Reception

The game received generally positive reviews from critics.

A Next Generation critic commented that the game's combination of shooting action and mystery solving "is a unique attempt to rework an old design, and for the most part it works." He also praised the large, challenging levels, the multiplayer options, and the need to move furniture and duck behind it for cover. However, he ultimately compared the game unfavorably to other Marathon 2 engine games such as ZPC and Damage Incorporated, and gave it three out of five stars.[4] MacHome praised the game's realism and plot.[6] MacGamer liked the replay value.[7] MacGate appreciated how at the core of the game was a genuine mystery to solve.[8] According to Italian company Mac-O-Rama, the title was the sixth entry on the 'Top Ten Mac Games List' for the period between January 31st and February 6th 2000.[9]
