Summary: Dark, Ambient, Moody
Comment: This soundtrack is masterfully written, reminiscent almost of Mahler with some interesting electronics and ambient styling mixed in. There are a few tracks that are weaker than others, mainly the Russian themes...but there's not a single track without something interesting to offer.

The inclusion of two tracks from the first game is well-conceived, and satisfying. It's nice to feel the thematic/emotional progression from the first, while still being able to clearly see that the strengths from the first soundtrack were all improved on and featured in different ways here. There's no lyrics other than in the first song, which sounds very appropriate and authentic.

Overall, a fantastic score that sucks you in from the first track. Individual tracks all have something interesting to offer, even if you've listened to the CD many times. This soundtrack is worth having in any collection; it's far better than many big-budget movies have been able to accomplish.

Summary: Awesome soundtrack
Comment: This is one of the best game soundtracks that I've ever heard. Each track is rich and beautifully dark.. in my opinion perfect for driving around at night. I usually don't enjoy music of this genre, but the darkness and dynamics of this album has placed it among my favorites. You don't need to be a fan of the game to appreciate this album, but it was my experience with the game that drew me to it.

Summary: Thought provoking Tracks
Comment: If you are in the mood to contemplate existential dilemma, then this CD will give you an ambience for contemplation. Some really unique compositions and the sounds have some inspiring qualities. If you are considering buying this CD, i would definitely suggest you do . . . a few of the tracks are ideal for thought . . .

Summary: Beautifully Dark
Comment: If you have ever wanted a CD that puts you into a relaxed and thoughtful state of mind this is it. While playing the game I was more attracted to the soundtrack than the game, not because the game was bad, but because this is bar none the best soundtrack I have ever heard. The rich layers of this music set a dark and ambient mood that over shadows the game itself, but remains within the context of the game. If you like something dark and unique but beautiful at the same time, then I highly recommend this album.

Summary: High quality orchestral score!
Comment: All the Hitman games have been scored wonderfully by Jesper Kyd.

I noted, when playing this game, that Kyd went for more of an ambient feeling vs. the more thematic material he seemed to favor in part two. He still makes excellent use of orchestral color whilst shooting for an even darker, more moodier setting.

This is certainly an excellent orchestral score, and very easily better than most movie scores these days, and should not be overlooked.
