![]() Set before the previous game, the player controls a woman this time around attempting the same type of suicidal missions as in the first one. The enemies take a lot of lead before finally succumbing, a big change. The enemies tend to ambush the players more often in this game and are just a bit more intelligent than in the first game. The graphics suffer from simply being on such an old console. Polygon clipping is the norm and big, nasty pixels rear their ugly head at every corner. Though a few smaller details are present, nothing stands out as being spectacular. On a side note, this is one of the best games to put into a PS2 to see the difference its texture smoothing option can make.
The games only downfall? It plays almost exactly like the first game. Nothing new has been added to enhance the gameplay and it ends up more like an add-on disc. Technically, this really isn't a bad thing, but after logging many hours on the original, this one may seem to be a bit too much. While this is a definite must play, the original is now a bit cheaper. Since there is little difference between the two, it's down to a personal decision. Either way, you're getting one great game and the best first person shooter to ever grace the console. |
