    A poor imitation of the Hitman games. Can be challenging and takes a lot of patience as you spend a lot of time trying to get around people who can blow your cover from quite a distance. The game never did grab me, and still is unfinished.

    Horrifying graphics, night-mareish controls, and incredibly stupid game-play. Yet, the story-line seems to hold on to you making you want to play the next level. The armory has lots of weapons to choose from, and you get a knife. I like the idea, and concept but the game itself is broken. A six would just be for the story-line and armory, nothing else. The A.I. is horrified! You can be Horrifying graphics, night-mareish controls, and incredibly stupid game-play. Yet, the story-line seems to hold on to you making you want to play the next level.

The A.I. is horrified! You can be seen with a disguise from the other side of the map! The detail of maps, and characters is laughable. This feels more like a beta stage demo than a full game. It at least deserves a weekend rent or the playable demo, but for you who are looking for a game to play just when you are incredibly bored, then this is for you.… Expand

    This is an horrible game. Yes, the idea is good because you are a soviet spy in Germany and other places, but the AI is absolutly horrible!

    And the weapons are a lot, but what you really need is more silenced guns! And you can bring principal weapons only if they are german, so when you ever used english weapons like the Springfield '03? And there are only the MP 40 and the K 98 you can bring without being uncovered!
    And there is NO story, only a mission after the other! And nobody tell you who you are, why you are fighting... Nothing!    … Expand

    Nice game. Story and the sounds are okay, the graphics a bit old. One of the best spy game and a bit hard. You can save, so no para. :D

    It is a very challenging stealth game, the game is like the hitman series but only based on the stealth.

For one I had an issue about the controls where the buttons would change at random (left becomes forward, right becomes backwards, etc,) now I'm not running it game on low spec computer, I have a good gaming PC (can play The Elder Scrolls : Skyrim and Fallout 3 with ever little lag). Another issue is that I keep running into invisible walls that shouldn't be there, like the door ways of the room where the objectives are. I don't know if you guys have the same problem I have or not but I think the game has a lot of room for improvement.… Expand

    A lot of people tend to buy this game with hitman, but it's actually something different, I think it's a great spy game and deserves more recognition than it gets.

    The game relies entirely on covert passage. It is easier to act imperceptibly, due to the terrible shooting model. Besides, the enemies are very strong. There are a lot of technical defects and shortcomings. There is no interesting story. We just go through missions one by one. This is not Hitman. The game has its own atmosphere.

    After completing Death to Spies I am very pleasantly surprised with the game mechanics and shockingly smart enemy A.I. Enemies will respond accordingly to mostly all of your actions on the field but I recommend stealthing this game fully as the A.I. can become brainless when you are caught.

Enemies will respond accordingly to mostly all of your actions on the field but I recommend stealthing this game fully as the A.I. can become brainless when you are caught. They run around aimlessly and constantly chuck grenades at you. The game is definitely meant to be played silently and it is way more rewarding this way.
    Death to Spies has you tackling Nazi prison camps, bases and even tasks you with destroying an entire bridge to cut of enemy reinforcements to the front lines as well as a few other locations I will leave to you to find out for yourself. Do not expect anything exciting from the story and dialogue as that does not seem to be a huge focus in Death to Spies. Character voice acting and lip to voice synchronization is a mess but I did not let that take away from the stories I created within each individual mission.
    To say the least, Death to Spies is truly underrated and was lost in the shadows of Hitman. It is a must play for hardcore stealth lovers!    … Expand

    Il s’agit d’un TPS d’infiltration durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale et a priori, ça ressemble à un mélange entre Hitman et un Project IGI… sauf que l’action éventuelle (comme dans un Project IGI) se révèle totalement nulle à chier ! certes, la furtivité est naturellement fortement recommandée mais tout de même, que c’est mauvais (et nul à chier, putain : on a rarement vu une telleIl s’agit d’un TPS d’infiltration durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale et a priori, ça ressemble à un mélange entre Hitman et un Project IGI… sauf que l’action éventuelle (comme dans un Project IGI) se révèle totalement nulle à chier ! certes, la furtivité est naturellement fortement recommandée mais tout de même, que c’est mauvais (et nul à chier, putain : on a rarement vu une telle catastrophe en la matière !).

    Alors quid de l’infiltration dans ce cas ? eh bien, c’est encore pire et encore plus nul à chier que le reste, record battu ! ce jeu va donc finir directement au fond des chiottes, sans tambour ni trompette, ni préambule. En effet, bien que les zones soient grandes, n’importe quel garde a des yeux de lynx mais aussi une ouïe incroyablement sensible : se déplacer de 2 cm à plat ventre, planqué derrière un arbre et il te voit direct ! et il te plombe aussi sec.

    Ce qui me fait penser au déplacement « furtif » du personnage… il avance à 0,002 mètre à l’heure, même les limaces fatiguées vont plus vite que lui ! Enfin bref, c’est une daube injouable et bien moche avec ça, surtout pour un jeu de 2007 quand même !    … Expand

Зафронтовой разведывательной и контрразведывательной работой занимались оперативники 4-го отдела ГУК «СМЕРШ». На их долю выпали самые сложные и опасные задания: шпионаж, контрразведка, диверсии, установление, похищение и ликвидация особо важных персон противника.

    It may not be easy doing sneaky dirty work in the Second World War, but it is more entertaining than you'd expect.

    Offers a rather refreshing take on war-status games. It's nowhere near the excellence of other established stealth games, but it does offer enough innovation and open-endedness to get enough entertainment out of.

    A nice change of pace from the normal fast-paced action games of late. Observing the environment and enemies before making the right choices is good fun, even if the clumsy interface and slow-moving character try to mess the experience up. Not everyone's cup of tea, but fans of Hitman should be right at home here. [Nov 2007]
