Loved it. A product of its time.

I think this game is great for the time it was made. It has a lot variety in gameplay. It has elements of stealth, parkour, and free roaming adventure. I think some people are annoyed by the combat, but I think the reason it's difficult is because it wants to force you to be stealthy. I personally like it more than the stealth in MGS or similar games. I feel like the genre of this game could be labeled as alternative. Like alternative rock. I can see the inspirations of certain aspects of the game, but it feels very unique.

Way To much hype.

The story is weak, the game play is weak. It may have been fantastic when it first came out but today it just looks bad compared to other games that came out at about the same time. Buy it if you want to see what all the hype was about, but that's all this game has. Hype.

Refreshing

Incredible combination when originality meets with quality. This is not nostalgia rating, playing it for the first time in 2024. The game is great, characters symphatic, dialogs nice and right amount of them, gameplay mechanics well built and fluent, game pacing just right, idea of building action platformer around photographing just genial, it really fits well. Only bit negative is maybe sometime vehicular camera but this can't offset my 5* rating not a bit.

Bad port

I absolutely love this game, but the PC port is just not worth the effort, especially on modern systems. It was a shoddy port that's only gotten worse with age. This game isn't designed for keyboard and mouse, and it shows. It feels so much better with a controller, but there is no controller support at all. So you're either stuck with the janky KB&M controls, or you can use software in the background to awkwardly hack controller support into the game, which is never ideal. There are some glaring graphical bugs on modern systems, such as flickering textures and effects, which can *sometimes* be fixed, but it's hit-and-miss. I was able to fix them on my old PC, but the same method doesn't work on my newer gaming laptop, so there's nothing I can do about it, and the game looks completely broken. I also experienced framerate drops today, which should NOT be happening with a game from 2003 playing on a 960M. If you have a PS3 or an Xbox 360, do yourself a favour and get the HD edition of the game that was released for those systems. It's undoubtedly the best version of the game which will give you the best experience possible. This is a wonderful game that deserves to played in a better environment. The PC version doesn't cut it.

Controls beyond good and evil

I get what people love so much about this game, what makes it an all time classic; the character and art design make sure of that, no question. And for that, I really tried to like the game. But alas, I don't, and it has all to do with the terrible controls and flawed game design. The camera and controls are -- excuse the pun -- beyond good and evil, and I don't think that's an exaggeration.. Espicially boat rides can be ridiculously frustrating. The game map is super not helpful; I spent too much time figuring out where to go and what to do. Also, there is quite some boring filler between story missions.
