Winback: Covert Operations

Overall this game is an above average effort on the PS2. Basically an enhanced port of the N64 sleeper, Winback: Covert Operations will fill the needs of espionage gamers until the full version of Metal Gear Solid 2 comes out this fall.

"While fans of the espionage genre will no doubt enjoy this unique take, the casual gamer will probably be better off waiting for the debut of Metal Gear or Syphon Filter on this console."

"When all is said and done, Winback: Covert Operations turns out to be a decent game."

"...aside from a few enhancements and extra modes, a carbon copy of the N64 incarnation... Winback plays very well... Koei seems to be heavily revamping the enemy AI for the game's PS2 release..."

"Anyone who has played WinBack on the Nintendo 64 has little reason to check out this graphically upgraded edition. For those who are new to WinBack, it will be a nice, stealthy diversion until Metal Gear Solid 2 is released later this year."
