Fun, but flawed.

There's quite a lot that this game gets wrong, especially by today's standards, but if you can get past all of its flaws you find a pretty fun game. The most glaring fault of the game and the one that bugged me the most is the fact that enemies in the on foot levels have a sort of prescience and lightning reflexes. They know where you are before you even see them and they will shoot your head off the moment they see even one pixel of it. Add to this an odd critical hit system where both the player and the enemies can randomly score criticals and you've got yourself one of the most unwieldy and random FPS experiences ever. The majority of the game just consists of quicksaving before every corner, getting shot by the three dudes waiting for you before you can even blink and then reloading and pressing the fire button before even rounding the corner so you get the drop on them. Luckily the enemies get stunned when they get hit by a bullet so it's easy to do crowd-control with automatic weapons. Then there's the levels you spend in your mech which usually take place within a city and honestly aren't that much different in gameplay from the on-foot levels except both you and the enemy can take way more punishment before going down. These levels are somewhat fun if only because of the arsenal you have at your disposal. The story in the game is rather uninteresting and very self-aware, one particular quest involving a cat is the highlight here, and that's not as bad as it sounds. The humour can be very hit or miss, but it got a chuckle out of me now and again so I guess it did its job. The game looks very dated by today's standards, but it's not ugly. The art does a good job of keeping the game from looking too hideous and aside from the low-poly count it really looks fine. I'd recommend this game if you're in the market for an old-school shooter. It's not the best of its kind, but I believe it has enough content and entertainment value to stave off a weekend of boredom.

A less-known classic

As you might have read in some of the other reviews, the game isn't without its flaws. The critical hit system is completely random and makes the on-foot missions somewhat frustrating if you're not careful, the A.I. is absolutely brainless (both for the enemies and your companions), and some bugs will occasionally lead to cheap deaths. Honestly, though, my biggest gripe about this game is that it's too short. In the end, though, the most imporant question is that whether it's fun or not. And for me, the answer is most definitely YES. I always found it interesting that the game lets you do stuff any ordinary FPS would consider a mission fail. For example, instead of forcing you to reload a save when you start killing NPCs, it lets you figure out on your own that you either can't progress or you just unknowingly followed a different path in the storyline. And yes, there are multiple endings. The anime aesthetic is definitely unique and blowing stuff up in the middle of a city as a giant mech never gets old. The aforementioned critical hits make the on-foot levels a bit worse but once you learn to play it safe, it's not so bad. These levels are still a treat to play thanks to the satisfying gore and selection of weapons that all feel fun to use and fire with punchy sound effects. And with great sound desing also comes awesome music which is both appropriate for the game's theme and it creates a nice atmosphere. I'll admit that I have a big nostalgia for this game and playing it takes me back to these long nights when I only remembered that I was playing for too long when daylight started pouring into the room. But for any fan of retro shooters, this game will still be a curiosity and I guarantee that you'll have a good time playing it.

Easily one of my favorite FPS'

Combat is satisfying and they handled the whole Mech thing better than nearly any other game has done. From the weapons the the scaling of scenes and battles, there is just something very satisfying about being on a battlefield with tiny humans trying to shoot you while you just casually stomp them, or run them over in "vehicle mode." On foot, the story is the same. The guns are fun to use and the sense of scale for an area is satisfying. There is a tiny bit of platforming that can get a little irritating, Not because it's tough or anything, it's just that kind of "one small move..." type of problem. And once you beat the game (or before you do, that's on you) you can go through it again, either for the optional ending or using the "tiny mech" cheat, which forces your on foot character to be the mech, complete with the same guns as the mech that deal the same amount damage. It's a fun way to blast through the campaign a second time, like some kind of god-tier human wrecking ball. The only thing that's shit about this game is that it was meant to be part of a trilogy and it never got the sequels it deserved. Part of me still holds out hope, though. If only it had launched in say, January 1998 instead of Autumn, around the time of HL1.

Pretty much unplayable on modern pc's

The game requires a ton of fixing to actually work properly, and even if you manage to fix it the game still crashes ALOT. It's ashame because the game is honestly pretty decent. Unique setting, and art style, good gunplay, and for it's time the graphics were not bad. The voice acting can be laughably bad at times, but I buy these sort of fps games for the gameplay. Overall I strongly suggest NOT buying this if you have a modern PC, but if you have a older PC I say give it a try.

Doesn't work

Tried everything, no full-screen and mouse goes crazy (W10). Edit: well it runs in W11, but always with a strange white bar at the top of the screen?
