as you would expect, quite a significant improvement on 2000’s Project IGI, and since I very much enjoyed the original game - despite its many shortcomings, you may think it strange that IGI 2 leaves me somewhat cold. As well as binoculars, you have infrared goggles, which turn the enemy into bright yellow mannequins - and of course a healthy spread of weapons. Your most important bit of kit is the trusty Map Computer, which though unable to point out security cameras, is very capable at highlighting where the enemy patrols are. In this particular adventure Jones is chasing stolen computer chips across the world, a journey that begins in Russia and ends in China, via Libya, some 19 rather large missions later.Īs in the first game, you work alone, which seeing as you're far from superhuman, requires you to remain undetected for as long as possible.
For those who missed the pioneering original, IGI2 sees the return of Dave Jones, an ex-SAS special forces operative who likes nothing better than to infiltrate terrorist bases on behalf of the Institute for Geotactical Intelligence (and you thought IGI meant something else).
