  1. It has a very solid story which actually makes sense, a good atmosphere, and very good graphics. Definitely a recommended title.
  2. Its mix of classic adventure-style gameplay, intriguing storyline, logical puzzles and just a touch of action make it a topnotch choice for fans of thought-inducing gameplay.
  3. A fine game for the adult adventurer who enjoys dark spy novels and also is willing to tolerate a bit of "consolitis" in her/his gaming experience.

    As an adventure fan, you may enjoy the cool spy storyline, and some of more interesting stealth elements of the game, but action gamers will find themselves in a world of intrigue, but a world without challenge.
  5. It's a good enough story to keep you playing despite the game's many problems, and it eventually make you want to ignore these problems altogether.
  6. In Cold Blood is not a terrible game, but there is nothing really special here.
  7. Extremely immersive and one of the best espionage titles available to date on the personal computer.
  8. 66
    I can recommend it to anyone who wants a spy based adventure game, but if you're really looking for action and suspense you'll be sorely disappointed with ICB.
  9. The many cut-scene cinematics are first-rate, the settings (despite the herky-jerky animations) look wonderful, and the rich incidental music works seamlessly with the story.
  10. A letdown for NRA enthusiasts, surely, but they will enjoy the best spy perk of all—a license to kill.
  11. In Cold Blood is an entertaining journey for action adventure fans although, as with all games that walk this narrow path between action and adventure, it will probably be criticized from both sides of the fence.
  12. I found that In Cold Blood moved along too slowly, and the action to be far too tame in some levels, and practically nonexistent in others. The plot had huge potential but it really failed in pushing the player forward with any kind of enthusiasm.
  13. The solid story, decent backgrounds and cool gadgets just aren't enough to offset the lame animation, awful control and bland action.

    Hey, considering I only paid 15 bucks for it, (Gasp! PAID for a game?!?) it's not a bad title, but yeah I have to agree, the control does indeed suck, especially when you need to haul ass, but otherwise a real pretty game to look at... Full Review »
