CodemastersI.G.I. 2 Covert Strike - PC

I found IGI-1 so interesting that I had no second thought in buying IGI-2... and yes it did pay my money.... The graphics and sound is extremely good giving you full real life effect. The objectives are not so easy. The enemy can easily strike you and it is not possible to recover your health unlike the first part. If you get killed you have to restart the game all over again. At times this may be frustrating but one way its good. It will bring you more ideas and strategies to achieve those objectives. You can carry a max 2 weapons and few grenades and nothing more than that. For most part of the game you will find the AI acts pretty smart and it will always keep you busy. But yes you can find loop holes in some of missions. In IGI-2 you will have thermal imaging camera which means you can see your enemies even through walls and locate their positions. You can now stay behind the wall and start shooting your enemies right through the wall. All your enemies are dead without you loosing any life. It is difficult to move right or left if you are crawling. But overall you find this game interesting and is worth buying.

This was a great order experience. No complaints at all. Plus it’s my favourite pc game, too. Thank you. Game on 🤙🏻

I finished the first level and it wasn't too hard after you understand that stealth is the way to play this game. That is, avoid the guards, cameras and be sure to hide in the shadows. I have begun the second level, going down into the mines, and I have been killed about 20 times now with less than two minutes into the mission. The slightest slip up and you have a dozen guards with automatic weapons all shooting at you. Even killing a guard with the knife is enough to get an instant response from other guards who come rushing from another room.It appears that there may be only about two saves possible per level, so you have to be very wise about when to save the game. Looks like I'll have to buy a hint book for this game.The graphics are excellent. I am running a P4 2.53, 512 MB ram, with a Radeon 9700 Pro with about everything maxed out.I am playing at the medium difficulty level, but will probably have to go to the easiest to stand a chance at finishing the game.

Very difficult to complete without any hacks. Trainer are risky as they pose potential malware threat. Gameplay is good considering the time it was made

I bought this game about 6 months ago after having played the demo about 1 1/2 years ago. I remembered that the demos (2 differnet levels) were fun and the graphics were pretty decent. After buying the game and attempting to play it several times on the second level, I finally uninstalled it and put it away. The levels can be hard since there is a lot of sneaking around so you dont attract attention. The problem is that when you do attract attention, every guard comes running at you and the AI is pretty decent. Herein lies the problem. You cant save the game through the difficult parts and continually getting killed is so frustrating and annoying that I finally said heck with it and put it away.The game play is fun, the graphics are fairly decent, and the AI isnt terribly retarded. This game reminds me of Alien vs Predator, which you couldnt save between automatic check points until the patch came out which fixed it and made it fun. There is no such patch for IGI2. Dont waste your money unless you like to punish yourself. Good game but maddening.
