    Se nota el paso del tiempo, sí, pero el ritmo de las misiones sigue funcionando IGUAL de bien

    ArcadeHunter

    Y dale con el favorito de siempre, como si el resto de la saga no existiera

    Yo lo jugaba en pantalla partida con mi hermano y el ritmo nos daba igual, lo que importaba era quién ganaba la ronda

    373rd with a 66% win rate is honestly wild, this game deserves so much more love in the rankings!!

    Álvaro_72

    La sensación de disparo sigue firme, el resto del sistema ya cruje bastante más

  3. RetroSniper19

    Recuerdo las partidas online hasta tarde con amigos, o más bien madrugadas enteras, no sé ya ni cómo rendíamos al día siguiente

  4. Jaime_95

    Lo jugué en un momento raro de mi vida, cuando pasaba muchas horas solo en casa, y la verdad es que me acompañó bastante bien, aunque con los años he vuelto a él y ya no me atrapa igual, se nota el paso del tiempo en varias cosas

    ComboLegend

    Ah oui, la campagne parfaite, on me l'a déjà vendue comme ça pour un jeu que j'ai fini en un après-midi pluvieux

    Yo le metí como 80 horas solo al multijugador, ¿en serio un solo día pluvioso te hace hablar así de toda la experiencia?

  5. RogueRider2008

    Pourquoi il faudrait toujours le comparer aux jeux d'aventure du classement pour juger s'il mérite sa place ?
