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 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.
