So when it comes right down to it, I love this game but it's got some serious failings. The graphics aren't that stable and the story is kind of...well, unimportant. But the opportunity to switch from running around and shooting stuff to hopping into motorcycles, torpedo boats or Russian bombers is well worth your time. It took me a while to get used to the controls, but once I did, it was a lot of fun. The game has some very well designed missions and perfectly captures the whole cinematic, war movie feel. It's like your very own Great Escape.

Codename Eagle is een Spec Ops kloon, maar kan door gebruik van uiteenlopende missies en het gebruik van voertuigen toch weten te boeien. Beschouw het daarom niet als een kopie, maar als een spel dat tussen de rest staat. Struikel je niet over de soms toch wel erg droevige graphics, en ben je iemand die van afwisseling en spanning houdt, dan is dit misschien wel een spel voor jou. Looks aren't everything!

Accrocs du genre, vous pouvez essayer Codename Eagle, dans le style de Rainbow Six ou Delta Force, mais beaucoup moins profond et moins bien réalisé, surtout pour les graphismes, tristes. Pour les autres joueurs, les "touche-à-tout", je pense que vous pouvez vous passer du jeu sans trop de regrets... Rabattez-vous sur la concurrence.

Zo mooi op papier, zo lelijk op je scherm. De gebrekkige en onevenwichtige gameplay haalt de bodem onder dit charmant opgezet game volledig weg.

Codename Eagle is a 3D action game in which you conduct espionage through huge outdoor environments. You start on foot, but you can commandeer any vehicle you find, from motorcycles, to tanks, to biplanes. It sounds like a great idea in theory and suggests that developer Refraction has created an evolutionary advancement of the first-person shooter. But in practice, Codename Eagle is a short, linear, and really goofy game that's much more frustrating than it is interesting.

Some ideas used here (especially the use of vehicles) might have provided a far better game. Unfortunately, publishing a half-assed product with poor graphics and lousy atmosphere blew this opportunity. I'm getting some strange flashbacks after playing this game... Mortyr anybody?

По этому адресу находится не только советская резидентура, в которую пастор Шлаг слал телеграммы от Штирлица, но и компания Refraction, которая всю эту пакость сотворила. Ну, честное слово, обидно! Из всех жизненно необходимых русскому человеку вещей (валенки, балалайка, водка), имеется только водка, да и то использовать ее по назначению не дают. Над царем нашим издеваются, Семен Иваныча (Буденного) без регалий изобразили, да еще мешают весь мир завоевать. Так что вот сижу и думаю, то ли войну Швеции объявлять, то ли в Tomb Raider пойти поиграть... Расслаблюсь, Ларису по подземельям погоняю, может, и подобрею.

Codename: Eagle bemüht sich sehr, an große Genre-Vorbilder heranzukommen. Es ist der erste 3D-Shooter, bei dem Sie auch in ganz unterschiedliche Fahrzeuge einsteigen können. Das ist im Solo-Spiel nicht so prickelnd, für den Multiplayer-Modus stellt es aber eine innovative Abwechslung dar. Auch die Grafik schaut sehr schön aus. Doch das sind auch schon alle positiven Aspekte. Gegner fangen aus 500 Metern zu ballern an, während ich durch die Landschaft schwebe. Als Laufen geht diese Fortbewegungsart bei mir nicht durch. Hinzu kommen Pop-Up-Effekte, eine flache Story und ein allzu simpler Spielablauf.

Codename Eagle succeeds in putting a new spin on Russian and world history. With this tale as a backdrop it endeavors to implement many new gameplay options. It's just too bad that in trying to be new, different, and exciting it only succeeds in being drab and playing like it's unfinished. What it needed was more time to tweak the interface and AI, thereby affecting gameplay. Codename Eagle is interesting from a hypothetical historical perspective but its gameplay doesn't warrant a recommendation from this reviewer.
