I've been playing this game on and off since it was first released. I have the CD version and this. I would highly recommend this game especially at the price it is now. It might look old and at times play a little clunky but gameplay wise its great. I use a mod called gentleman of fortune and it greatly enhances the experience with new models and options that gives you much more freedom to customise the way you...
I was looking forward to playing this after finding it on steam. Brought back some good memories. Unfortunately about five hours into the play a software bug stopped the character from progressing. I requested a refund from Steam but never heard back from them. Very disaapointing both in not beiong able to play the game and in steams nil response.
