I had very, very fond memories of C:NR. Most of the time when I have fond memories of a game and decide to play it again, it doesn't hold up. This one is a rare exception. Sure, the control scheme is weird. The control scheme was weird in 1995, too. And yes, the FMV sequences are cringeworthy... but unless you were sleeping with one of the actors, the FMV sequences were cringeworthy in 1995, too. The important thing is, the gameplay is fun and fast-moving, the graphics hold up astonishingly well, and the controls are actually pretty damn effective once you get used to them again. Also, on a decent system the game launches in less than 10 seconds and saved games load in a flash. Oh, and don't forget to watch the newscasts on the TV in the Echo Base canteen after each mission. GOG, please bring on No Regret. And someone needs to revive this IP for the PC, pronto.
