Need a review/opinion

I bought the game from Amazon/Toys R Us Back when they had that 3 for 2 deal.  I personally didn\'t find it very interesting.  The graphics and weapons were nice, but a few hours into the game I gave up because I was just....bored.  I may be FPSed out, though.  I loved Wolf3d, Doom and DoomII, Dark Forces, and maybe Hexen.  I don\'t know what it is, but I just can\'t find one to my liking these days.  

My boredom with current FPS is really a mystery I\'d like to solve.  I wish I knew if I liked DoomII so much because it was a somewhat new genre, or because there really was something about it that the new FPS don\'t have.  And if so, what is it?  

I can tell you the start of my disappointment began with Quake and Jedi Knight, even though a lot of people swear by these two games.

i really enjoyed it, but it may show its age now.. but for 20 you cant go wrong

I would rent it.I beat that game in about 4 days because its so easy, i would have beaten it in 3 but the loadtimes are worse than deus ex, which i gave up on.for 10 more you can always get rtk 6, but then again im obsessed It\'s one ofthe better FPS\'s out there, contrls r goodexcept for tedious aiming, but ato aim takes care of that.andthe whole i-can-blow-the-bridge-up-to-take-out-ur-tank scheme is just plain kewl.

Perhaps it was the simplicity that you liked.

In that case i would have to recommend the original TimeSplitters.  Single player cant get much more simple than that.  Although once you finish the story mode the challenges actually are fun.... dammit, that backfired!

Also maybe you should try Halo, i know a lot of people who werent too happy with the state of FPS\'s until they played Halo.
