The character models had a lot of detail to them, but it was the world that they created which was really impressive. However, this was quite the looker for its time. I know looking back not it might seem strange to fawn all over the visuals of the game. The leap from the first game to Hitman 2 Silent Assassin is pretty huge in terms of the game’s visuals. It is great stuff indeed and it worked wonders at fleshing out the lore the first game created. Agent 47 wants to help his friend, but also find out who is doing this, why and more about his strange existence. This all goes to hell when his friend is kidnapped and held for ransom. Agent 47 is trying to live a quiet life and he wants to put his contract killing ways behind him. As I come from a religious background, I definitely feel that saying sorry to the Sikhs public isn't good enough.The game is a direct sequel to the first Hitman game. Eidos is trying to create wrong impressions to the public in general about what a temple really is. Gurdwara isn't a place that is seen as violent, or a fighting ground, but is seen as a place where people can find peace and protection from the outside world. "I think that it is a disgrace that these kind of things are allowed to happen. "The game seems to label Sikhs as terrorists, which is not true!" The events of 11 September were awful, but to start saying that any people supposed to be terrorists should be killed like they are in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, would be stooping to the suicide bombers' levels." "I'm not a Sikh but I still think the makers of Hitman 2 were wrong to direct thoughts that the Sikhs in the temple were terrorists. Have there been any complaints from Japanese, Russian or Italian people? I have played the game myself, and instead of encouraging you to kill people, it rewards you for not being violent and for finding a peaceful way to carry out your mission, which is to rescue your friend."
"I think it is wrong that the makers of the game should change the game just because it offends one group of people. They should stop selling it immediately! How dare EIDOS imply that we Sikhs are terrorists!"
"I am absolutely appalled after hearing about this game. People shouldn't be so easily offended by a computer game." "I think that it is disgraceful! Even though I am not a Sikh." If this game is not removed who knows were else other scenes could be set in a possible "Hitman 3" next it could be Mecca or Church or a Synagogue or a Mandir." Just because Sikhs feel offended doesn't mean that the game should be banned or redeveloped." You can't expect to go to India in the game and see Americans or Russians there. The game itself represents Russians as terrorists, so what, that's what makes the game realistic. "I think it's wrong to force makers of the game to change it! I am Russian and I didn't feel offended when I had to climb an Orthodox Church just to shoot a Russian general. If you never play or see it, it will never affect you" "To be honest, it is just a computer game if you don't like it, don't play it.
The game is not racially biased at all and if I remember rightly the game has an 18 certificate and explicit warning labels." "If anyone has actually played this game or the first version, they will know that you kill Chinese, Columbian, Dutch, German, not just Sikhs. it's called inciting religious hatred between people of different faiths, that's what it is." This sort of thing should not be tolerated. Imagine the Vatican, Wailing Wall or the Great Mosque in Mecca. "What would the Christian, Muslim or Jewish people say if one of their holiest sites was depicted as a terrorist hideout. They have also apologised to the Sikh community saying they didn't mean to cause offence.ĭo you think the makers should withdraw the game completely? The makers, Eidos, have now agreed to change the next edition of the game, remove pictures of the scenes from their website and take steps to correct the game where they can.
