What players say
A very fun game, that has aged quite well, with simple yet quite challenging gameplay, and an interesting story. This game has quite a distinct charm to it, with a very nice look. I will admit the checkpoint system can be incredibly unfair and unfun at times, causing me to have to replay rather large sections, but other than that I have no major complaints. Something I definitely suggest checking out.
A first-person shooter where you play as a mysterious commando, set to a dynamic noir-inspired soundtrack, a joy to play again and again. One of the most iconic cel-shaded games of its generation, reminiscent of comic books XIII. A game with a good story that can be completed in under 10 hours. Don't waste your time playing the remake; the best version is still the one developed by Ubisoft Paris.
