Gaming Death to Spies: Moment of Truth Review

Death to Spies: Moment of Truth is an attempt to bring the freeform assassination gameplay of Hitman to the World War II setting. Unfortunately the concept is only half-baked, with thoughtless and lazy game design compounding boring graphics and a drab story.

Knife fighting in a phone booth.

my god its a new SPORT!

 

Sounds like you guys really liked it then at least we know for sure your not getting backhanders from 1C Publishing, maybe they should consider offering you one

+1 new Olympic sport 2012 me thinks!

 

Yea, it would go perfectly with the vertical poles .

 

lol i wonder if you encounter a SPY from TF2

ITS A SPY

 

Of all the games you could review, you review such a crap one that I have never heard of?!

 

Blame UK publishers not making review code for the really big titles, like Arkham etc, to me before I went to Cologne.

 

Well, that is one I would have liked to see review, but I can appreciate Cologne getting in the way of things.

Still, Fat Princess looks great, and I would much appreciate a review of that, not to mention Trials HD, Shadow Complex, Wolfenstein, Splosion Man etc.

 

Wolfenstein looks to be an average shooter at best, but will wait to see what bit-tech think.

 

There's only one of me you know!

We do have a review of Shadow Complex on the way, plus you can be sure that major titles like Wolfenstein and Arkham will get covered after this minor delay.

 

Good to know

It's not so much that I expect reviews of everything, I am just surprised that you reviewed a game that looked crap from the word go, when you could have done any of the ones I mentioned previously, except maybe Arkham and Wolfenstein. Fat Princess looks great, and I would love to know what bi-tech/you think of it. I find your reviews tend to echo my own opinions, so I find them very interesting.

 

Hmm...Now we should go tell IOI about this disguise thing!!

And the Facial thing too! I've always wondered what Hitman would look like if it was terribly done. This is it, although they do have some awesome features, well at least in the disguise department.

 

I don't think he liked it.

What's the nearest current equivalent to Project IGI?

 

Ugh. Ashamed to say I bought IGI, but what an utterly awful game that turned out to be. Equivalent to that? Conspiracy Island 2: Code of Honour, maybe? I reviewed that a while back on the site (can't be bothered to find the link). I was astonished to see an advert for Conspiracy Island 3 at Cologne too.

Speaking of which, they had a few playable booths of Death to Spies at Cologne, mostly empty, but I did strangely see two or three people actually enjoying the game by the looks of it. Seems the strangest game ever to go and sample for an extended period in the middle of a trade show.

 

sounds like it's not worth a playthrough.. and frontline, wolfinstein has a demo out if you want to try it

 

Wolfenstein is awsome!
Don't expect ground breaking graphics but it's a great shooter.

 

Well, yeah, only better, obviously.

A good criteria is "cannot be played on a joypad". I should probably buy Arma, to be honest.
