    Remember Contract J.A.C.K. game spun off No One Lives Forever? :P

    Do I have to?

    It wasn't a good game. It wasn't _terrible_; certainly it wasn't the
    worst crime against humanity commited with the Lithtech engine ("Terra
    Wars: NY Invasion" takes that dubious prize). But it wasn't good. Its
    level design was boring, its enemies and gunplay dull, its story all
    but nonexistant and its characters didn't have any. It felt like
    left-over ideas from earlier NOLF games dumped into a game in hopes of
    making a quick buck (which it probably was). It was an imminently
    forgettable game whose only claim to fame was that it was attached to
    the much better "No One Lives Forever" franchise.

    How forgettable? I never even wrote a review for it... despite the
    fact I know I played through the campaign twice.

    I only played its demo.
