    Blasting action with more depth than your average FPS.

    The game's tension-packed atmosphere and large levels--though lacking the similar "Splinter Cell"'s pizzazz--make it an FPS standout. [28 Feb 2003, p.87]

    FPS fans with a hankering for the often imitated, never bettered feel of "GoldenEye" will find plenty here to luxuriate in, but if you want to shoot people without having to resort to caution you may find this a grind.

    If it wasn't for some of the lemming and sharp shooting AI, lack of corpse movement, and clunky animation, this would have been a great game. As it is, IGI 2: Covert Strike is a good, solid game.

    A solid sequel that in many ways improves on the original concept.
  7. Eurogamer

    A fairly competent shooter with quite a bit of life in it - just not quite the leap forward we had hoped for.
  8. Adrenaline Vault

    Despite the high level of difficulty, this is a very well planned and well-executed game that represents what a sequel should be. I would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a challenge.
  9. Gamezilla!

    While IGI-2: Covert Strike may not have the refined stealth elements of "Splinter Cell" or the same intelligent action of "Halo," it blends the two half-way decently into an entertaining spectacle of espionage action.
  10. Four Fat Chicks
    75
    Unlike its predecessor, playing this game is not an exercise in rage management—it is challenging but logical, difficult but fun.
  11. GameZone
    75
    While the game does feature some nice improvements over its predecessor, it can’t really compete with the much better action titles out there.

    Достойное продолжение шутера с элементами стелса, и с большими открытыми пространствами.Достойное продолжение шутера с элементами стелса, и с большими открытыми пространствами.
