This thing is really cool. It goes over a whole bunch of different areas of being a spy, from bomb defusing to identification of suspects to sniping. Don't let the first area keep you from trying the others, I skipped around. I didn't do that great at most of them and just got "merit" but I got "distinction" for being a sniper at 94%.

I just got 100. :P Also got 100 on targeting, undercover, and identification, but I can't for the life of me get over 20% on safe cracking. I also suck at bugging and profiling.

I hated the sniping part.

I mean, Goddamn, their rifles can't drift around THAT much.

What, are they firing at a half-dollar sized target half a mile away?

Apparently, to get 100% on safe cracking, you need to get it right on the first try... After playing that type of game in various forms over 10,000 times, I've found that getting it in less than five guesses becomes less skill, and more luck. In other words, you have a 1 in 1296 chance of getting 100%.

The sniper simulation is also dumb luck... You have random drift, and random firing time. I just failed, after getting four perfect shots, because my aim suddenly drifted down, and the shot took about a full second to happen.

Fortunately, at least the "Undercover" part is fully skill... It wasn't that hard for me to get 100%, because I'm good at remembering things...

and i didn't even win! i know of folks who got 100% on the interception.....somehow....i gave up trying after about 30ish attempts, and if i could have been bothered i could probably have managed to get 100% on the profiling....

the others just needed a bit of practise, the only one i played an excess amounts of time was the interception because i knew of people who say you could get highier....couldn't be bothered in the end to finish it....
