What players say

The mechanics of this game are amazing the graphics are surprisingly good for its time i love the cover mechanics when you take cover you can blind fire the gameplay is perfect for its time my only one critique is the movement is blocky. wish they would remaster this and make the movement better and put the server back up

This one's a bit more colorful and brighter than the first one and the levels are a lot more varied. They also added the ability to sprint. 10/10 game

Maybe I just have rose tinted glasses but I remember this game being better as a kid. The glitchy sound is probably a result of it trying to run on a modern system but the busted ai that always know exactly where you are, even if they never actually see you or even if you enter a new area is an issue. That combined with the cheap enemy spawns that can kill you simply because you never get a chance to get back into...
