It's a well-designed stealth-action game with challenging gameplay and a compelling story -- it's too bad it only works once in a while. Read more
- Interesting gameplay and levels; well written and acted.
- Countless crashes, failures to load, and assorted technical problems; weak animations.

Any true reviewer-at-heart has to love a game where an unsuspecting journalist turned “most wanted” finds himself, framed as a secret CIA spy/assassin in the middle of a huge overseas government scandal armed with nothing Read more

Cold War is a stealth action game with international espionage and excellent game mechanics. This is more or less a replication of the Splinter Cell Series, which was wildly successful. Read more

Cold War is merely competent, and in a genre packed with classics, it's just not good enough. Read more
- Solid story, Gadget system is a great idea
- It's all been done before, and better, Graphics are too inconsistent

You wake up in a dark space. Your legs and arms tied to a crude object Russians refer to as a chair. You have been captured by the KGB, tortured, and are being pried into signing a confession of an assassination you had no... Read more

I don’t know what confidences a developer has that you will keep playing their game if they add in your Xbox Live friends list during gameplay but that is one of the special features here. Read more

The only “feature” the game pulls off with any grace is the X-Ray camera that you acquire early on. Using it you can look through walls and other solid objects and see what is on the other side – the graphical touches... Read more
- Looks nice, Has a few nice ideas
- Feels cheap, Never lives up to its potential

Cold War does a reasonable job of copying conventional stealth action gameplay while presenting a few twists and a story that's got some payoff at the end. Read more
- Decent stealth action mechanics, along with some neat gadgets to play with, Storyline keeps you guessing and throws in a few good surprises.
- Enemy artificial intelligence is predictable but isn't believable, Not much variety or interest in level design, Little lasting value.

A stealthy, well put-together budget title that will probably slip under the radar. Read more
