Good storyline but very very frustrating [Posted on 2006-12-12]
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.

A Nostalgic Game [Posted on 2007-01-19]
Back in the year 2003-2004 I played the heck out of this game. I enjoyed every moment. Back then the graphics were considered "very good". This game is somewhat a stealth based game so if your into stealth this should be in your collection. I see a writer of a review had stated that it is/was annoying that he had to start over if he got caught and that he had to sneak around in some parts of the game. Well yeah...Duh! it's part of the game man. Maybe you aren't geared for stealth based games but back to this game. This is a story driven single-player game. Continuing from where the first game left off. I think you have the option of having 1st & 3rd person views. There are several levels to this game. 19-missions are set in real world locations spanning three continents. Missions ranging from all-out fire fight and assaults. There are some Covert surveillance ranging from thefts, escapes in urban and rural environments. You get to use several weapons if needed though sometimes you are encouraged by Intel to use stealth & intelligence. You will have more than 30 guns and other weapons. These weapons are; Sub-Machine guns, miniguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, pistols, rocket launchers, grenades and knives. To my recollection the ending didn't leave me hanging. It is a very fun game and for the price? Why not!? Buy it and have fun!

This game is old. [Posted on 2008-03-25]
This may have been a great game at one time, but not any more. The controls are lame and choppy. The gameplay is very difficult in some levels where you have no way of not being spotted and wind up getting torn to pieces before you can find a spot to hide from the mob of people shooting at you. I wouldn't recommend this game unless you can get it cheap.

IGI 2 Review [Posted on 2008-04-12]
Got this for a friend, and he absolutely loves it, though he's still busy finishing IGI 1 still.

F.P.S. Delight [Posted on 2008-06-14]
I purchased ' IGI-2 COVERT STRIKE ', a short time ago, to replace one I lost due to DVD malfunction.
Thankfully, ' Amazon ', carried NEW Games of IGI-2.The game it's self is a dream to play & set up to your own liking. I use a 256MG Video Card & Windows XP system & have had no difficulty playing the game. The graphics are wonderful, The landscapes are so real, it's really hard to tell the difference from real life. The AI characters all respond to your every sound or movement.

But here's the real kicker, regardless what others say, I have not found any working CHEATS!!, So you must take your time, be very careful or you will be shot.
In most of the levels you may save the game, but your severely limited on how many saves you get.
While there are some keyboard moves you need, Primary control is in the mouse.
One Hint, Keep those Heavy weapons for emergencies, You will need them.
Overall, Great game, Great play, Few if any glitches, Well worth the price.
