New York – January 16, 2003 - With just under one month to go until the February 14th launch of IGI 2: Covert Strike, gamers can today experience covert action IGI style with the launch of the single-player demo of Codemasters’ stunning stealth-based shooter. This standalone PC demo is now available for download from www.codemasters.com/igi2  

Also released for download today is all-new IGI 2 video entitled “Scope.” The video is available alongside the demo from www.codemasters.com/igi2

The IGI 2: Covert Strike playable demo calls for stealth tactics and sharp shooting skills.  The mission is set in a goldmine in the Carpathian foothills of Romania and casts David Jones as an IGI (Institute for Geotactical Intelligence) agent, investigating the theft of an advanced nano-technology device by an organized crime syndicate.

In the demo, players will infiltrate the main enemy compound through mineshafts from the foothills. A private security firm patrols the mining facility. A local mafia don backs the security firm and the security officers are not considered to be regular civilians - they are armed, and have instructions to shoot first and ask questions later.

The demo and video also showcases IGI 2: Covert Strike’s incredible visuals with detailed internal locations and massive outdoor environments with vistas rendered as far as the eye can see.  The fan base for IGI 2: Covert Strike has been growing massively in popularity since the Multiplayer Beta Test sessions began last November; even the invite-only Beta Test was a huge success attracting over 30,000 gamers, double the number expected.

Get the new IGI 2: Covert Strike single-player demo and new “Scope” video now, both available for free download from http://www.codemasters.com/igi2
