The value story

Across all 86 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 7 weeks apart. $7.77 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 16 percent. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Call of Duty® 2 ($19.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 ($4.99, scores 64).

What players say

Its classic but has issues but that can be forgiven since it was the first one and it was made in 2003. Still better then Modern COD

Se siente prehistórico. Los níveles son en su mayoría bastante fieros y chatos. El gun play se siente tosco. No tiene una "historia" la verdad. Se ve remil oscuro y muchas veces es difícil ver los enemigos. Los níveles consisten en entrar a un área, que te oneshoteen, respawnear e intentar recordar donde están los enemigos para dispararles antes de que te one-shooteen de nuevo. Solo se lo recomendaría a un enfermo...
