First thing I remember about this game are the robot spiders, my first encounter with them was not to pleasant, I suddenly heard some ticking sounds but I couldn't see what caused it, until I was attacked from above by one of those spiders! After blowing it's CPU to hell I had to turn fast to welcome it's friends. As other reviewers already stated: It was amazing what they did with the Doom-engine. A shooter combined with NPC interaction and slight RPG influence offered a complete different game experience.
For once it wasn't about killing everything that moved. Also at some times you had backup from other freedom fighters. Of course I've shot at them to see what happened, yep, I got killed instantly by 'm running towards me from all directions.

The environment you're playing in has a medieval setting, the NPC's look like knights and musketeers, together with machine-guns it's a strange combination but since we gamers are used to adapt fast to our new surroundings it's just a breeze from another direction. This game is really a nice old-timer.
