[edit] Reasons for Criticism
- Poor AI--the player can stand directly in front of an enemy and the enemy will not shoot (this has been debunked as a glitch)
- Minimal plot
- No ammo pickups
- All guns make the same sound
- Only eight levels
- Only eight weapons
- The player's inventory can hold only 2 guns at a time
- All enemies share the same skin
- Very few controls, been reported that jump and crouch are the most advanced controls in the game.
- Bland artwork
- Bland missions
- Music stops and starts at specific times
- It takes ten shots to defeat someone with the handgun.
- The player has to throw knives more then shoot guns
- Textures are only partially solid, opening up several ghost worlds
- Rather than voice acting, text boxes have been substituted.
- Graphics are of Nintendo 64 quality at the time of the "3D breakthrough"
