Rate this game: | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There Is a fine line between a first-person shooter that professes khổng lồ require some stealthy involvement on the part of the player, and a first-person shooter that is simply way too hard lớn complete without spending most of it hightailing away from the enemy. The original Project IGI straddled that line effortlessly & though it was by way of its own marketing the PC"s first "thinker shooter", it was also a bloody hard game. Despite this, it is credited as being one of the PC"s first stealth/action games, which is as meaningless as it is inaccurate. Nonetheless, the sequel is here and you will forgive me if I don"t start cartwheeling naked about the place and whooping with joy (Forgive you? I’d rather you avoided doing so at all costs -Ed), but I"m not particularly impressed with it. ![]() ![]() Going InFor those who missed the pioneering original, IGI2 sees the return of Dave sầu Jones, an ex-SAS special forces operative sầu who likes nothing better than lớn infiltrate terrorist bases on behalf of the Institute for Geotactical Intelligence (& you thought IGI meant something else). In this particular adventure Jones is chasing stolen computer chips across the world, a journey that begins in Russia & ends in Trung Quốc, via Libya, some 19 rather large missions later. As in the first game, you work alone, which seeing as you"re far from superhuman, requires you to remain undetected for as long as possible. Your most important bit of kit is the trusty Map Computer, which though unable to point out security cameras, is very capable at highlighting where the enemy patrols are. As well as binoculars, you have infrared goggles, which turn the enemy inlớn bright yellow mannequins - và of course a healthy spread of weapons. Tinky WinkygrrrTechnically speaking. IGI 2 is. as you would expect, quite a significant improvement on 2000’s Project IGI, và since I very much enjoyed the original game - despite its many shortcomings, you may think it strange that IGI 2 leaves me somewhat cold. The Al is markedly improved, the levels more varied in that they include North African settings as well as the relative sầu drabness of Eastern Europe, the arsenal of weapons has of course been extended and there is even a full multiplayer mode where before there was none. You can even -get this - save sầu the game during a mission. In fact, you could say developer Innerloop has very nearly fixed everything that was wrong with the original game.

Again the graphics are most impressive when you st& atop a hill looking down into an enemy base & beyond, yet as in the original, the interiors are drab và empty. The characters, though considerably smarter than they were in the first game (which was pretty smart), are about as convincing in their movements as the cast of Thunderbirds. So, What’s The Problem?Since the original game, which was undoubtedly a breath of fresh air when it first arrived, many titles have sầu furthered the concept of an action-based game where thought và careful planning are as important as firepower & itchy trigger fingers. With the exception of perhaps Soldier Of Fortune II, whose stealth-based missions are a bit of a cop-out, IGI 2 just feels like it has been left behind, not least by the recent camp spy sequel No One Lives Forever 2, a game far more sophisticated when it comes khổng lồ sneaking around. Plus, you can climb through windows & hide dead bodies - prerequisite skills that IGI"s returning anh hùng has great difficulty with. Perhaps the developers have been looking so hard at their own game that they failed to notice the competition creep up behind them. For as much as IGI 2 is a sequel, it also at times seems little more than an nâng cấp. ![]() ![]() ![]() Overt Counter-StrikeIgi Gets A Multiplayer Game At Last IGI 2 doesn’t vị indoors well, but its outdoor settings are well suited to online play, with hilltop bases overlooking deep river valleys. It looks wonderful. Of course being what you might Call a sneak ’em up, there are many places lớn hide - too many in fact, making IGI 2 a pretty dull multiplayer game for action fans. The multiplayer mode closely mirrors the Counter-Strike template, with two sides either defending or attacking a series of mission objectives. Considering the variety of the terrain, the game manages to keep up with the online traffic rather well. The problem is there"s nothing here that hasn"t been done before. Quite frankly, we"d have much preferred a co-operative option for the single-player campaign. |
