Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
18 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
The story unfolds through full-motion video cutscenes that were revolutionary for their time, blending cinematic presentation with campy but memorable performances.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
And then there’s the soundtrack, one of the greatest in video game history, which sounds like Ministry crossed with Pretty Hate Machine era Nine Inch Nails.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
17 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
The missions are so cleverly designed and fun and they are the main introduction to all new cool stuff you are getting with the game's progression.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
I dig the style with the acted out cutscenes, pixelated graphics and the 90's futurismTM.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
8 of 241 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer, while basic by modern standards, was groundbreaking for its day, giving players the ability to test their tactics against human opponents and paving the way for the competitive RTS scene that would explode in the years to come.
