IGI is one FPS on the PC that's bound to get you interested but that's going to leave you disappointed at the end...
The game features stealth but a player can easily go through levels without using much stealth. We play as David Jones, IGI whose mission is to procure the Nuclear Warhead in the control of Priboi, an international arms dealer. The game has better graphics at higher resolutions and is more enjoyable with higher graphics and the game has good graphics for its time. The weapons of the game have been well modeled and are quite realistic. The game's storyline is solid and is one of the best features in the game and it helps to go through the game. I am total fan of IGI's wide arsenal of weapons especially the Jackhammer and the Dragunov Sniper Rifle. The game starts getting tougher after level 3 where the game requires stealth. The game more difficult later because of the security cameras being at oddly unavoidable positions sometimes. There are also machine gun turrets that get activated and shoot enemy on sight in the final levels. The cut scenes are also quite interesting and there are times you will benefit from watching them as the mission data presented provide useful information about how to go through the mission. The map computer and binoculars in the game come in very handy and are absolutely essential to complete the missions
The game has many shortcomings and glitches inspite of the many merits. It has quite a lack of proper calibration in the recoil of the weapons. The game also has an immense lack of the range and effectiveness of weapons. The bullets fired can go to a huge distance like a sniper rifle ammo. For example, an AK 47 or an MP5 can be used to kill enemies at large distances using binoculars for aiming and firing the weapon in short bursts. The game also has a very big glitch in which, in some missions there are unlimited backup soldiers coming from the barracks which is really weird. The game also has a severe glitch when it comes to the cameras which see you at oddly huge distances in some missions. The game lacks proper stability and its save system is the worst because the game cannot be saved at certain positions in between the missions and this makes completing the missions a very difficult task even though that makes the game a lot more challenging. The lack of proper system for saving the game is the biggest drawback in the game.
Even though the game is rock solid but due to its major flaw in the games' save system it makes the game a lot more boring and makes it very frustrating after a while to be playing it.
