Project I.G.I. (released Stateside as Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In) is a tactical First-Person Shooter developed by the short-lived Norwegian company, Innerloop Studios, distributed and released by Eidos Interactive in 2000.Players assume the role of David Jones, Former British SAS Operative, sent on an assignment to Estonia to track down an arms dealer who has knowledge regarding the theft of a nuclear warhead. Tracking the stolen weapon to an abandoned KGB camp, Jones inevitably realize he'll need to stop the warhead's activation and launch to prevent World War III.A sequel, I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike was released in 2003. David Jones is back, and investigating another superweapons theft; this time being a set of high-tech prototype EMP chips stolen from a US military facility and kept in a terrorist hideout somewhere in the Carpathian mountains. Jones' mission eventually uncovers the terrorists' deals with a rogue Chinese general who intends to use the EMP device to cause chaos and destruction, with Jones tracking the EMP device in missions leading to Libya, Russia, and China.I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike was noted for it's accuracy and realism, due to having former Special Air Service operative Chris Ryan as a consultant.A third installment, I.G.I: Origins, was announced by publisher Toadman Interactive in 2019, but so far no release date has been announced. | |

Improvised Zipline: In both games, most guard towers will conveniently contain angled ziplines from their sides, for Jones to slide across (if the player doesn't want to climb down) for a shortcut to another part of enemy base. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language: Due to the sequel's missions being more global in scale, more often than not the mooks will speak in whatever languages they're supposedly native to (Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, etc)… in thick, British accents. With the voice actors being clearly from the UK. More often than not their lines will seep into Welcome to Corneria territory. The "Chinese" guards in Wu Xing's base, for instance, have 70% of their dialogue limited to: | |

Actionized Sequel: Covert Strike has around triple the action, with loads and loads of shootouts, more mooks and the stealth-based missions from the previous game downplayed (they're still there, but not as frequently). It even throws in stages where Jones control heavy machine-guns and blows up entire enemy facilities. | |

The basement has a Shooting Gallery where terrorists are too excited testing out their new minigun on targets, to the point where they fail to realize Jones shooting their heads despite being in the same room as them. One can argue it's because of the gunfire drowning out Jones' shots, but the mooks are standing in a parallel line and well within each other's sight. | |

Jones managed to extract Josef, only for Josef to reveal the warhead is with his uncle, Jach Priboi, another arms merchant. Josef returns in the sequel as well to help Jones investigate the EMP device's theft. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Project I.G.I. (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: AI for mooks in the first game can get really bad at times. Jones can snipe a mook within the presence of his comrades, and as long as Jones' isn't spotted, other mooks will strangely ignore their downed comrade. Players as Jones can gleefully stay on top of a guard tower and take their sweet time picking away at enemies before climbing down. Enemy soldiers' corpses doesn't immediately disappear after they're sniped. Expect mooks entering a new area to mindlessly walk over a dead body of their colleague, without being suspicious. The basement has a Shooting Gallery where terrorists are too excited testing out their new minigun on targets, to the point where they fail to realize Jones shooting their heads despite being in the same room as them. One can argue it's because of the gunfire drowning out Jones' shots, but the mooks are standing in a parallel line and well within each other's sight. There are also parts where Jones gets into shootouts with enemies in a single area (without equipping silencers) and despite the gunfire, enemies in other parts of the base will be completely oblivious to the action. The only way to attract enemy attention is to trigger alarms, because the AI for mooks programmed them to respond only towards said alarm. Mostly averted with the sequel whose enemy AI is improved, though there are occasional moments. | |

Shoot Out the Lock | |
| Project I.G.I. (Video Game) / int_a6c99b08 | comment |
Shoot Out the Lock: Averted when it comes to locked doors, safes, and vaults. Jones needs to pick the lock, in a short cutscene where he's vulnerable to enemy mooks if any shows up. This trope only applies if Jones is attempting to bypass padlocked fences. It takes at least three shots if he's using his dinky pistol, though. | |

Useless Security Camera: Surveillance cameras in enemy territories (especially in the sequel) might as well not be there at all, what with a glaring, blinking light located right on them allowing the cameras to be spotted from a mile away. It's like painting a massive green bullseye for Jones to help him Destroy the Security Camera. | |
