Project IGI: I'm Going In

If you enjoy the idea of engaging covert-ops missions that require stealth and smarts more than sheer brawn, you'll love IGI.

I had a few bad experiences with this game but let me tell you this - as soon as I am done typing this, you guessed it - I'm Going In. I think you should too.

The AI isn't awful enough to really bother me. The lack of save feature is annoying. The graphics and sound are pleasant, and the gameplay works.

Despite its flaws and little imperfections, it still manages to deliver a fun gaming experience...though we can't help but feel that it's missing something...(multiplayer).

Boasting value for money gameplay, a tight cohesive storyline and a gorgeously realistic setting this is a game that demands to be played.

Had it included a mid-mission save and a multiplayer mode, it could have been a solid four star title; add tweaked graphics and improved AI, and it would have been a surefire winner. However, without those features, Project IGI is a good game, but certainly not a great one.

A botched opportunity for what could have been a cool game. [Mar 2001, p.49]

Best fps and stealth action of its own time in pc gaming one of my childhood nostalgia I can't tell enough that how much I love this game ️

A nice shooter game with a pretty open design of missions. Levels are huge, usually with a military base surrounded by vast plains or mountains - which allows you to seek for softer spots and attack the way you like. The permadeath feature (no save during mission) makes the game very challenging. Fortunately, you can use "satellite data" to see positions of enemies even while you are hiding behind walls. It would be a Hitman-style game if not the endless enemy spawners which turn on if you set of the alarm. This unrealistic feature spoils the stealthy gameplay which you might have wanted. Also, in the final few missions, the difficulty ramps up, as you face "commando" enemies which take zero time to aim at you.

While it can be a good game that you can play tactically, it is a game whose mechanics remain bad and atrophied. I remember the game very well in terms of gameplay and sections, even though the last time I played it was at a really young age. The evil of the shooter mechanics inevitably drags this game down. The plot is generally an "Indeterminate" game. Right now, only can who want to nostalgia can play. But they probably won't last more than 2 episodes and close it. This is the highest rating I can give this game. 5

A simple yet stealth action shooter. Doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It can kill some time, but many FPSs outshine it in every regard.

Innerloop Studios donnait plutôt dans le simulateur de vol (de baltringues pour tout dire...) mais ils décidèrent en 2000 de se lancer dans unn FPS un peu particulier, utilisant l'environnement de leur jeu de zingues... mais au sol pour laisser libre cours aux missions d'un mercenaire nettoyeur en terre inconnue... Hélas, si toute bonne idée est à l'origine pavée de bonnes... intentions, elle se voit remplacée par l'enfer lui-même lorsqu'elle est développée par une équipe de trous de balle ! en effet, si les mécaniques de ce FPS (qui se veut réaliste) ne sont pas mauvaises, la difficulté hallucinée (et hallucinante) le nombre d'ennemis qui peuvent vous tomber dessus sur ces (très) grandes cartes et surtout l'absence de toute sauvegarde (sauver, c'est pour les lâches) rendent le jeu insupportable ! C'était déjà insupportable à l'époque mais c'est encore pire de nos jours et c'est devenu tout bonnement... inacceptable. Là, rien qu'à m'en rappeler, j'ai même pas envie de le résinstaller mais seulement envie de le démembrer avec une joie indicible : je découpe le disque avec de gros ciseaux, puis écartèle le boîtier ; enfin, je déchire lentement ce qui fait office de mode d'emploi (la collection "Premier" d'Eidos, la collection "budget", du temps qu'Eidos existait encore... putain !).
