Honestly still holds up. The writing is fantastic, gunplay great, and level design killer. It's age is genuinely the only thing holding it back at this point. It's difficult to run without patches and the graphics, while a huge part of the game charm, are still very much showing how old they are. It's a difficult game, but I didn't mind that, just make sure to quick save after every cutscene, otherwise you WILL be watching them again.
