Strengths

Graphics and facial animations are improved without compromising the original's nostalgia and core gameplay.
Many reviewers find the cover-based combat and gunplay still intense and enjoyable.
Multiplayer is often cited as the element that best preserves the original's nostalgic appeal.

Weaknesses

Friendly and enemy AI are very sluggish, fail to perform their roles during combat, or become stuck in certain locations.
Controls and movement feel outdated and awkward, with running, taking cover, and vaulting bound to the same key and characters getting caught on terrain.
The campaign is about seven hours long, and some argue that the content is insufficient for the full price if multiplayer is inactive.
