Death to Spies - Anyone played?

Metalface Mark · 15 Feb 2008 at 12:24

Anyone tried this game out?

It looks fantastic, i think it came out a couple of months ago, but did it get a UK release?

No one has played this? Im going into town to try and pick it up, it looks like hitman a bit

Sinny · 16 Feb 2008 at 13:18

Looks a bit like a reincarnation of Mission Impossible from the N64 days, was a great game.

I have a feeling this was released over here with a different name?!

Any ideas what it is so i can have a lookie?

I have found an online place that lets you download it for £14.99 which seems pretty good, but id rather have the physical disk and instructions.

If anyone is interested, this is on offer in the Steam sale for £9.99

This includes both Death to Spies and the sequel Death to Spies: Moment of Truth.

Both seem to be cracking games, seem to be true PC games without sounding too elitist.

Bought instantly due to some hitman comparisons, hope it lives up to it.

Gimpymoo · 1 Jul 2011 at 22:40

I am downloading now but have had my eyes on it for a while. Very highly regarded among those who have played it.

It's ok, lacks the polish of Splinter Cell.

Tempted by these games, is it as stealthy as Splinter Cell?

EDIT: Can you use a 360 controller?

No really, it's more shootery but you can complete most parts of it without firing many shots if you are patient enough. TBH SC are better stealth games, both funnel you down paths and through sets of "puzzles" that involve getting past dozy sentries in whatever way you like. I've not played the sequel, which is supposed to be better. I'd have been disappointed to pay full price for this but I picked it up for a few quid.

Have you played all the SC games ThundyCat?

Conviction was the second worst of the series

Get Chaos Theory if it's on offer.

May as well spend an extra fiver and get the 1C action pack IMO, unless of course you have most of those games:

Cryostatis
Necrovision
Necrovision Lost Company
Death Track Resurrection

Gotta get Chaos Theory mate, Conviction was pants! CT is best played very slowly and methodically. Taking guards out can be very satisfying

Just been checking the specs out on Steam. Windows 2000/XP does it run on Win 7 64bit OK?

Surprised by the Conviction comments. Co-op mode while on voice is totally amazing.

d_brennen · 2 Jul 2011 at 12:42

Aye runs on 7 64 no problems. IIRC it didn't want to do 1920x1080 but I could be wrong> Doesn't look too bad for its age either

HangTime · 2 Jul 2011 at 12:42

I couldn't get Chaos Theory to work/install(?) on Win7 64bit, the launcher moaned about unsupported OS. Steam version might be fine though, probably one of those really annoying programs that has a whitelist of OS identifiers and refuses to install even though the actual game would have run no problem.
