Pretty good shooter, corny. I was expecting it to be more gritty. But it's a little openish, but clear linear progression. Would recommend if you like old school 2000s shooters. :)

It's a classic game. I used to play it more, but I ended up purchasing the Reloaded version with this included and realized I liked living in an era of gaming that didn't remind me of the carnage of the 90s. Those trying to run this game on Linux systems, I bestow upon you THE COMMAND that makes it launch. At least on Ubuntu derivatives. MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2005 %command%

This is a FPS urban-themed game from 1999 (or possibly 2000?), think along the lines of DOOM or Quake but better. The single-player campaign is fun and great, though can be very challenging, especially at a higher difficulty. The multiplayer community is still active and plays different game modes to keep things interesting. I highly suggest playing for both single player and multi-player. Yeehaw!

I played this game as a kid when it was first released in 1999 & had a lot of fun back in those days playing single & multiplayer. This version on Steam is EXACTLY the same as that original 1999 version. With a few QOL updates & improvements thanks to mh's patch available on kingpin.info on top of the outdated official update to v1.21 (the most updated version available now) this game is ESSENTIAL for anybody who wants to experience the nostalgia hit of playing this classic shooter again in it's original unadulterated form. "Yo man, u got a dolla' ?" "Nah, I ain't got a dolla'" "Aye get back to me when u got a dolla' huh?"

This is a game that's stuck with me since its release in 1999. Its gritty atmosphere and immersive narrative pulled me into a world of crime and consequence. Despite its dated visuals, the game's intense gunfights and branching storyline kept me hooked. While challenging, navigating its maze-like levels was a small price to pay for the satisfaction of exploring its dark urban landscape. It's a title that still holds up today for its unique setting and gripping gameplay. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3258127623 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3258668954
