IGI 3 The Mark |
IGI
3 The Mark are Europe's last line of defense, tasked to stop a deadly nuclear
package before it reaches it's destination, London. It would be so easy and
tempting to describe how bad IGI 3 The Mark is by making some cute remark like,
"IGI 3 The Mark is way off IGI 3 The Mark," or "The lame
gameplay is a black mark against IGI 3 The Mark." However, that takes more
effort than this dreary, lackluster shooter from Dream Catcher and T7 Games
deserves. Sure, it's a budget shooter, but that doesn't excuse the fact that
it's a very bad game.
As
far as shooters go, IGI 3 The Mark can head toward the bottom of the list.
IGI
3 The Mark wants to be like a Hollywood style buddy movie in this case, a US
Marine and a British mercenary who must team up to stop London from being nuked
by terrorists. It's a fairly generic but passable plot device, but the game
manages to get everything else wrong. The plot itself is overly contrived and
makes no sense. For example, before they nuke London, the terrorists need to
kill the marine and his sister because they're the only people who can identify
the missile they plan to use. But wouldn't the missile be vaporized by the
nuclear explosion? There's also the fact that the bad guy's father, a
gazillionaire, finds out about the plot and wants to stop it. But instead of
picking up the phone and calling, say, the British government, he hires a
mercenary to protect the marine. Because as long as he's alive, the terrorists
won't launch their missile because he could identify it!
But
wait, there's more. The characters are like badly drawn caricatures. There's
Steve "Fletch" Fletcher and Austin Hawke, a couple of manly hero
names if there ever were any. They like to spout inane dialogue that's terribly
delivered. They also fly around in a small, one man jet, which apparently
defies the laws of physics because the jet already has a separate pilot. At one
point, the two heroes, their pilot, and the sister are all on board. There must
be a lot of sitting on laps in there; how cozy.
The
plot as silly as it is could easily have been overlooked if IGI 3 The Mark
delivered a decent shooting experience, but it doesn't. This is a game that
makes the act of shooting a gun a chore. As you advance through each level,
you'll battle an almost endless stream of bad guys. Oftentimes the game
"surprises" you by having them pop out of corners and cut you down
without warning, but after the 20th or 30th such encounter, this gets old. So
you'll die a lot, memorize the location of bad guys, and then get past a choke
point on the third or fourth try. Getting through the game requires the
frequent application of quicksave and quickload, as well as having the
willpower to continue.
IGI
3 The Mark muhammadnavid.blogspot.com tries to mix things up by letting you
choose which hero to play as throughout the game. This lets you experience a
slightly different route through each level, but the differences between the
characters are negligible. You can also play the campaign cooperatively with
another player, though trying to find someone to play with online is going to
be very difficult but more on that later. If you're looking at the screenshots,
you may think that the game looks decent. Sure, there's a glossy slickness to
surfaces, and some of the environments look interesting. However, the game
falls apart when it's in motion and can cause eye strain because of the badly
selected color palette, the poor frame rate, the jerky animations, and the over
the top blur effect that you need to tone down to the absolute minimum to avoid
migraines. IGI 3 The Mark constantly recycles the same character models, so
each level basically has only three or four different bad guys, and you see the
same guys all the time. The level design also gets old fast, particularly in an
aircraft carrier where you have to open the door to compartment after
compartment and wage a firefight in each one. Things get particularly bad in
the aircraft carrier because the frame rate drops to a stutter on a high-end
PC. The sound effects are completely generic, but they're the best part of the
audio, as the voice acting is third rate, at best. After seeing this screen for
the 40th or 50th time, you won't care anymore that the evil ones win.
When
it comes to multiplayer, IGI 3 The Mark serves up the standard deathmatch mode,
in addition to the aforementioned cooperative mode, as well as a map control mode.
However, you'll need luck trying to find other players online. This isn't a
popular game, and considering the fierce competition for multiplayer shooters,
that probably isn't going to change in the near future.
IGI
3 The Mark isn't a humorous or fun game in any sense of the words. It's also a
tedious game that taxes your patience and your endurance. When you get down to
it, there are simply far too many other shooters that you can spend your money
on, and most of those will offer a more enjoyable and fun gameplay experience
than IGI 3 The Mark.
