Its obvious from the reviews I am seeing posted here that there is little love for this game and my guess is this franchise. After all, what is there to love about this game? Setting aside any political differences people may have, the graphics did not age well (nor were cutting edge at the time of their release.) The gameplay was also a bit archaic. The story? Well, lets face it. Its atrocious. Why even bother publishing the game then right? The one saving grace this series had was its co-op. I am not saying it was the best co-op ever published. I am not saying that the co-op will even stand the test of time. But this game came out at a time where co-op was a pipe dream for most developers...a wishlist item at best. For that reason alone I played this shooter over other more eminently qualified shooters. I am not saying this will forever be a classic. But I do think it qualifies for "Good Old Games" classification for the same reason everyone puts "007: Goldeneye" up for classic shooter status: at the end of the day it was fun with friends.
