the controls are date and painfully so

i really remember this game being better than it is. The music and sound effects are played randomly and makes you confused as to where the enemies are and the guns sound bad. Controls are oudated and painfully so.

Is this helpful to you?

Strafe turning would make this a 4/5

an interesting game. the controls are really difficult to wrap my head around, seeing as my only experience with classic shooters of this ilk has always come with the ability to mouse look AND strafe at the same time. I think the atmosphere, music, look, and general feel is really nice but I hope that the re-release version (if it's actually on it's way) will be much more my speed. Definitely a good game but I need pacience to sit down and play this one.
