What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
In conclusion, Rise of the triad : Ludicrous Edition is something to definitely have in your library, both as a retrò gamer, nostalgic fan or someone that just adores good ol' FPS game.
What's the good stuff: The best part by far is the soundtrack which is so great.
*Missing multiplayer maps (There may be a less than ideal workaround for PC users but not for console players, so you are limited to about 10 maps for cross-platform MP instead of the ~70 MP maps that were available in previous versions).
Not because the graphics were all that interesting, it's mostly greys, browns and reds.
It also has restored characters and game content not available in the original release, alternate weapon SFX (because some hated the original SFX), online multiplayer, controller support, mouse and keyboard rebinding, a level editor, and a new episode.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
