Cold Winter isn't the best in its class, but it's definitely worth playing if you're looking for a solid single-player shooter with a decent online component to back it up.

The controls are a bit sluggish when it comes to targeting and the game's load times are typical. The game is also a bit linear and the puzzles are not particularly detailed.

The unremarkable climax not withstanding, Cold Winter offers a consistently exiting Bond-ish shooting experience.
