All in all, one of the best first-person shooters of all time
The Good
Well, for starters, it has some of the most innovative weapons and powerups ever. Also, Extreme Rise Of The Triad comes with 41 new levels, plus fan-made stuff. Also, c'mon, it has enough gratuitous violence to last you a week, plus, as in the original ROTT, you have the option to turn off the violence for younger kids.
The Bad
Well, just like the original ROTT, the graphics aren't too sharp (bu it has decal support!) Also, I found that multiplay can lag every once and awhile.
The Bottom Line
Listen, just ignore all the lousy graphics and laggy multiplay and just GET THIS GAME. It would be hard to live with the guilt of not having it.
