"There was no movie tie in and it wasn't the 15th in a series either. That mean originality, the death sentence to many a game. It wasn't perfect, but it was fun playing with all the spooks."
Battlefield 1942 had no movie tie in and wasn't the 15th in any series. Dungeon Keeper, Black and White, Savage... the list goes on and on.
The problem with this game as someone pointed out is that very few people HEARD of it until this. I never knew the game existed. That's not the fault of the developers, but of the publishers who failed to advertise the game in any way, shape or form. Gotta love how they get to blame others for their fuck ups.
