GameCube port of IO Interactive's seminal Hitman 2. Surprising freedom of approach, rich open levels and decent AI for the time. The pad feels a touch stiff after PC mouse, but the heart of the series brilliance is here.

Hitman 2 - Silent Assassin (GameCube) price, value & rarity
Hitman 2 Silent Assassin PAL is the European edition of IO Interactive's game via Eidos on GameCube with multilingual localisation. Collector value comes from the Hitman franchise's short window on GameCube and from this port remaining one of the only console versions of the entry available.
A questionable morality
The job is right there in the title: you carry out contracts, meaning people, in exchange for an envelope. Better still, the game rewards discretion, so you chase the top grade by killing cleanly, with no witnesses and no slip-ups. You slip into disguises like a conscientious pro, turning contract murder into a tidy exercise in style that is strangely satisfying.
Is Hitman 2 - Silent Assassin still worth playing in 2026?
A direct sequel to Codename 47, Hitman 2 refines the IO Interactive stealth formula with more generous missions and a Silent Assassin rating system that pushes toward perfection. Agent 47 travels the globe across varied contracts demanding patience and observation. The tank handling has aged, but the level design sensibility and the freedom of approach remain remarkable. For anyone who loves methodical stealth and meticulous planning, the title keeps all of its depth even today on the console for any patient player.
