Hitman 2 demo

[ixnay]

So the Hitman 2 demo came on the latest PCGamer cd. And let me say, it's great fun. It manages to improve on the original's graphics, interface, and gameplay. The demo gives you one level where you have to sneak into a villa and assassinate a don. You can run and gun your way through guards, but it's tougher and more satisfying to try and make it through without any collateral damage. I highly recommend you try this.

Link?

Well I just got it off the CD, so I'll look for a link here...

Oh, and I just beat it while getting the highest possible rank, "Silent Assassin". To get this you have to beat it w/out killing anyone (except the target), without getting noticed, and without firing a shot. Very cool.

Is the actual game out yet, or just the demo?

[ixnay]

Just the demo. The game is coming out later in the fall, I believe.

It sounds a lot like Thief 1 & 2, only in a modern setting. Yes??

That woulds be an accurate description, yes. But i only played the first Hitman, but from what i've read, Hitman 2 rewards the stealthier player now more then the rambo-type, which is a good thing IMO. So i'm definetely looking forward to it to come out.

Yeah, it's similar to Thief. You can go through and beat it fairly easily, guns-a-blazing, but I don't find it nearly as satisfying to get a rating of "Mass murderer" rather than "silent assassin".

From the site linked:

I took the Hitman 2 Demo down for now as the bandwidth it was eating up was insane, over 200Gigs in just the first 12 hours! There are now a bunch of mirrors but remember where they got it first, right here baby! I am in the process of getting a dedicated server so once that is all setup I will put it back up. Thanks!~
