Clearly inferior? Bit of an exaggeration. It came out before HL2 and Doom 3 so generated a fanbase as it looked pretty damn good at the time. stake gun is great great fun i great use of ragdoll/physics pre HL2 It does what none of those others do, enemy hordes attacking you en masse certain levels ooze atmosphere, and are very varied, unlike Doom for example It does have rubbish puzzle bosses though
