Game Over Online

It has a very solid story which actually makes sense, a good atmosphere, and very good graphics. Definitely a recommended title.

Computer Games Magazine

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.

Four Fat Chicks

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.

IGN

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.

In Cold Blood is not a terrible game, but there is nothing really special here.

Adrenaline Vault

Extremely immersive and one of the best espionage titles available to date on the personal computer.

GameSpot

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.

GameSpy

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.

GamePower

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.

Maxim Online

A letdown for NRA enthusiasts, surely, but they will enjoy the best spy perk of all—a license to kill.

Quandary

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.

Da Gameboyz

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.

Game Revolution

The solid story, decent backgrounds and cool gadgets just aren't enough to offset the lame animation, awful control and bland action.

Ronin F. gave it a 7:
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...

Feith G. gave it a 10:
Very good game! :)

Dapo A. gave it a 9:
Although it lacks in the action department. The puzzles are designed to get you to think outside of the box.

Vee Au W. gave it a 6:
Good story line. graphic is ok. the only bad thing is the damn movement control.

Tom D. gave it a 0:

Jason M. gave it a 7:
Fine story telling, weak interface--Progression can be halted for long periods by simply not seeing a latter, etc.
