Title: hitman 2: silent assassin
Post by: vudu on July 11, 2003, 09:13:32 AM
has anyone played this game for ngc? i've read reviews about it online, and most sites rank it in the mid-80's, but they all mention drops in framerate as being a big problem. does the framerate issue really detract from the enjoyment of the game, or are the sites being too critical (as they usually are in cases like these)?

i put some impression's in the thread i started about this game a while ago. i'm too lazy to type them again, so you'll have to look there.

No it doesn't. My friend bought it a week ago and we both enjoy it a lot. It can get pretty intense in some sections though. The cutscenes are awesome!

Yeah, I just read Gamespy's review...they gave it a 90/100...I may have to check it out once PGC gets a review out as well (Their reviews match my taste in games the most).

the game can get a little choppy in some sections but it doesnt happen that often and when it does it doesnt hamper the gameplay the game is great- like mgs with its stealth but you can play through the levels any way you want if you want stealth you got it, if you want guns blazing you got it thats the beauty of the game- i highly recommend it if you have yet to play through it

That sums it up nicely.
If you'd like to make the game a little more thought provoking, try to figure out how to kill the targets without killing and alerting anyone else and not killing innocents.

Loath though I am to dredge up a week-old thread, I'm curious to see some more opinions on this game (it is quite new, so I figure there might be some fresh impressions to be had). On the framerate issue in particular.
I bought the game recently and am thinking of bringing it back due to performance issues, specifically in outdoor areas. But, I'm currently immersed in a couple of other games (Splinter Cell, Metroid Prime), so I've only played a couple of missions. In both I noticed (sometimes ugly) slowdowns, but only occasionally. It wasn't enough to completely throw me off my game; it was enough, however, to make me wonder if all the missions have some issues.
So if there's anyone out there who has finished it (or at least played a majority of the missions) and could provide some guidance, it would be much appreciated.
