Project IGI 2
Perhaps IGI 2's biggest problem is that instead of drawing you into a thrilling adventure, it makes you feel like you're just going through the motions in a generic shooter.

Sometimes a
mediocre game can seem worse than an outright dud. When you're playing an
obviously terrible game, you can usually put it safely aside and move on to
something better. But mediocre games like Innerloop Studios' IGI 2: Covert Strike trick you into thinking that there might be something
great just around the corner, only to repeatedly disappoint you. The previous
game, Project IGI, was an
above-average shooter when it was released in 2000, despite some serious
shortcomings. But things have changed since then--more-sophisticated and
more-stylish action games such as Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, No One Lives
Forever 2, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell have raised the bar for action games.
Yet Innerloop has slid under it with IGI 2, which is a shooter
that might have seemed exciting if it had been released in 2000, but is mostly
forgettable now.In IGI 2, you play as
ex-SAS soldier David Jones, a covert operative now working for the fictional
Institute for Geotactical Intelligence. You'd never know that at first if you
didn't read the box and manual before playing, though. The game itself just
throws you into the action without any decent setup or explanations. What
exactly is IGI? Who is David Jones? Who knows? Who cares? The attempts at
storytelling fall flat throughout the game.
straightforward action game, but, as your first mission briefing tells you when you start the game, "stealth will be vital." To be fair, IGI 2 at least gives you a visibility meter that gives you a good idea of how easily you can be seen without resorting to guesswork. You can toggle Jones' movement between running and walking, and you can also select from standing, crouching, and prone positions, all of which have an effect on how noticeable you are.
IGI 2 does have seem to have some basic mechanics to encourage interesting stealth-based gameplay, but in practice, the stealth elements are often tedious, frustrating, or implemented too obviously. All too often, you'll get the feeling that IGI 2's designers were following some sort some kind of action-game design handbook. You'll find levels where you'll obviously be required to sneak up behind a guard and incapacitate him, or levels in which you're clearly supposed to crouch behind a pile of crates to avoid being spotted by a security camera. In fact, IGI 2 may make you feel like you're jumping through hoops instead of pulling off dramatically daring feats, so you may be tempted to forget stealth and just start shooting things up.
