I hold a soft spot in my heart for this game as one of the first things I played on seventh generation of console gaming (Xbox 360). The aesthetic and concept are still very appealing though the game play is janky, if not outright broken. Final mission is a complete pain, but if you can play through the game at least once I recommend it.

I rate it! An old game that is now clunky with issues around GFWL but the gameplay holds up fairly well. It's age does show around limitations in level design and AI behaviour but the gun fighting is still satisfying, at times challenging especially at higher difficulties.
Hopefully the updates needed to move on from GFWL are done soon and it can be back on the store.

EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE
I red a review when this game released that said its duration was lacking.
I've been playing this game for the last 15 years.
They also said the graphics were bad and the shooting and cover mechanic didn't work.
After years of experience with cover mechanics, now I see this game was ahead of its time.
The cover mechanics work, the shooting is imprecise because is trying to be realistic and the ragdoll physics of the enemies are better than most of the hyperstilized design of modern games.
The graphics are also very good and the different set pieces are spectacular even for 2025 standard.
8/10 - Left 4 Dead but still alive.
