As a new CIA operative, you've been called to Washington. Apparently a Russian candidate for president was assassinated (read: shot) while giving a public speech. Can you uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest level of government (both US and Russia)? Spycraft is a video-adventure that involves quite a bit of puzzle-solving. With input from ex-head of KGB and ex-head of CIA, the scenario is frighteningly authentic. You choose your actions from what is available on screen. You will need to collate large amount of information, and pick out certain patterns that will lead you to what you need. You are helped along by your trusty PDA which highlights the areas to be investigated (i.e. puzzles to be solved) and keeps track of relevant facts. It details the attempted assassination of the President of the United States and the CIA and SVR attempts to save him. Although the game was not approved by either organization, it tends to favour realism due to its coordination with former CIA director William Colby and former KGB Major-General Oleg Kalugin. You won't go unprepared, though: to prepare for the assignment, you get the espionage boot camp at the CIA training facility, The Farm in Langley, Virginia. Lead a team of special forces, carefully study satellite photos, intercept radio communications, conduct ballistics analysis and operate a computer-based suspect identification tool - all exercises are based on actual CIA covert ops training procedures. Master the tools of a CIA operative, surveil double agents and intercept radio transmissions to infiltrate a web of rogue spies. It has unrivaled production values: stunning computer-generated graphics, 35mm film, actual CIA footage and dozens of Hollywood actors portray the danger and intrigue. | ||
