100% certifiable hood classic. The banger to end all bangers. Any reviews less than five stars are based on the horrible decisions made by the publishers rather than the game itself. This is, without a doubt, my favorite game of all time. The writing is brilliant and hilarious, complimented by the top-notch voice acting. Do not play this if you only like bad games, because you will be disappointed.
This game nails exactly what it sets out to do: it makes you feel like you're playing Hard Boiled.
The steam port is broken so I'm glad that gog managed to release a functioning port of this masterpiece. The Jackal is one of the most well-written and well-voiced antagonists of any game I've played, and the thick and oppressive atmosphere perfectly portrays war for what it really is: a nightmarish slog where those unlucky and poor enough go to die in mass for a cause that they either don't believe in, or were conditioned to accept through propoganda. Man, Ubisoft really knew how to tell a great story back then.
