This game is seriously one hell of a shooter. Yeah, it has a vague plot, yeah it's not complicated, but so what? People are getting to hooked up on games being serious.Nobody wants to just have reckless fun anymore. And that's where this game excels.

The graphics: For 2001, they're pretty damn good. Sure they're not the best, but it doesn't impair gameplay.

The plot: It basically doesn't matter.

The sound: This area is great. You'll hear the Kamikazi's way before you can see them. Sam's comments throughput the game are hilarious (a boulder rolls by and he whistles the Indiana Jones theme).

The Gameplay: Great. They'll throw 40 enemies at you, then 40 more, and so on. The weapons just plain kickass.

Overall, if you want a great and intriguing plot, stay away. But if you want old-school shooter action, pick this up.

Also, I noted that a reviewer mentioned that if you're in Egypt, your enemies should have spears and stuff. Do you not pay attention?
