I bought the boxed version of IGI2 back in 2003 and got just about halfway through when i found some other game that interested me and exchanged igi for that one... Now, 8 yeras later i bought it from GOG and played through it on hard mode during a long sick leave, and it just blew me away. Yes,it is clumsy at certain points and has a certain amount of repetition and the enemy get stuck in doorways every now and then, but that's about it. The AI is not stupid, just irrational at times. The enemy is not overly accurate and neither are you. The lack of detail in graphics is compensated by vast open landscapes and interesting level design. But most of all its fun. Picking out panicking guards one by one, taking out 2 or even 3 lined up with one single bullet or tossing a greande into a group of eight just to see them all lying dead afterwards is very rewarding. The story is just deep enough to keep you interested but the action never gets too realistic or serious. Plain arcade fun IMO. Made my sick leave.
