Still Incredible

After getting some cursor drift in my initial download, I was prepared to be disappointed. However to the GoG staff's credit, within an hour of my initial installation a new download was available that fixed the drift and it's been working correctly ever since. This game takes me back to 1995 when I first played it again, how I couldn't get enough and needed to play just five more minutes. The open ended nature of this game is incredible, you can follow the main story arc, or not. You can deviate from it at anytime you choose, or follow it religiously. It's all up to you. This was one of the first games to ever offer this amount of freedom, and here 16 years later most games still don't allow it. The story arc was epic for it's time encompassing an easy 50 hours of game play just to finish it completely. The only thing I'm disappointed in is no Righteous Fire expansion, but I understand the licensing issues involved. Overall I give this 5 stars, the same I would have back when it was an original release. This is about the best $5.99 you could ever possibly spend.
