Project I.G.I. (released in North America as Project I.G.I.: I'm Going In) is a tactical first-person shooter video game. It was developed by Innerloop Studios and released in December 2000 by Eidos Interactive.[1] The game received mixed reviews due to shortcomings including a poorly programmed A.I., lack of a mid-game save option, and the lack of multiplayer features. However it was praised for its sound design and graphics, thanks in part to its use of a proprietary game engine that was previously used in Innerloop's Joint Strike Fighter.

It was followed up in 2003 by I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike.

A prequel titled I.G.I. Origins was announced by publisher Toadman Interactive in 2019 and was to be released in 2023.[2]

EKK captures Jach and orders Jones to be killed, but Jones escapes and crosses the border and is rescued by a chopper. He hijacks the train carrying Jach, but EKK derails the train. Jones and Jach escape by a chopper sent by Anya. Jones gets orders to retrieve the warhead and terminate EKK. But he discovers a broken warhead (used to make a nuclear bomb) and fails to kill EKK as she escapes. Then he infiltrates the nuclear base where EKK planted the bomb. Jones kills EKK ,and Anya defuses the bomb.
