8.6/10 I first beat this back in my xbox 360 days. But to be honest these older titles not only hold up well, but the gameplay is better than modern titles. And I truly believe that's not just nostalgia talking! I bought this tonight for less than $2. I mean it's crazy when you think about it. 40 hrs of gameplay for two bucks. You can't beat the price/entertainment value. Two notes before you install and get angry...
