    It has a very solid story which actually makes sense, a good atmosphere, and very good graphics. Definitely a recommended title.
  2. Computer Games Magazine

    Its mix of classic adventure-style gameplay, intriguing storyline, logical puzzles and just a touch of action make it a topnotch choice for fans of thought-inducing gameplay.
  3. Four Fat Chicks
    75
    A fine game for the adult adventurer who enjoys dark spy novels and also is willing to tolerate a bit of "consolitis" in her/his gaming experience.

    It's a good enough story to keep you playing despite the game's many problems, and it eventually make you want to ignore these problems altogether.

    I can recommend it to anyone who wants a spy based adventure game, but if you're really looking for action and suspense you'll be sorely disappointed with ICB.
  6. GamePower

    The many cut-scene cinematics are first-rate, the settings (despite the herky-jerky animations) look wonderful, and the rich incidental music works seamlessly with the story.

    The solid story, decent backgrounds and cool gadgets just aren't enough to offset the lame animation, awful control and bland action.

    Flawed, but very, very enjoyable. Intelligent, well written, atmospheric, better than the bond films, espionage as it's supposed to be. Flawed, but very, very enjoyable. Intelligent, well written, atmospheric, better than the bond films, espionage as it's supposed to be. Well done.… Expand

    Fine story telling, weak interface--Progression can be halted for long periods by simply not seeing a latter, etc.
