It really is. Shame the developer went under. One of the only GTA type games I really enjoy, actually enjoyed it more than any of the GTA games that I played.

I couldn't get into it. I'm not sure why.

this generation: Witcher 3, XCOM 2, Alien Isolation, Horizons, Super Mario Maker
360/PS3: Last of Us, GTAV, Mass Effect series, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout 3
PS2/Xbox/GC: RE4, Half Life 2, FEAR, KOTAR, Company of Heroes (tail end of this generatio but released prior to PS3)

After that...no idea. Just Half Life! Oh the best MP game of all time TFC and TF2.

The combat system takes getting used to. I died a lot early, and even later on when everyone had guns.

Once you get the hang of it, it's awesome. I could do nothing but hunt bases for an hour and have a good time.

Dragon Age Origins & 2
Mass Effect 1 & 2
Batman: Arkham Asylum & City
Hitman 2017 & Absolution
