No ,, so it can not have been ... ''

But how then? John Cord is necessary to remember. The British secret agent remains nothing else, because at the time he is being subjected to torture in the predicament of a megalomaniac, racist dictator and his sadistic henchmen. How could that happen anyway? Who told him?

To find out, he goes with the player on a journey into the past that begins in Volgia, a futuristic neosowjetischen State looking for an old friend of John and will lead him finally through a thrilling action up to this unfavorable starting point.

Cold Blood is what you could probably call unpolished gem. A jewel because it is Revolution Software has succeeded with this game to capture a truly outstanding thriller story to the screen and unpolished because small inconsistencies disrupt the game flow here and there and make their sum finally that overall a star is subtracted.

First of all, there is the camera. While John is always good to see it interrupts the game for a short time when John from one area moves to the next and this even in one and the same space several times does what well may cause a located just local opponents to even make if one has taken to deal with them with the game structure. Furthermore, a control sets the one or the other leg in the way, when during a contract expires, the set time limit and you yourself at least three precious seconds spends to climb a particularly stubborn director. Add to that one way or another graphic case in which one walks around as part of this load until the next in a single graphical glitches.

And yet, the game receives Reszensenten four stars? But yes! Because after a rather tough start (you have there to fight with a slight lack of planning) unfolds a as a player as I said a refined agent story with a wonderfully dark Atmossphäre, memorable characters (grows John one after an initial antipathy downright fond of) and can boast a slight hint of humor. Aside from the negative points, one can rightly say that the game for Adventure newcomers suitable, because the puzzle basically are not particularly difficult, with some logical thinking skills to solve and basically only serve the story weiterzutreiben rapidly.

Clearly a strong buy recommendation for all adventure fans, old hands as well timid newcomers.
