I can replay this game probably once a year and never tire of it. The simple joy of the bullet time mechanics, even in this original sludgy form, still hits. The story that I've always felt best described as taking itself just too seriously enough. The legendary James McCaffrey performance that chews the scenery just too much enough. I don't want them to ever remake it, but I guess Remedy needs money.

Four Stars.
