I.G.I. 2: Covert Strike

If you're not into the run in and kill everthing type of game, IGI 2 will allow a more sedate style of gameplay. With death coming very quickly it always reminds you that you can be hurt unlike some games today which concentrate on action at the expense of fear. Fear of being found, fear of being killed and fear of having to start a mission yet again. Whilst it is not perfect there is fun to be had and lots of it.

This game is about stealth.. It's really sad when people think this game is like MW3.. It's not about a front assault on killing 100000 people. It's about doing missions that are HARD. This game has no save points in the mission. So you either did it right all the way through or you did it OVER! Great series and great game

The first IGI was incredibly wide open for it's time--the environments were huge and there were generally multiple ways to accomplish each of your tasks. The shooter part was only decent and the enemy AI was questionable, but it was really fun. Unfortunately, the second game frequently leaves behind the wide-open areas (several sections take places in linear caves) and often has only one way to finish a task. It carried over all the weakness of the original, but left behind most of the strengths.

I loved this game back when it came out. Like its predecessor, Project I.G.I., I.G.I. 2 has you infiltrate large, open areas with limited but advanced weaponry and gear in order to accomplish missions of sabotage with the occasional evasion thrown in. It still has some of the same flaws as the first game, such as the dumb AI (a common occurrence in this genre) and deadeye enemies, but its biggest flaw is the newly introduced time limit in some of the missions. Planning your stealthy infiltration just doesn't work well with time constraints. Apart from that, I found I.G.I. 2 to be a good tactical shooter with survival elements.
