The game has some really good scenery and combat against *human* bots (ass't nazi & soviet troops). The monsters though soon cease to be scary, and there's not much variety to them. You got your mutant dogs which are easy enough to kill, the bat-vultures, absurdly difficult and really, really annoying, and the mountain gorillas (unaccountably called "librarians" in game) which may be the scariest of the lot. Then you have the flaming basketballs of death. What gets really tedious is the 'treasure hunt' aspect, as you have to scour every level for ammo and gas filters, and you have to troop around small villages where all the people act like jackasses to complete some pointless tasks (like trading bullets for gas filters). Difficult to see how a mere graphics upgrade could fix these issues. FWIW, last light is a definite improvement except the treasure-hunt aspect is actually worse.
