    Lifeless and Boring

    This game feels lifeless. Surely, it's a bit difficult in the later missions. This game is not really thrilling that other people think. You can't really understand you're mission objective in this game. Actually, this i... Read Full Review

    Summer "Blockbuster' Sequel

    Similar to many summer "blockbuster" movies that come out in as sequels every summer this game, like the movie sequels, does little more than improve the graphics and simplify the game play even more than the first Proje... Read Full Review

    I read the IGI2 reviews and THEN bought the game. Do I regret it? No. Better FPS games exist but IGI2 is worth a look.

    IGI2 is my first venture into what is arguably a "stealth" FPS game. Despite having read many of the reviews here at GameSpot I decided to give the game the benefit of the doubt and bought it when it was on special. I wa... Read Full Review

    IGI 2: Covert Strike

    I’ve heard IGI 2 pitched as “the thinking man’s first-person shooter.” Well, the only thing I wondered as I played through this game was, “What exactly is the man thinking about?” The potential was here for a deep, invol... Read Full Review

    Definitely much better than its predecessor

    IGI 2 I can best describe as a redemption gone bad. Some things were better than the prequel like the weapons, graphics, the lighting, the water and FINALLY THE DEVELOPERS REALISED TO ENABLE INGAME SAVING BUT(T) again th... Read Full Review

    IGI 2 2007 update

    The game now has a couple years behind it. By myself i started playing it in 2005. I never liked the single player part, the enemy AI was stupid, the maps were pretty boring and predictable and the story wasnt the best e... Read Full Review

    A good begginers choice - but i still love it!

    In a few short and snappy sentences i'll sum this game up, it's fun, it has guns and blood and a great multiplayer mode. Now most people would go onto say about how the graphics aren't up to scratch and how bad the plot ... Read Full Review

    First IGI is better Graphics

    One word comes to mind as I "play" this game - turd. There is very little of value to be found in this game, especially considering the myriad of quality shooters out there now. I gave it so many chances....really wanted... Read Full Review
