Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow video game review of Velvet Assassin from SouthPeak Games for the Xbox 360 from April 2009. In Velvet Assassin you play as a female British secret agent during World War II with the gameplay revolving around your lurking in the shadows and undermining the Nazi regime in 1943-1944 Western Europe. I admit, even with my disdain for most period shooters, this one piqued my interest rather quickly. A semi-original storyline based off a real-life WWII British agent that didn't revolve around troop movements and taking out tanks with bazooka launchers. It deals with the grittier, darker side of war; sneaking cyanide capsules to captured double agents, infiltrating enemy strongholds and single-handedly sabotaging their oil lines or railways, and assassinating high-ranking officials in the middle of the night and having to escape undetected. This video game review features Velvet Assassin gameplay footage and commentary from CGR Undertow reviewer Ray.
