Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Stealth is once more the name of the game in Project IGI 2. It's set against the backdrop of Russia, Libya and China's underworld and you once again play David Jones chasing military secrets across eastern Europe.
Taking place over three linked campaigns, the individual missions progress in depth and skill to ease you slowly into the game. It has huge levels and plenty of bad guys that you'll have fight; you'll soon have your work cut out.
Graphics have progressed from those on the original, but not really in leaps and bounds and not in line with the rest of the games in this genre. Sounds however, now play a major role in how you play. Make too much noise and the bad guys come running, guns blazing.
What is new and most welcome is a multiplayer element, something that was sorely missed in the first game. The game supports up to 16 players online, but the advantage over the usual range of multiplayer games is the introduction of a cash system. If you want a weapon you'll have to pay for it and the more times you die the less cash you'll have available. This is a great tactical idea and makes you really think about respawning rather than, as usual, jumping back in and getting killed.
On its own, this game offers plenty to the stealth fan. Yet with the games market now well supplied with stealth titles you can't help but think that while the original was ahead of its time, this game is a just a tiny bit late for the party.
Yes, the levels are large and yes, the AI is very impressive--guards can hear you coming a mile off if you are charging around like a bull in a china shop--but it doesn't bring anything new to the genre. Unfortunately, in a genre that has been dominated by games such as Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid, anything new can't just be good, it has to be very impressive. Unfortunately Project IGI 2 is good but not special. –-Jason Denwood

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best. Game. Ever.,
This review is from: Project IGI 2: Covert Strike (Video Game)
This, in my opion, is the game of the year. I realise its only februrary, and there are lots more games due out this year (including Deus Ex2), but I really don't see how any of them are going to top this.Personally I disagreed with people who said the original lacked a save game feature. Fortunatly in adding a save game feature to IGI2 they have made it into an in game feature (you use your map computer to upload mission data to IGI hq). The number of times you can save varies by difficulty, and is represented in game by the battery power available on the map computer. Maybe the game is a little short (around 10 hours single player), but the multiplayer will certainly add many hours of game play. And the multiplayer is excellent, its every thing that counter-strike should have been. Each map contains a mission that one of the two sides (terrorist/IGI operatives) is trying to achive, whilst the other is trying to stop them. If you like action/stealth first person shooters, this is the game for you. Just remember, the most obvious route is not always the best :-)

Brilliant if you see it, then buy it,
This review is from: Project IGI 2: Covert Strike (Video Game)
I thought IGI 1 was good, but this totally blows it away. Same principle as 1 but a lot more realistic. Firstly you are not superhuman anymore, you can only carry, 1 main weapon, 1 pistol, 3 grenades and a knife and that is your lot. The single play game is difficult and needs a lot of brain power to tackle the situation but if you think your strategy through then you should win, but not the first time. Accuracies are realistic. You cant shoot as accurately standing up as you can lying down, and dont even bother when you are running. AI is a little strange though. If you hide in a bush (no matter the size of the bush your legs could be poking out of the back of the bush) then the enemy will walk right past you. keep your cool and pick your shots. The AI very quickly determines your firing position, so make each shot count, you dont want them to run around wounded and setting the alarms off.The multiplay is cool. Different to so many games I have played Overall the game is brilliant, buy it, this has been professionally put together, not thrown together, and the professionalism shines throughout.

60% good, 40% bad,
This review is from: Project IGI 2: Covert Strike (Video Game)
Arh, where should i start on this game, lets talk first about the weapons; i think the weapons and equipment are brilliant. from your silenced G-17 (GLOCK), to your LAW 60 rocket luncher, and there all realistic. I mean e.g if you shoot your M-16 more than 2-3 bullets you will spray. And graphic detail is good...but could be improved. Missions are kinda the same e.g sneaking into a factory and stealing a computer chip and some files. But not bad at all, in my view there short, but some are DAMM hard to complete. Detail on things like forests are brilliant, and weather afects from rain, to falling snow.Best weather afects i have ever seen on a FPS game, and i have played alot of FPS games. Now heres the downer...the AI IS SOOO STUPID.what i mean is you could be running and a guard hears you, then you stop and nothing else happens, i mean he doesnt look where you where running, or doesnt run and set the alarm off etc. And another thing is you put on your heat thermal goggles and run about, a guard hears you from behind a wall, he shouts out and you see him behind the wall, and he starts running in circles! Thats so stupid, AI is rubbish.Also i shot a detection camra near a guards command post, it go's bang and he didnt even flinch! just carryed out looking in one direction! Apart from AI the game is ok, hopefully if codemasters make a 3rd IGI, they need to improve greaty on AI. The guards need to be more aleart, and look out more. Another great thing in the game is the sound; in one word "brilliant" makes you feel like theres a guard behind you, or theres rain falling down outside. But to make the most out of IGI2, you need a good sound card, and a REALLY good graphics card. If you dont then the game will be terribley laggy and slow. And then you will kick yourself for buying the game! But overall - graphic detail good, sound exilent, gameplay great,AI lacking&poor. I would say not worth £30 quid, maybe lower. You like FPS, and steath, get this.
