Summary:
Winback is a fresh idea with a few problems that comes through in the end. It has some syphon filter, but with better graphics and moves. It has a little bit of MGS, mostly the 3rd person view. I don't see why people are comparing it to goldeneye, the only similarities are it has guns and it has the same plot. To me the two games seem like night and day, mostly due to the changes caused by the 1st and 3rd person views. If you like a game with movie-style action this may be for you. The characters can be pretty cool if you pay attention to detail, for example, the main badguy packs a Desert Eagle like the agents in the matrix. I thought that was a nice touch, a good bad guy needs a mean gun. Dan, my favorite turncoat character, has a beretta 92, also fitting since he seems to have an aura of control around him, like a cop. A lot of cops around here carry the same.

Summary:
Okay, it's a very simple summary. Take the problem of GoldenEye (the satillite that's going to hit somewhere), and your average Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter type of game. Mix all together (add in a bad camera, and bad movement) and all together you have Winback in a nutshell.

Summary:
Overall i have to say this is the best game i have ever played on any console. I dont think i have ever gotten into any ohter game as much as this one. Goldeneye as good but were its movment of charcaters and originality og game play WinBack was way better. I have played metak gear solid i found that almost up here but i could never get addicted to it like i can this. Unlike goldeneye there werent 2000 guns and 50 explosives to choose from, instead there were a hand gun, hand gun w/silencer shot gun, machine gun and a rocket launcher. Unlike Bond u acually did need to use certain guns at certain times. It made it intersting to find out different and easier ways to beat the levels. And i thought the funnest part of the whole game was getting the "lethal shots" it makes it seeem so reall. I jus cant stop talking about this game

Summary:
A good story and nice graphics are a great way to start off a game, however, things can go terribly wrong from there. Winback is the prime example of game that should have been good, but instead ends up as useless crap.

Summary:
First of all when my friend told me this game was like MGS, I didn't think that could ever be possible since that game was so unique and well represented. When I played it, expecting it to be like Mission Impossible, I was stunned! The graphics were amazing, and if Winback: Covert Operations and MGS got into a fight, Winback would whip the crap out of MGS. hell yeah!!!
