Hitman 2: Silent Assassin follows Agent 47, who has left his former life to work as a gardener at a church in Sicily. When the priest who sheltered him is kidnapped, 47 goes back to contract killing to get him back. The missions take him to locations such as Sicily, St. Petersburg, Japan, Malaysia and India, where he must take out targets in whatever way he chooses.
Released in 2002, it is a single-player stealth action game where disguises, careful planning and patience pay off more than direct fighting. You can complete missions quietly or loudly, but quieter approaches earn better ratings. It suits players who enjoy classic stealth and want to see an early high point of the series.
