The Good Old Days
Covert Action requires a lot of reading. And you also should be open for very much differing parts of the game! Some people may be repulsed by that. But if you're not, you'll find a true masterpiece!

I do not want to give away too much in this review, since being an agent is all about finding information… So if you feel you have what it takes, then start playing. You will see that there is a lot more to the game than what I have included in my review.

Power Play
Beim ersten Einbruch zittert man: Macht die Wache die verdammte Türe jetzt auf oder nicht? Da pumpt das Adrenalin, Max drückt sich mit gezückter Knarre and die Wand, und der Spieler hat schweißnasse Hände. Das Agentenflair ist gut eingefangen; die ersten Sitzungen bringt Covert Action auch eine Menge Spaß. Man ist gut damit beschäftigt, Oberbösewichte, Organisatoren und Handlanger zu verhaften, was sich als nicht einfach herausstellt und einige Übung sowie Grips braucht. Auf Dauer wird das Spiel allerdings eintönig, da sich der Ablauf "Suchen-Einbrechen-Verhaften" doch sehr wiederholt.
