This game is ok. The gameplay is average, but what really is good about it is the control. Most PS2 shooters could be very good except aiming is hard (example, Brothers in Arms for PS2, the PC version is great, PS2 is the same, except its really hard to aim IMO) but I find no problem with aiming in this game.

excellent

First off, how could you not like Cold Winter? The multi-player gameplay in this game is by far better than any game including Bond. Yes, I said it, COLD WINTER MULTI-PLAYER GAMEPLAY IS BETTER THAN BOND. The weapons in Cold Winter are very realistic and damagable. The explosives are also very realistic. Playing Cold Winter with 4 players is recommended but, again, multi-player is amazing with anybody in this game. One awesome ( and gross) part of this game is when you kill an enemy you can shoot a body part off them including their head, leg, etc. The only downfall to this game is that SOME of the levels aren't that good but most of them are very good and big. There is a variety of people you can choose your player to be in multi-player also. Regular single-player gameplay is also very good too. Bottom line: Cold Winter is a must-buy game.

A great underrated game

I got this game when it came out and thing it was only 20 bucks. I must say that this is one of the best FPS games I have played in some time. On-line game play is great also. The control and feel of the game reminds me of the old Goldeneye game on the N64. A must by on the PS2.

Sleeper Hit

I got a really good deal on this game so I wasn't going to be upset if it was a piece of junk. It turned out to be one of the better buys on games I've had. You are a British spy who was captured on a mission, but you are set free by a colleague to help save the world. Basic spy/James Bond feel to the story where you need to go in alone with limited or no backup support. There is an objective pointer to lead you to your next goal. Kill some bad guys; collect intel; gather materials to help make time bombs, poison bombs, and lock picks. Cold Winter is a pretty straight forward shoot 'em up on the surface, but they were trying different things to keep it fresh like the collection of items to make other weapons and tools. You can also shoot off arms, legs, and heads. There is a feature were you can overturn tables for cover if you wish. Pretty linear game which you shouldn't get confused on where to go hardly ever. The length is pretty short, but seems to be par for the course these days. It's around 10-12 hours to complete. There is on and offline mulitplayer which is a blast. It's a lot like Quake deathmatches fast-paced and small. Bad thing though is there aren't a whole lot of people online at anyone time. I've never gone online to see no games available, but it is usually limited to 2 or 3 eight player games. Small community of online players. Beware as well your save file will be a little over 2 megs to save your progress in the game. Good thing is you don't need it once your done unless you wish to unlock and save "elite" difficulty. You can go online without the save file, but you'll have to input your nickname and select your avatar each time. Other than those few issues its pretty fun and the multiplayer will keep your entertained for a while with all the different modes: deathmatch, team deathmatch, CTF, and a see who can hold the severed head the longest mode. That one is pretty fun. Cold Winter was a lot better than I had expect, but there is always a bigger fish. Check it out if you want a cheap thrill.

good game, bad online game play

Ok so i just beat this game about a day ago, and it was a pretty decent shooter. Its about a secret agent who gets captured in china and breaks out of prision to find some big conspericy, your usuall shooter story line.

It has decent graphics, not top of the line, nor do they suck.
The nice visuall part of this game is the rag doll affect. a guy blows up and he flies across the room like in real life.
It also has a nice particle afect. ie after a grenade explodes theres that smoke, debrie, and dust floating around.

The online gameplay is a real big let down though. Hardly enbody is on. when i was loged on, I think there was 30? players online. And this is a world wide game. this isnt a problem if you dont have brodband.

Other than that its a decent game. plays a lot like goldeneye,(N64s) and Half Life 2.
Cation though, this game is extremaly graphic. You can disemmemeber bodys, and there is extreme use of profanity.

A Pleasant Surprise

I rented this game without knowing much about it, and it turned out to be a gem. Cinematics and production value was beyond expectation. The sound design was superb. Gameplay/control was exceptional. Enemy AI is extremely realistic; they do a great job of evading you and using cover where possible. The available weapons/gadgets are satisfying to use. Overall a truly excellent game.

I'm not a developer nor am I associated with the company . . .

. . . but I highly recommend this game. I really don't understand why people complain about a game and don't justify their comments. Why would you not like this game? I dunno because it was one of the best first-person shooter games I ever owned. It was cool to shoot people's body parts off and see those parts lying on the ground. You can even shoot a dead body apart! And when you do a head shot, the blood goes everywhere! I liked the fact that extra health and ammo was plentiful even at the higher mission levels. There were so many types of weapons that it was hard to choose which to use. I rarely used hand-to-hand combat. The story was believable and the graphics were wonderfully detailed. I don't know which game the other reviewer was playing but it wasn't COLD WINTER. Go out and try it and if you like FPS games, you'll like this one; I guarantee it.

Manky Fingers!!!

This game is a pretty cool actioner with a nice variation of weapons and gadgets to use in your missions. The music is good and doesn't end up annoying you as you play through the game.
The sound effects are really good also and the graphics are quite stunning.
I found the dialogue pretty funny in places and when you get any swearing it's not just for the sake of it, it's always justified. Overall the game is a lot of fun to play, my only gripes would be that it's a little on the short side, and sometimes you tend to get a little bit of slowdown on screen, especially when a lot is going on, but it really doesn't detract too much from the gameplay.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes first person shooters as this is a bundle of fun, and if you can get hold of it cheaply, then you've got a great bargain!

Who would have thought?

Who would have thought this would turn out to be one of the most fun games I have played recently. I picked it up the other day because it was cheap. I was very surprised and have to agree with the other reviews I have read. It was a sleeper. It has a great story line, blood and gore, and plenty of bad guys to blow away. It could be compared to Soldier of Fortune for the PC as body parts get blown off of the bad guys when you shoot them. It is a great game, but don't let the young ones see it as it contains very harsh language and extreme violence. Should be rated R.

Graphics: 4 out of 5.
Control: Pretty easy to get used to.

Overall: Great unexpected shooter with the ability to interact with the environment to include flipping over items to make cover from enemy fire. I wasn't able to find any faults. Definitely a must have for any FPS fan.
