This game is my all time favorite. I played it for hours on end as a kid, barely able to make it through missions, not being able to do stealth runs. It was the game where I had the joy of experiencing getting good. Playing tactical dress up with the create a character, reading the scuffed and sometimes made up descriptions of the numerous weapons. It was the best. My biggest regret is not being able to go online way back in the day, but modern emulation and fan servers have helped that now. It's truly a shame that this was the black sheep of the franchise that ultimately changed the course of the games (for the worse imo) all because you weren't the titular Gabe Logan and just a create a character. If it had done better we probably would've gotten the sister game to this that ran parallel with the story, rather than the PSP games we know. It would be amazing for this and the other games to have a release here, while the numbers will be small and Bend Studio might be under the water at this point from cancelling that live service game, hopefully this will cause a proper trilogy remake somewhere down the road, and then maybe even a remake of this game.
