I don't agree that this game's near perfect. It's excellent in many aspects, but in the end it's an FPS, and as such it sucks quite a lot. The controls/interface are as ambitious as disastrous; they belong to a desktop office application rather than an action game. If this were a pure FPS without the RPG elements or the story, it would be considered a calamity to be avoided by everybody.

I had already tried to play it a long time ago but I got frustrated in the second level. This time the same thing happened, so I've started a new game at low difficulty to see if I can enjoy the story.

I'm curious about the sequel, I can't find it for sale in GOG or Steam, only in Amazon Marketplace and overpriced. Anyone has any other link?

I think I'll add the info about the separate executables to the review, because I've been playing the floppy version for a long time before I realized. LOL

The intro is the coolest, my favorite of all time. Also the corporate policemen in it are very similar to the ones in Crusader No Regret (which came up a year later).
