Metal Gear Solid and Goldeneye 007 fans take note: you need this game. Sure, main character Jean-Luc Cougar has a silly name, but his covert moves and daunting assignment rival that of a better-known, suit-wearing spy. Winback: Covert Operations is one of those games--you know, the hyper-engrossing, atmospheric type that suck you in until the graveyard shifters' lunch breaks. As S.C.A.T. (Strategic Covert Actions Team) members, players must disable a rash of terrorists who've taken over a powerful laser satellite defense system capable of leveling large regions with one burst. Jean-Luc stealthily plunges into the control center, buried deep in a mountainside, lined with bad guys. This isn't a first-person shooter; the over-the-shoulder view provides plenty of screen space to plan each sneaky move, going for surprise attacks rather than all-out, bullets-flying action. Once the player learns the somewhat complex, though natural and intuitive controls, manipulating Jean-Luc becomes an unconscious act. The fluid combination of The Matrix-style moves is entirely impressive: nothing like slinking silently against a wall, somersaulting into the open, picking off a terrorist, and then rolling into a crouch behind a crate. Just beautiful. --Eric Twelker Pros: * Excellent player controls, though difficult to master * Nice animation * Well-paced storyline Cons: * Simple weapons * Camera often errant, getting stuck behind walls or at bad angles at the worst possible times * Game saves only after reaching checkpoints, resulting in frequent restartsRead full review
