A rip-off at any price

The controls are impossible. Small wonder they never produced the promised sequel. Stay away from this one at any price.

A great game everyone forgot

I picked this up not long after it came out and had a blast playing it. The storyline is really good and the action is near non-stop. I really expected a sequel but it's like the game just vanished from everyone's radar as fast as it came out. I guess really it's biggest flaw is that it's not gruesome or bloody, I mean I don't find that to be a flaw, but I know lots of people that think if the violence it's 100% realistic then the game isn't any good. Regardless, I liked the game, you most likely will as well.

Amazing

It had one of the most amazing stories, most beautiful music and colourful atmospheres present in a game of its time and class. Yet how it has never got a sequel astonishes me still, perhaps the lack of marketing forced it into a niche market. If you haven't played it yet try it, it won't disappoint.

A Dissapointment

Ah....I remember this game. Tons of hype around it, the beginning of an epic trilogy. I pre-ordered it, had the highest hopes for it, but it just...sucked. I can't even remember why it sucked, in fact there's nothing memorable in this entire game. I'm not interested in going back and reliving why this game was so sub-par and both sequels were cancelled. It's a generic third person shooter, the story didn't really suck, but it was simply OK. Nothing to see here. If it wasn't good then, I don't see how the age could have made it any better.

Favorite games

This is one of my favorite game. I still remember it. It's rare for me. I don't really like old games and I'm not playing old games. But. It's not the case! Gameplay, Drama, Music - everything still perfect.
