I.G.I.-2: Covert
Strike is a computer game developed by Innerloop Studios and released by
Codemasters in 2003. The game is a stealth-based first person shooter. It is
the sequel to Innerloop's Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In. The original, published
by Eidos Interactive, offered only single-player play with no save game
feature; it was polished and well-executed. Chris Ryan, a former Special Air
Service operative best known for being the lone successful escapee of Bravo Two
Zero, served as a consultant
to the game. The box art is similar to the poster
for GoldenEye.The game was banned in China because it "intentionally blackened China and the Chinese army's image".
The game was generally not well received by critics.
Characters:
David Jones: The protagonist of the entire game. He is, in fact, one of the best officers in the IGI headquarters. He is capable of accomplishing difficult tasks and missions without anyone's assistance, and is also pictured as a fearless man who does not hesitate to kill his targets at any spot. David is also described as an officer who does not give up so easily at risky and emergency situations, but stands firm to face and solve the situation calmly.
Robert Quest: Robert appears as one of the antagonists in this game. A strong man in his early fifties, Robert acts as David's temporary veteran pilot, piloting him to every single location in Russia to obtain the chips. Unknown to David, Robert has actually co-operated secretly with David's mission director in order to get the full set of the EMP chips and the blueprints too for their advantage. When David succeeds in getting all the chips, Robert betrays him directly by ordering him to jump down from the chopper when they are in it or he himself will shoot David. Finally, Robert was killed by David in Egypt without his comrades and director's knowledge.
Phillip White: The mission director; is actually a good friend of David's. He guides David sincerely throughout all the missions in Russia to recover the stolen EMP chips just to obtain the chips for himself and Robert Quest, his close comrade. Both of them infiltrated the IGI for decades and had earned great trust in the agency just to wait for the very moment. After betraying David with Robert, he and Robert escape for sanctuary in China, where they obey the command of General Wu Xing and handed the EMP chips to him. Finally, he was killed by General Wu Xing for accusing the general of killing Robert.
Rebecca Anya: Anya is one of the female officers operating in the IGI agency, although she usually spends most of the time in front of the monitor as David's new mission director after the dreadful incident. She has a typically cool manner of soldiers and does her job well, causing David to succeed in every mission without further dangers or failures.
Jach Priboi: A middle-aged man, Jach is actually an old pal of David's, but had not communicated with him for the past few years. Since the Russian fiasco, Jach had moved his illegal weapons trade to Libya, where he was held captive by the Libyan Intelligence for unknown purposes. While serving close surveillance in Libya, he unexpectedly encounters David who intends to rescue him out. He tries his best to assist David in every way and eventually recovers his important trade documents and also kills Major Zaleb Said in the end, fulfilling his intention and revenge.
Senator Pat Lenehan: Senator Lenehan is the main administrator of the IGI agency, and seems to express great interest in David's missions. He constantly goes to the command center to monitor David's missions together with Anya. An elderly old man, he is pictured as one who cares for the others.
