There’s a familiar team of characters to help you out and a familiar team of characters to get in your way. Think of any Tom Clancy book and not only do you have the right ball park you’re probably on the right base too. This time, the technical plans of a new EMP device have been stolen by some cheeky Russians and it’s up to you and your team to get them back.
Taking the role of David Jones, the campest former SAS man this side of a Blue Oyster Bar military theme night, you must save the world (again) from global terror. label from industry old boys Mastertronic and do you know what? It’s still quite good.Įssentially what you’ve got here is a hammy spy yarn told through a fairly decent stealth-centred FPS. Eighteen months on, it receives a release on the £9.99 M.A.D. Not great, not Halo but certainly not crap. It had the backing of former SAS officer turned mediocre author Chris Ryan, it sold pretty well and it got reasonable reviews – people thought it was alright. It was good to see that in March 2003 when Codemasters and Innerloop released a sequel, they had taken note of the criticisms and produced a far better gaming experience. It may have been that it hinted at something better, it may have been that there were some real moments of quality or it may have been that it received a fair amount of hype but it sold quite well and some people didn’t think it was crap. It was also cursed with some pretty poor AI and basic gameplay flaws, not to mention a difficulty level straight from Satan’s bowels, but it definitely had something.
The original Project IGI was cursed with probably the worst name ever seen in gaming (except perhaps that old PC Engine game, Bonk).
