Product Description

Product Description

In a world ruled by corporations, dirty work is left to the professionals. Enter Blitzstrahl, a crack military team that carries out such tasks as stealing art, information gathering, or counteracting rival agents for its corporate clients. You're the head of Blitzstrahl, a team of seven agents, each with his or her unique abilities. You must manage their efforts in a series of missions that will take them all over the globe.

In Industrial Spy: Operation Espionage, you control these agents remotely--four at a time--by viewing their simultaneous actions and directing them through menu selections in each agent's pop-up window. Agents can move undetected through rooms, hack into computers, pick locks, and fight. As they gain experience and hit points, they'll be able to do even more. There are 10 stages to complete, but to be successful you'll have to manage your agents' abilities and keep them working as a team.

This review is from: Industrial Spy Operation Espionage (Video Game)

A refreshing change of pace from the usual console game fare; however, I don't think this game is for everybody.

If you enjoy games that require you to think your way through a problem, then you might want to check this out; stealth, speed and wits are more important than firepower.

The interface is a little awkward, but I was able to adapt to it fairly quickly. Graphically, the game is well done, but doesn't even begin to stress the abilities of the Dreamcast; this is no SoulCaliber!

In short, this is a thinking person's game; if you enjoy your action served up fast and furious, then this may not be for you.

i've read at least 10 reviews of [Industrial Spy], and every single one of those authors did NOT enjoy this game at all. This fact made me very reluctant to play the game, but since I'd already bought it - i thought i might as well try it.

It would be an understatement to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this game!! ^^ It was very mind-challenging (although sometime a bit too tedious) and had excellent character designs. Unlike many other games I've played, this one actually made me think. hard. ^0^~ Gameplay is easy and quickly understood, and it is quite interactive. :)

the cons of this game are the poor sound/background effects. Although the character designs are gorgeous, the same thing cannot be said for the 3-dimensional figures: they really could have added more detail and been more careful with the body shapes.
Sometimes, it is hard to control the characters; for instance - if 2 characters collided into eachother, and they would continue "running" into each other, as in LITERALLY running..`` ^^`. You would have to waste a few precious minutes (each game has time limits), trying to get them back on target. (did this example make sense...``??)

overall, i think the plot and style of the game really outshone everything else. I probably won't ever want to play the game again, but it was a LOT of fun while it lasted. ^^

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, This game had almost everything going for it. Ok graphics, great strategy, EXCELLENT character design.But, you know what? This game is bad. The frustration started about half way through the level. I had a kid agent with bad fighting skills. It was about half way through the mission (1 hour) and the agent (the kid) ran into a guard and died. I mean COME ON! How stupid is that!? Anyway, if you really like strategy (or your bored) at least rent ISpy.
