What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Less than a coffee and it'll be there forever in your library to play whenever, so for value it's easily worth it today if you can stomach the old graphics style.
It has the best soundtrack in the franchise, featuring Iron Maiden, if you restore it with a patch, with improved gameplay that maintains the original essence.
These elements combine to create a gameplay loop that is as entertaining as it is chaotic.
This game truly needs full controller support for true maximised gameplay as using a keyboard could prove extremely hard than you people think.
The single player campaign can either be too hard or too easy depending on the way you choose to play, but a cast of difficulty modes would have worked better.
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. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
