The game was generally not well received by critics. Probably because of this the game was banned in China, because it 'intentionally blackened China and the Chinese army's image'. At the end of the game, the protagonist David Jones is finally able to defeat him and stop the launch.
Xing orchestrates various events (such as armed robbery of advanced prototype technology from the Russian mafia) in order to get Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weaponry on a space rocket that he has launch control over. The game's plot features a rogue Chinese General, 'Wu Xing' as the primary antagonist. The box art is similar to the poster for GoldenEye. Chris Ryan, a former Special Air Service operative best known for being the lone successful escapee of Bravo Two Zero, served as a consultant to the game. The original, published by Eidos Interactive, offered only single-player play with no save game feature. It is the sequel to Innerloop's Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In. The game is a stealth-based first person shooter. I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike is a computer game developed by Innerloop Studios and released by Codemasters in 2003.
