Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
It's a 2004 FPS game that runs perfectly in Windows 10.
45 of 164 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
As far as the gameplay itself goes, it's pretty good and there isn't a whole lot I can say about an FPS game especially a modern day militaristic one as you point the gun it shoots and it feels pretty good, but it does have some things I like and dislike I can tell you.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack, sounding like it was heavily influenced by Hans Zimmer, accents moments like these perfectly.
