One of my all time favorites
IGI 2 is a game that I first played right after its launch and which I still have on my PC. The stealth shooting was loads of fun. The AI was dumb in some missions but that is something which I see in almost every other single player game. There are a lot of things which I liked about this game when I played it first. The use of weapons was tactical - I would use knife, pistol and rifle depending on the situation. I could also choose between the main path and alternate path in most of the missions. Same with the AI units, you could spray bullets or selectively shoot or sneak past them without engaging in a fight. The mission maps were nice although a couple of them were frustrating (Border Crossing & Air Strike maps - too big and sneaking slowly made it a drag). I liked some missions a lot - Deep in the mines can be completed without using any weapon, Zaleb's stronghold had shooting from helicopter and The Ancient temple had thermal vision sniping. Part of the fun was also timing AI movement to snipe multiple targets with the same bullet. In terms of the audio and graphics, I would say they are quite OK for a game from 2003. Game runs smooth, there are no FPS stutters, don't remember any major bugs. The only cases of pixelated graphics ( which I don't like) were in the cut scenes. Overall a pretty good game. I was surprised to find that it wasn't reviewed favorably by critics because I had never come across a player (those I know in real life) who didn't like it. It was amongst a few games ( Counter Strike, Unreal Tournament, Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2, Splinter Cell, No One Lives Forever 2, Hitman 2 Silent Assassin) that were unanimously popular in my friends group way back then. Not a bad set of games to be a part of IMHO.
