This new IGI 2: Covert Strike sampler is set in a 1950s Soviet weather station, high in the Carpathian Mountains and has David Jones, our IGI (Institute for Geotactical Intelligence) agent, on a reconnaissance mission tracking down a nano-technology chip, held by the local mafia.

Objectives include locating a laser-cutter and a silenced sniper rifle, breaking into offices, deactivating security systems and launching a weather balloon. Faced with enemy patrols, scientists and snow troopers, Jones needs to engineer an incredible surface-to-air escape on a Hercules plane in a classic blockbuster end sequence.

Gameplay faces Jones with many decisions between using stealth or firepower.  Players must use their judgment to see which tactics give the best results.
