Impressed
I got this for free and spent an hour or two playing it. I gotta say, for what I played, it's very good. It came out in 2001 but feels more like a game from around when HL2 came out. Enemy variety is a cut above, everything serves it's purpose and you need to be smart about what weapons you employ to take them out. It's like doom except you can't just sidestep every enemy to win. The AI is smarter than that.

Sam I am!
One of those early 2000s FPS titles for the PC that made me fan already the first time i saw it being presented during a german games show called GIGA Games which was the first time i ever got in contact with a modern FPS game in the tradition of old DOS 3D shooters that had hordes of enemies and a not so important (but not unimportant) backstory. The whole game really lives through its not-so-serious presentation and humorous enemy design. Yelling headless freaks with bombs instead of hands, running towards you in masses or jumping skeleton kangaroo freaks, slimy toads, giant Bio-mechs, one eyed meatballs with arms.... and so on and so forth. And if you are not a fan of red blood, you can change it to green or even change it to flowers without any blood what so ever. The so called Hippie Mode. Weapon-wise the game also throws all sorts of things at you to shoot at these hordes of enemies with. One of the biggest fun factors of this game is the co-op mode which i often played with a good friend of mine. So you can basically play & finish this game by yourself or with a friend. If you just want a shooter without too much story or complicated gameplay mechanics and just want some "brain out" fun, this game is the right thing for you. Even today this game plays pretty well and hardware requirements are laughably low. So if you plan on playing it on more dated hardware, like laptops from around 2006/2007 or so, this game would still play great on low-end hardware.
