Trivia:

The date of the newspaper page shown at the end of each level uses what ever date is set for your system's time.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: After you complete the mission "Death On The Mississippi", if you read the news article closely the Word "March" is spelled incorrectly and is spelled "Smarch". This is a reference to the Simpsons episode "Treehouse of Horror IV" in which Homer states after looking at a miss-printed calender "Lousy Smarch weather".

Quotes:

[from trailer]
Alexander Leland Cayne: You think he's more than a man? I tell you, he is *less*. A virus. A pestilence. Whose existence we only notice by the death it leaves behind. He kills for money. It's that simple... that *grotesque*. He's due for a taste of his own medicine. And I'm the man who's gonna shove it down his throat!

A great game.....

This game can have mixed results among different people. Some can't figure things out for themselves after level one and give up after dying 40 times. This game is all about having a game plan and a good strategy. If you don't you'll just be playing a very hard shooting game. The game is very rewarding when you do everything perfect. You get such a satisfied feeling when you flawlessly complete your mission and see that "Silent Assassin" rating on the screen. The reason this is different from other Hit men games is that it has many new things. Populated areas(no more dark, guard ridden areas), New guns, weapon upgrade systems, and now it is easier to hide bodies. If you know what you are doing, this game is very fun. The only major flaw is the saving system. All in game saves are wiped when you leave or even restart the level by accident.(although, I usually beat each level and then saved, making it less of a problem to me.) Even though there are many guns in the game, a "silent assassin" will never need them for more than using them to grab a human shield to knock people out. If your a patient gamer with good wits, you'll love this game. If you're a "terrorist", you'll be infuriated by the games small health bar and over active AI. (One person busts you, and everyone knows.) Games like Metal Gear Solid solved problems like this years before by simply giving guards radios. The news paper is a very clever way to show how you did. It also lets you know how accurate you are. Do bad and your a "A shooter of limited skill, and dangerous enthusiasm." Do good and your a "Talented Marksman as few shots were wasted." This game is definitely worth while. A must buy. 10/10 And now for pros and cons and etc. Good: Very satisfying when done right, lots of problems from first games fixed. Bad: Small health slot, over active AI, and bad save system. Should have: added more sniping opportunities. They put four sniper rifles in the game and no high towers to shoot target from. :(
