In this good stealth action adventure in third-person view, you play a British spy whose task is to find a missing American agent who is imprisoned in a uranium mine in the fictional Russian state of Volgia. While exploring the mine, you find that the Volgians have harnessed a strange form of energy with unknown intentions which you must further investigate. The complex and very interesting story takes many unexpected twists which is the game's strong point. Much of the game is told in flashback - each mission is framed as one of your character's confessions during what appears to be a very painful interrogation session. Similarly to Metal Gear Solid, you can dispatch enemies from behind with a single blow, but you can just as easily shoot your way through most levels. Occasionally, remaining unseen will be a key to success. The dialogue and voices are well done and as well the music and good-looking visuals both help create an almost relentless atmosphere of suspense and tension. The puzzles are good but fairly easy as is the action which keeps the pace brisk. | ||
