IGI 2 tries to shake things up in the overcrowded FPS genre, but it's so-called "Innovations" end up being it

User Rating: 4 | Project IGI 2 PC
IGI 2 features an expanded AI system over it's predeccessor, hailing their life like alerness, when all it comes down to is a cheap gimic that simply works against the game. The only true addition to the AI system is an expanded field of view, which attepmts to force the player into a stealthy style of gameplay, but in the end, simply frustrates all but the most astute gamer.The game features a modicum of generic weaponry, seen in 150,112 or so games beforehand, and all perform in about the same way. The guns in IGI 2 bare almost no resemblance to the accuracy and firepower of their real-life counterparts, and most feel near identical.The graphics haven't aged well, although they're still passable, and represent one of the few high points of the game. The sound, however, is a very different story. Very few sound effects can be heard in IGI 2, and its repetiore consists mostly of alarm bells, and weak, underwhelming gunshot noises.All in all, IGI 2 is a dissapointment in every way. From the Gameplay, to the presentation, everything about the game screams "Generic!". If you're in need of an fps fix, or due to some mental defect, you just love frustration, then by all means, give it a try. If you belong to the former, rather than the latter, then be prepared for dissapointment.
