Information
I.G.I.-2:
Covert Strike is a computer game developed by Innerloop Studios and
released by Codemasters in 2003. The game is a stealth-based first
person shooter. It is the sequel to Innerloop's Project I.G.I.: I'm
Going In. The original, published by Eidos Interactive, offered only
single-player play. 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 box art is similar to the poster
for GoldenEye.
The
game's plot features a rogue Chinese General, "Wu Xing" as the primary
antagonist. 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. At the end of the game, the protagonist David Jones
is finally able to defeat him and stop the launch.
Missions and Storyline
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. 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.
Missions have objectives that must all be completed before the mission ends.
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.
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. Every mission presents an opportunity for
large groups of enemies to be bypassed or sneaked past, undiscovered.
Certain missions even require entire operations to be carried out
undetected, i.e. without giving enemies a chance to sound the alarm, as
the name Covert Strike suggests.
At
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.
