Why does this get so much attention?
Back in the days, when this was new, everybody was talking about it. The breathtaking graphics, the groundbreaking level-design, the hilarious gameplay and the innovative weapons. Praised by critics! As a shooter fan, I needed to play this! The graphics looked good back then, but were still crappy. Whenever I found a key (or got respawned), I asked myself: "Geez! What kind of abomination is that supposed to be? A mean caricature of a native american? Oh, it's just the character I'm playing...."Everything looked washed out and mushy. Crucial items weren't visible, the backpack for example. I found it by accident. And the distance fog didn't make it better. Indeed, that was due to technical limitations, but still, it simply didn't look good. The level-design was just confusing, nothing more. Something gave you the feeling, have you done everything you were supposed to do? Are you at the right place? Discovered everything yet? Can you finish the level? Are there still things to do? And sometimes: Please, let me finish that level (or at least reach the next checkpoint), I'm sick and tired of it and want to quit! The weapon design wasn't special at all. It was...well...weapons...I guess? An extremely annoving aspect was, that there were two kinds of ammo. The basic and the improved version. And you couldn't swap. Sometimes you had to waste the good ammo for weak enemies and eventually found yourself confronted with strong enemies, only with weak ammo left. Why? Despite many fps games are repetitive but still fun, this one is just repetitive and repetitive and repetitive Everything looks the same, all enemies behave the same, the soundtrack is an endless loop of whatever kind of music that's supposed to be and you have no idea what are doing Still want to try? Wait for a discount and dont pay any more than 2 bucks. It simply isn't worth it.
