Snipe out terrorism as David Jones takes aim once again in this spectacular action and stealth sequel to Project IGI. Shadow David Jones through Russia, across Libya and into China in three linked covert campaigns, as he infiltrates locations including military airbases, harbours and secret government installations. Features completely new AI systems and an outstanding array of realistically modelled weaponry in both single and multi-player modes. [Codemasters]

86
PC Format
Blasting action with more depth than your average FPS.

83
Entertainment Weekly
The game's tension-packed atmosphere and large levels--though lacking the similar "Splinter Cell"'s pizzazz--make it an FPS standout. [28 Feb 2003, p.87]
82
Gamer.tv
FPS fans with a hankering for the often imitated, never bettered feel of "GoldenEye" will find plenty here to luxuriate in, but if you want to shoot people without having to resort to caution you may find this a grind.

80
IGN
If it wasn't for some of the lemming and sharp shooting AI, lack of corpse movement, and clunky animation, this would have been a great game. As it is, IGI 2: Covert Strike is a good, solid game.

80
ActionTrip
A solid sequel that in many ways improves on the original concept.

80
Eurogamer
A fairly competent shooter with quite a bit of life in it - just not quite the leap forward we had hoped for.

80
Adrenaline Vault
Despite the high level of difficulty, this is a very well planned and well-executed game that represents what a sequel should be. I would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a challenge.

79
Gamezilla!
While IGI-2: Covert Strike may not have the refined stealth elements of "Splinter Cell" or the same intelligent action of "Halo," it blends the two half-way decently into an entertaining spectacle of espionage action.

75
GameZone
While the game does feature some nice improvements over its predecessor, it cant really compete with the much better action titles out there.

75
Four Fat Chicks
Unlike its predecessor, playing this game is not an exercise in rage managementit is challenging but logical, difficult but fun.

73
IC-Games
It just could easily have been so much more. If you like a stealthy action game with decent graphics and arent too bothered about playing online IGI2 might just keep you busy.

73
Game Informer
If you're really in the market for a stealth shooter, there are plenty better out there. [Apr 2003, p.95]
60
Computer Games Magazine
A solidly entertaining stealth game, but its emphasis on puzzle-like level design, and an unforgiving difficulty level makes it as frustrating as it is entertaining. [June 2003, p.82]
60
G4 TV
The objectives and set pieces will keep you playing despite the dumb AI. But after you complete the game, you'll have no incentive to ever again play any part of this game.

60
Yahoo! Games
Seriously lacking in terms of pacing and challenge.

59
PC Gamer
Looks are pretty much the only appeal. The main culprit in sabotaging the attractive premise is the horrible AI. [May 2003, p.82]
56
GameSpot
It fails miserably at providing any sort of interesting story or characters that you care about. The levels are huge, but they're often bland or repetitive, and the game is riddled with design problems and bugs.

55
FiringSquad
Part of the problem is the glitchy tech and part of the problem is the inconsistent and frustrating gameplay. But the biggest problem is that there are so many better games with more personality, better level design, better weapons, better spying, and better shooting.

50
Edge Magazine
IGI2 straddles the same uneasy middle ground between (pseudo) realism and playability as its predecessor, and consequently strays from the realm of the enjoyable to that of the tedious far more often than is desirable. [March 2003, p.96]
42
Game Revolution
Isn't so much terrible as it is pointless. The success of a stealth-based game relies very heavily on complex AI and interesting moves. Sadly, IGI 2 fails on these fronts.

30
Computer Gaming World
An example of mediocrity dragged much further downward by sheer ineptitude. It could have been another so-so tactical stealth shooter, but the saves, the idiots, the cliches, and the crashes shove it into coaster territory. [July 2003, p.72]
20
GMR Magazine
Incredibly dull and uninspired, full of weird A.I. behaviors, bad graphics, and crushingly boring ennvironments. [May 2003, p.72]
