Covert Ops is an interesting mix of two game styles, though the mix doesn't always sense.
Covert Ops' puzzles are easy to solve and seem geared to gamers who have never experienced a Resident Evil-type game.

 Covert operation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Covert operations are military or political activities that are not only clandestine (undertaken in a manner that disguises the identity of the perpetrators) but also covert, i.e.
Covert operations differ from espionage by attempting to influence events in another country rather than gathering information about it.
The best-known organizations specializing in covert operations today are the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Defense (The Pentagon) of the United States, but covert operations have been employed by many national and sub-national governments and other organizations for centuries, with or without a formal intelligence agency.

 Covert Ops Playstation Game Review in ABSOLUTE PLAYSTATION INTERNATIONAL
Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn is a 3rd person action/adventure title much in the same vein as Metal Gear Solid.
The sound effects and music contained in Covert Ops is certainly a good mix of both highs and lows.
On the plus side the voice acting is quite good, sound effects for all of the important things going on around you are in there and the musical score ebbs in and out at almost all of the right times.

 Matthew Yglesias: Hersh on Covert Ops
Re Matthew's point about the signifigance of the shift of covert ops from the CIA to the Pentagon, I agree that is a matter of great concern, since it could remove the fundamental check and balance of congressional oversight.
I think it's clear that there is a need for an increased focus on small-scale, largely covert action...The alternative is a counterterrorism policy that consists of invading whole countries but then letting the key leaders run away and hide, which isn't very appealing.
Covert operations in Iran that actually acomplish these goals are still going to get political attention.

The choice of covert operations instead of air strikes in administration planning reflected the serious downside associated with an overt attack on Iran.

 Command and Conquer: The Covert Ops review for the PC
Anybody who was a fan of the original C&C (OK, so who wasn't?) will love the fact that Westwood has tacked on another 15 scenarios, ten brand-new network-play maps, and seven more background music tracks to one of the hottest war games in the history of computer gaming.
