I played the demo for this game a couple weeks ago,...and what really drove me into buying the full pack was the realistic feel, the humor, and the light bloodshed displayed in the demo version. I've been looking around for an alternative to tomb raider...I never found the game too appealing, and I never really adored lara croft's image...she was just so...eh. This new game...no one lives forever, is quite a refreshing change.

You get to be a secret agent, and during each level, you are assigned some tasks which must be accomplished with stealth and optimum speed..which makes fora challenging gameplay. The graphics arent too bright or too dull so as to make you squint your eyes while playing...it's very pleasant to the eye, and the 3-d enviroments are very realistic and well detailed. The violent part of the game isnt too gory either...blood dosent spill out as much as it does in games like redneck rampage, or unreal tournament. This is very good for people like me, who get headaches after viewing excessive blood. there is even an option that makes dead bodies dissappear in case you dont want a mass of carcass on the floor.

The game also includes traning sessions, in which you are trained to use different kind of weapons dedicated to each level. The training instructions are very easy to follow. The weapons included in the game are very nice...not too big for a woman, but very efficient, and you have a wide variety to choose from. The spy herself, whom you're controlling in the game, is a moderately sexy young lady with a british accent.

I find that very appealing. She isnt dressed in a skimpy wear like lara croft so that perverted thoughts would keep distracting you from the game, and she moves at a decent pace. I shoudlnt forget to mention that there are some very funny scenes in this game, where the villians ( who speak what sounds like a combination of russian and indian accents )make some very interesting dialoues. The levels are short ..and refreshing, and can be easily saved at any point, unlike some games where you can only save at certain points. The soundtrack isnt too bad either...its just what is needed in a spy - role game.

Whether you purchase this game at the full price at a retail store like staples, or if you buy it dirt cheap on ebay, I can assure you that you would not regret spending your money on this game. Even girls should enjoy playing this game because of the nice graphics..and easy gameplay. I played the game on an 800mhz computer, and it ran pretty well without freezing on any occasion.
