It's so silly and I mean that as a really high praise. It may not have aged amazingly, and the controls may be a little wonky, but I had fun, genuine fun, the whole way through. I haven't been able to say that about many modern FPS titles and I definitely hope that the trend towards "boomer-shooters" and micro FPS titles brings us back to explore what we had here, at the boundary before every shooter became a Hollywood action movie and the cover-based shooter took over.

Also a big fan of a time-travel narrative that doesn't care if it makes sense, but still loops and touches back in ways that don't over-complicate. Add in the small mechanical variances and the campy genre-tribute travel destinations and this was a really nice romp that I'm glad I finally took the time to try out.
