Hitman 2 Silent Assassin

Hitman 2 features mission-based gameplay. On each level, the main character, known only as 47, is given a set of objectives to complete. Most levels require the assassination of one or more people. However, how missions are completed is up to the player, and there are almost always a variety of ways to complete missions. Instead of simply running and gunning through the mission, one can set traps, like poisoning a drink, to terminate the target in silence. Some missions have assassination possibilities unique to the level. Agent 47 has left behind his life as an assassin and retreated to a church in Sicily to seek peace. He works as a gardener for Father Vittorio, his best friend and mentor.

47 attends a confession to admit his sins, but Vittorio understands and believes 47 is decent at heart. Father Vittorio is kidnapped and a ransom note is left for 47. Silent Assassin received generally positive reviews from critics, who considered it to be an improvement over its predecessor in every respect.
