“Playing this game as a stealth shooter makes this game much more fun, visually stills holds up but the gunplay itself can feel a bit 'light' in feel.”

“Incredibly good fun, action packed. Just remember to go into your gfx card panel and edit the game for unlimited frames. Or buy the remastered edition.”
