Just Doesn't Live Up To It's Predecessor

Unfortunately, IGI 2: Covert Strike does not live up to its predecessor in any way, shape, or form. I remember spending hours tooling through all the missions in the original IGI, and it wasn't just the action that I enjoyed but the storyline and the characters as well. I never played past the first level on this game, first because it was just plain bad, but second, and most importantly, because it had SOOOO many graphics problems.

I tried to play this game on my old computer and the game hardly ran. I turned down all the grpahics options, but it still wouldn't run properly, so I figured my system just couldn't handle it. Eventually I bought a new machine, with a top-of-the-line ATI graphics card, and I installed the game. Excited to play the sequel to one of my favorites, I began the first mission, but the graphics problems were still there! Only this time there were no excuses. I downloaded the latest patch but still no change. The game constatnly froze on the cutscenes and I couldn't even GET to the second mission. It was a complete waste of my time and money, and I suggest you don't make it a waste of yours.
