This game made friendships for me. The couch co op, the vs modes, the everything. Unique characters, setting, the unusual darkness to its themes for the time, truly a vision. A core memory of my childhood, I miss it dearly.
This was my first game for the original xbox, my brother and I would play the hell out this game back in the day. There was something about the atmosphere and music that you don't get any more in these new games, I wish to play this one day with my kids.

i've played this with my brother, it was a fun and enjoyable game, i just dont know how to describe it, like the story was what got me sticking to it, and during that time the visuals and eveyrthing was like so new to me, and i think its also the first game that introduced me to third person shooter, i do wish this game would come back in gog, as i just wanna experience that feeling again, though even if my brother doesnt wanna play it anymore, atleast i get to somewhat finish the game as i never finished it after our original xbox broke
