I paid nothing for this and at first assumed it was a game based on one of those cop shows, but once I realised it was a game about the American fear of the early 2000s I bought it immediately.

The idea of the game is absurd but plausible, and it probably sold more in the US from people who love their country.

In reality, to me, someone who grew up in the UK and was braindead when this game released, and only having heard about early 2000s US politics through shows like Family Guy, this game sucks and has no value to it, especially 20 years later.

It's a novelty game now, a product of its time.
The game throws you in right away with no tutorial, and I had to blindly figure out the controls.
I had no idea how to reload, no idea how much ammo I had, and I ended up just running to the end shooting aimlessly.

At the end of the level is a fighting section that's very poorly designed.
The opponent blocks your attacks as often as he can, so hitting him does nothing most of the time.
When you block, you're basically just stuck because he'll just keep hitting you if you stop blocking, and he manages to remove most of your health at once, and you can't block while he hits you.

This is on easy.
