Frustrating and Annoying... [Posted on 2008-03-20]
Death to Spies is easily the most frustrating PC game I have ever played. I can understand making a game challenging but this game far surpasses challenging and moves into ridiculous. Here you are a USSR counterintelligence officer who is trying to infiltrate the Nazi party. The game does have great graphics, gameplay and is extremely faithful to historical settings. But overall, this one is just too time consuming, difficult and annoying for me to deal with.

Not Recommended

Not bad for the price [Posted on 2008-03-21]
If you're a fan of stealth and don't mind low-budget production values, this should be right up your alley. Otherwise, stay away- it's not an easy game for the action afficionado.

First - took forever to install. In fact, took multiple tries to install. Frustrated and irritable, I really did want to start to blast things.

But then came the controls. Clumsly and awkward...took way to long to get the feel for. Graphics are retro in a bad way. After stuff so realistc you think you're watching actors in movies, this won't pass.

Finally, the game itself. Weapon selection is good for a one-man game, but hard to switch. Gets tiresome. Have hardly played this after the second week, so my advice....pass.

I had a very hard time getting this game to load. Once I did, its is an excellent strategy game. I would highly recomend it.

Interesting, But DIfficult Interface [Posted on 2008-03-27]
Until I played this game, I thought SMERSH was a fictional spy agency for the old Soviet Union back in the 1960s. James Bond went up against those guys a few times as I recall. Instead, I learned that it was actually a real agency, and the name meant, literally, DEATH TO SPIES.

This first-person shooter has you playing as a Soviet spy, Captain Semion Strogov, and taking out opponents and obstacles. Getting it set up on the computer was a little frustrating. It took a long and a couple of tries to get everything to take. It definitely isn't just plug and play.

To add insult to injury, learning the necessary skills (like knife throwing) to get the game to get underway took way too long and were unnecessarily difficult. Once I got into the meat of the game, things were decidedly better.

However, the game didn't offer anything that first-person shooter fans haven't already seen. I like the period-piece games because I took a lot of history classes in college and enjoyed them. MEDAL OF HONOR immerses the player with the time period as well as gameplay, but I didn't quite sink into DEATH TO SPIES in the same way.

At first I thought it was me, but my 18 year old son had the same experiences when he installed it on his computer and started gameplay. It's a near miss, a fun game, but it just doesn't offer enough uniqueness if you've already got a shelf full of first-person shooters.
