You could say: a sneaker-shooter! Additionally, the game features multiplayer support where you can solve missions on special mp-maps. So, again, you have to fight for your own, infiltrate enemy bases, wander through huge outdoor and indoor levels, hack computers and find the best strategy to solve the mission. IGI-2: Covert Strike starts where the first part ended. without giving enemies a chance to sound the alarm, as the name Covert Strike suggests.Īt the start of a new game, a difficulty level can be chosen, changing the number of bullets Jones takes before dying, the intelligence of the enemy and group AI, and the number of save games available.You’re the undercover agent David Jones who’s part of the secret agency IGI and in charge to protect the world from international terrorism. Certain missions even require entire operations to be carried out undetected, i.e. Every mission presents an opportunity for large groups of enemies to be bypassed or sneaked past, undiscovered. Multiple paths exist for every mission, with the most obvious and daunting being a noisy gun-fight, because in every mission Jones is outnumbered anywhere from 20-1 up to 50-1. Straight-forward tactics are not encouraged, with stealthy and covert movement giving the player a better rating, rank and chance of survival, with the highest attainable ranking entitled David Jones.
Missions have objectives that must all be completed before the mission ends. This approach is similar to other games in this genre, which don’t rely on video, instead providing a comparable quality of visual and dramatic appeal, reusing the same in-game 3D engine for cut scene rendering. The game is divided into missions, and the story is presented in cut scenes, shown before and after every mission, with animated characters rendered in real-time and pre-recorded speech. It received generally negative reviews by critics. The game was banned in China, because it “intentionally blackened China and the Chinese army’s image”. At the end of the game, the protagonist David Jones is finally able to defeat him and stop the launch. Xing orchestrates various events (such as armed robbery of advanced prototype technology from the Russian mafia) in order to get Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weaponry on a space rocket that he has launch control over. The game’s plot features a rogue Chinese General, “Wu Xing” as the primary antagonist.
The box art is similar to the poster for GoldenEye. Chris Ryan, a former Special Air Service operative best known for being the lone successful escapee of Bravo Two Zero, served as a consultant to the game. The original, published by Eidos Interactive, offered only single player play. It is the sequel to Innerloop’s Project I G I 1I’m Going In. The game is a stealth based first person shooter.
IGI 2 Covert Strike is a computer game developed by Innerloop Studios and released by Codemasters in 2003.
