this game is not as good as the rating. before going any further i want to tell that I'm a huge fan of Hit-man series and have been waiting 8 years for this to come out and I'm not someone whose going to bash any game that I've never played before. There are few improvements in this sequel. Superb graphic, better AI, better animation, great dialogs through the game and few others that you may like during the game play. However with all these potential, the developer ruins the game with some major holes in the game. The most thing that I hate is the disguise system. Your disguise would be blown by anyone on the same outfit as your's whose standing miles away from you and you may even turn your head back from them while standing in a dark area. This is sheet. It's annoying that you'll blown your cover within 3 seconds you've been spotted. What makes this more ridiculous is that each time you step at the wrong place, you'll be spotted without any warning. Disguise doesn't seem to be part of the game plan anymore because you're more likely to be discovered every 10 seconds. The second thing that really disappointing is the level based game play. Most of the time, you'll be figuring out how to get from point A to point B, it's not Hit-man anymore, it's more like Splinter Cell. They also reduced the level size so at the level where your target is located, you doesn't have much option on how to kill your target. Blood Money offered more possible ways to kill your target than this garbage. There's no map or even mini map. You only have radar and instinct to plan your path. The weapons available in this game are much less compared to it's predecessors. The list of disappointment on this game is endless. If it's come out as a new title, than it's OK but to call this Hit-man, maybe NOT!
