My feelings afterward are pretty close to my initial feelings which was surprisingly decent, yes it does operate like a launch title BUT Rare knew the formula to make a good FPS for the system. I like the setting, and the practice mission to start it all off. They did reuse some assets for Mission 7 & 8. There are some missing mechanics that I’m used to like jumping, and the next checkpoint can be very unclear at times. I think the developer knew this because if you get lost enough the game gives you a form of guiding arrows to get to the next part. It’s hard to believe this game is 18 years old already. I still enjoyed this game but Mission 4 almost lost me, I had to lower my gameplay down a level to get through it, and it was merciless on the lack of a checkpoint. The checkpoint system was hit and miss. And for a spy espionage story it got a little supernatural at the end there. I did have to chuckle because the switch in the middle was like how Haze played out. Still though compared to Haze this is Mozart and without comparing it I still found it to be competent but lacking in some finer details.
