Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mechanics are pretty well-optimized, everything moves nicely, but sometimes soldiers hit the walls by accident (they go back to normal very quick, it just happens).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Storytelling felt a bit tighter, still not marvelous but definitely a step-up from the origin. 47 returning to contract work after being a gardener due to an unfortunate event gives the plot a stronger investment to see things through than having to drudge yet another assignment from the days of old.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each location feels distinct, supported by Jesper Kyd’s hauntingly atmospheric soundtrack that seamlessly blends orchestral and electronic tones.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics for the year 2002 are wonderful, the soundtracks are very enjoyable, the atmosphere varies from tunnels, buildings, cities and even more areas, also the countries vary, such as Russia, India, Sicily, etc.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music is solid, the audio design holds up, and you unlock weapons as you go, which is a neat throwback feature.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
3 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They are well optimized, and they are wonderful even on budget computers.
