Product Description

Cold War follows the story of Matt Carter, a freelance journalist, who finds himself in the midst of an international conspiracy that aims to control the U.S.S.R. Twelve hours after arriving in Moscow for a routine story, Carter has been stripped of all his possessions, beaten unconscious and thrown into the KGB’s political prison. Using only recovered weapons and improvised gadgets, he must now evade or overcome elite Soviet forces and defeat the conspiracy before he is sent to a Siberian prison camp or killed.

I purchased this game for my father and he couldn't get it to work. I tried getting it to work on several PCs bother old and new and it would not run. I contacted Technical Support via e-mail and they responded and asked for more info. I gave them everything they wanted and I never heard back from them. Great company!

So, although it appeared via the packaging to be a good game. It's not. It doesn't work and the lousy company, Dreamcatcher, doesn't care! Buyer beware!

Everyone who has ever played game like e.g. Thief must be absolutely happy - this game is old good Garrett but in modern times. Above all the atmosphere of this game makes it top rated product! And carefully formulated movement of main hero is simply perfect. Gadget development really has surprised me. This game runs smoothly even on slower PC than recommended as the minimum configuration, I have no any problem with graphics, stability, memory...only problems you may have is when you play on pirate copy! So if anyone cry about unstability of this game then you can bet on the fact he does play pirated game...I can only recommend this masterpiece to play! Good luck in Russia!!!! Milo)

At first I thought it was just the demo but I tried to play the full version and it did the same thing. I kept getting "Not Responding" errors right before trying to play the first level over and over until I just had to uninstall the game. This game also loads StarForce protection drivers onto your computer. Some people have had terrible problems with these drivers. Dreamcatcher has virtually no support on this game too, just updated Starforce drivers. You're taking a real chance with this game if you buy it, beware.
