Posting a positive review to balance out the guy who called this a Half-Life clone but turned off comments because criticism hurts feelings, I guess. This pioneered destructible environments, has a completely different plot, takes place on a completely different planet, uses different physics, and incorporates vehicles for both land and water. If by "clone" you mean "FPS that also had similar era-specific graphics and era-specific FPS control feel," sure buddy, it's a clone.

Reminds me of Half-life. Good classic game, though it has some unpatched bugs, I'd recommend getting Apline Faction if you're planning to complete whole game.

Half-life clone. Was obviously good enough that it got it's own little series. I have some memories with guerrilla on the PS3. Won't be returning to this one, just too old for my liking. Perhaps, some peak for the uncs??

WERE IS ACCUSED BY DAN WENTZ IN THE PAUSE MENU? Also it seems you'll want to download Alpine Launcher. I've had tech issues with crashes with explosions. Still one of my absolute favorite FPS titles, much better than some of the later titles. Must buy especially on a sale.
