Cold War is a game i went into with no real expectations other than hoping it was somewhat playable and fun. The game although nothing original or unique is a very enjoyable stealth action game with the beginning of the game focusing more on stealth and the later more like a third person shooter. You play the game as a journalist Matt Carver who while on a routine story gets captured and put in KGB prison. The games story revolves around a conspiracy to set off nucleur weapons and to overthrow the Russian goverment. The games cutscenes are shown as still images which i believe are cell shaded. Its not the best way to do it but it works. The gameplay is very fun and the controls are easy to use. Near the beginning what you must do is sneak behind the enimies and knock them unconsious then you have the option of injecting them with anesthetic which is a good idea since if you dont they will be up and about pretty soon. One thing that sets this game apart from other games in the stealth genre is your ability to create weapons and items out of stuff you find around the levels like cans and batteries. You can create silencers with plastic bottles, rubber bullets for incapacitating the enemies and so on. You are not allowed to kill anyone near the beginning and its automatic mission failure if you do. Eventually you get the ak47 and can kill anyone except for civilians. The games graphics are quite good although nothing that great. Alot of the levels do have the same type of feel to them and same look. The character models are pretty good as well. The sound effects and voice acting are good to and found nothing wrong with the voices.. Alot of them have russian accents n such. The game will obviously be compared to splinter cell since it shares alot of similarities with it. The game does have a somewhat me to average game feel to it but that doesnt stop it from being a fun game thats worth playing.
