 Rating:  - I am one of few how really enjoyed playing this vintage gameA game created in the 1999 for windows 98 only and it has this great looking 3D characters and most of all it has one of the best story lines ever. the idea of the game is crazy. I am looking forward for the Playstation 3 version of this game. Rating: - A bit dated, but still funFirst things first: For owners of Windows XP, this game will not immediately work.

Rating: - Great game - a mustThis game took me by surprise. I didn't know how to handle this strange mix of adventure-game, roleplaying and action-game at first. Once I got the hang of it, I couldn't let go. What a fine game this is. It's breaking new ground with the mix of styles, and I certainly praise the makers for this. It's an immersive, breathtaking experience, sure to provide long evenings, long nights even. There's plenty to discover, as in a good adventuregame, and there's some figthing and shooting to do as well. There are ... Read More |
