Being developed on both the Xbox and the PC has resulted in a game that feels, well definitely different to the original; PC fans at the time bemoaned what they claimed was a general dumbing down of the experience, and what they suggested was a result of console development. Whilst it’s true that Ion Storm have implemented a number of changes to streamline the experience and wrongly had to release a patch shortly after the US release to address control issues, that type of nit-picking mentality would surely result in missing a gripping, tense, Sci-Fi political storyline and certainly the best game released in 2004 so far.
