    Back to my memory, this is a great Battleship game, true environments, real infiltration, the feeling of being there is convincing, true weather and atmosphere, you go to libya, and many other countries, graphics is great, and the land escape is amazing the negative point is that the artificial intelligence is weak

    One of my favorite games ever. Limited game saving option,AI, weapons and real environments made this great.Graphics could be improved and more levels could be added. It is far better than it's prequel game. A must have game who loves Stealth and FPS games.

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

    Loved the first game, hated this one. Buy Splinter Cell (PC version).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A worthy sequel! IGI was a great game in itself, good story and gameplay. This one differs in many ways. About the number of weapons you can carry at a time, its just two here, compared to anything and everything in the former. Next is the level objectives, few parameters like health remaining, accuracy, time taken etc. which decide your rank! Unlike IGI, here you can be 'spotted' by the enemy thereby alarming the nearby guards. Then there are peek and crawl modes which are vital, since stealth is needed to clear levels and get a good rank. Other enhancements are in terms of equipment. The thermal scanner is the most notable. Aiming is also more realistic, its more random from uneasy postures. Some levels are real tough to clear! On the whole this game is worth playing once.… Expand

    La suite de "Project IGI", le soit-disant FPS... "furtif" (la bonne blague...) mais aussi et surtout super-casse-couilles ! or, on ne peut pas dire que "IGI 2" ait mis de l'eau dans son vin ou alors c'est du vinaigre... le plus gros progrès si l'on peut dire, c'est tout de même la possibilité de sauvegarder ! mais seulement 3 fois en tout et pour tout... après c'est vafanculo !

    Pour le    La suite de "Project IGI", le soit-disant FPS... "furtif" (la bonne blague...) mais aussi et surtout super-casse-couilles ! or, on ne peut pas dire que "IGI 2" ait mis de l'eau dans son vin ou alors c'est du vinaigre... le plus gros progrès si l'on peut dire, c'est tout de même la possibilité de sauvegarder ! mais seulement 3 fois en tout et pour tout... après c'est vafanculo !

    Pour le reste, bien que le jeu soit encore étonnamment joli et propret (il marche assez bien sur Win7-64 -à part un clipping de textures proches au sol- si on lui met la compat' Win 2000 dans le derche, ça lui plaît !) bien que le jeu soit intégralement en français (très correct) bien que l'interface soit plutôt présentable, "IGI 2" reste toujours aussi lourdingue !

    Les cartes sont grandes, très grandes mais dès la première mission, on se rend compte du problème : le jeu vous oblige à passer par le "couloir" qu'il a décidé sur la grande carte... c'est comme ça et pas autrement, alors pour l'infiltration (lol ?) lorsqu'il faut flinguer 4 types au portail sans déclencher (?!) l'alarme... vous repasserez !

    Du coup, ça devient du FPS bourrin et con mais sans possibilité de se soigner (les soins, c'est pour les lâches... ou les morts !) contre des tas de cons qui n'arrêtent pas d'arriver sur vous (mais combien y en a dans cette base au juste ?).

    De toute façon, vu l'immensité des niveaux, le gars ne court pas assez vite et lorsqu'il est accroupi, il avance comme un petit vieux sur son déambulateur , flinguer une caméra appelle une mégachiée de renforts et réveille encore (presque) toute la base...

    Non, ce machin reste irrécupérable et doit d'ailleurs rester dans l'oubli, au fond du placard et même de préférence dans la poubelle : un pseudo-jeu (très mal) fait par des incapables... heureusement, leur studio a disparu, Dieu merci !    … Expand

    The first game (Project IGI) was more interesting than IGI-2 covert strike. I have a problem with IGI-2, I bought the game CD and installed it but all the weapons look white (white in color). If anyone has the solution to my problem please email me at: shaheen_khan_4u_20m@yahoo.com I have read all system requirements for IGI-2 and my system holds all of them but still its not running too The first game (Project IGI) was more interesting than IGI-2 covert strike.

    Thought this was a great game... a bit hardware intensive, but fun to play.

    Very nice game if you like hiding in bushes, sneaking and doing things silently . I like all of this and this game gave me lots of fun, even if it's not a perfect production.

    One of my favorite games back in the days. It is difficult and has to be played stealthily to survive the mission.

    It fails miserably at providing any sort of interesting story or characters that you care about. The levels are huge, but they're often bland or repetitive, and the game is riddled with design problems and bugs.

    The objectives and set pieces will keep you playing despite the dumb AI. But after you complete the game, you'll have no incentive to ever again play any part of this game.

    Seriously lacking in terms of pacing and challenge.
