So this is a terrific game. Brutally challenging. Playged Project IGI and IGI2: Covert Strike when it released. Still have the original DVDs. However an issue with the game is the punishing difficulty and also the very poor pixel perfect precision controls. While your ammo is limited, enemies have unlimited ammo and are super precise from even 2miles away. Also when you try to hit them you have to be super precise because your reticule needs to be pixel perfect especially at larger distances but they have 0 issues flaying you in few shots. Part of the draw of this game is that. It sets its rules and abides by it. But this is exactly like Demon Souls and Dark Souls that people love. Rules are set and game is punishing in that zone. So when you finally complete a level, you get a super sense of achievement. On Windows 10 the game is choppy honestly. You get frame stutters to the point where you're about to move your gun to shoot but the game lags and then your weapon is away and you fire wrong and they now know you're there and you're dead. So you have to wait for the choppiness and time it. This makes it a bit frustrating but overall the game is amazing. I had hoped they'd keep making IGI3, 4 etc. but we got the wrong games with Call of Duty and Battlefield type twitchy games which are not satisfying at all. Bring back IGI sequels.
Now, this is one fantastic game I'd never heard about before. Bought it for $30 on a whim from GOG sale and man! I was blown away by the narration, story line, acting/voiceover, gameplay and maturity in execution. There is ample gore, violence and nudity but none of it is there for cheap thrills nor they feel forced to insert titillation. They gel with the proceedings on screen very well. A solid RPG. Combat is fun. There are a few elements which may need more improvements but they're minor quibbles at this point. Overall, a solid fantastic game. A solid 9.5/10 from me.
