What players say
The problem isn't that the game is bad; the issue is that it requires time and effort to get it running properly. Given the situation, just download a PS2 emulator and play it that way.
Marc Eckō's Getting A Headache 3/10 This game is a clunky mess, even for 2006 The soundtrack is terrible, the graffiti the player gets to do is terrible, and the combat and movement are terrible. Where this game thrives is its early mission environments, very gritty, very nice feel. If you want to play this game you have to mod the control config to do anything. Needs a polished sequal
Overall a great game for its time but the steam release is straight up garbage and unplayable.
