Title
I don't tend to write positive reviews. I'm bad at it. But for this game, I will try my hardest, because it needs more attention.
Hitman 2 has six different levels, which can theoretically be played in any order. The story doesn't matter, and is better off skipped entirely. Diana's mission briefings are all you need.
Hawke's Bay excepted, Hitman 2's levels are huge open sandboxes for the player to explore and find every unique and interesting way to kill the targets. You're supposed to play each level multiple (and I mean MULTIPLE) times in order to find every nook and cranny, and the game did an amazing job of keeping me engaged through many, many plays of each level.

Let's talk about the second level, Miami. There are two targets, but I'm going to focus on the first, Sierra Knox, who is a racecar driver currently in the championship race. The race lasts twenty minutes after Agent 47 arrives. There are a few different assassinations 47 can perform that involve the winner's podium, but Sierra doesn't win the race by default. In order to perform these assassinations, 47 has to find a way to force Moses Lee to lose the race, for which there are several methods.
47 can also disguise himself as a member of Sierra's pit crew, and sabotage her car. Or he can disguise himself as rival racer Moses Lee and accept her challenge in a drinking game, where there are three ways to poison her. As always, there's lethal poison, and emetic poison so she'll throw up into a toilet, where 47 can drown her. But the drinking game involves lighting the drink on fire, so 47 can spike the drink with race fuel, causing Sierra to light herself on fire.
Hitman 2 provides many, many opportunities for unique assassinations. I didn't even get to all of Sierra's unique assassinations. Hitman 2 wants you to replay every level multiple times to increase your mastery rating for that level, and to that end, it provides you with enough content to justify playing the level even beyond getting to max mastery.

It's not all sunshine and roses, however. The final level, the Isle of Sgail, left me with absolutely zero desire to replay it. The targets are just uninteresting. It's nowhere near as bad as Colorado from Hitman 2016, but that's not much of an accomplishment.
Every Hitman 2016 level can be played in Hitman 2, which greatly extends the game's already huge lifespan.
This is a game everyone needs to try. My definition of a 5/5 is a game that I can replay over and over and over, fulfilling its primary purpose as a piece of entertainment. I've already done that with this game, despite only having it for a month.

    I need to buy this full game, I got the demo free on xbox, and it's fucking fantastic. The shooting and graphics are better than hitman 3 imo.

      This game is cartoonishly vibrant compared to the rest of the series, every level pops with color

      It does it’s job at providing a climatic challenge, that’s for sure.

      Setting the one Washington sister on fire ‘Wicker Man’ style felt great. As did schmoozing the Constant into letting me into the tower where the other sister was held up. Was there a lot of trial and error involved in all that? Yah but hoooo mama it felt good to execute.

      Its one of the best levels in the series, the level design is very good.

    Isle of Sgail is amazing, I still can’t get over how good Miami is though. It’s by far and away the most ambitious and biggest Hitman level and the best sandbox in terms of all the stories and npcs.

    It’s basically a full game on its own. You could probably spend 30+ hours in that level and still not see everything

    Definitely think this is the most ambitious and replayable Hitman game

      Party Hard, Death to Spies, The Ship (if you manage to get a multiplayer lobby for it), 2009's Saboteur has slight Hitman mechanics, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 1-2 tries to aim at this sandbox formula. Maybe you will also like Heat Signature. Can also recommend Clandestine since it's got slight social engineering elements, but it's clunky and aimed more at OG Splinter Cell, spy stealth infiltration fans.
