The age of this game has nothing to do with how bad it is - it's just timeless in it's suckiness...
The acting, the sound, the performance - all shoddy. Just walking around town and picking up missions I already got bad clues as to how close this game would bring me to MY Boiling Point if I continued to play it. Just suffering through long, boring conversations was enough to make me hock up a keyboard. All of these drawn out conversations with badly created NPCs, and a lot of duplicates, sucked time out of getting to the action - major time - and already made it a drag.
The navigation system sucked too. You got a compass and a waypoint. There is no indication of the height of the target - so if your on the street looking for someone and they are in a building above you, it tells you you have found the target - dumb.
The game pops around, due to sound issues. The sound is inconsistent and jumpy. It feels like it wants to crash all the time. The into navigation is cheesy. The intro is cheesy - and ugly. The main character is ugly. Everyone in the game is ugly.
Just let this game die. The only attractive thing about it is the name. They should just sell the name off and let someone who knows how to make a game create one from the bottom up.
