I am re reviewing the game after building a PC that will run it well.

Hard disk space more than fine.

The game was unplayable on my original rig. Considering most people have upraded to a PCI-E and AGP is essentially a dinasaur now It is not fair to have originally given it such low scores. After playing it enough to see it the way it is meant to be I actually think it is a lot of fun. The fire fights are so far actually funner than in FEAR. I have not played through the game so I cant comment on story or theme but to me this is a FPS. For me this type of game is about the fighting. As far as scary I dont think anything has really come close to DOOM 3 so that isnt a factor in my review. Right to the point If you like single person fights I give this game a high score. Its hard for me to review the graphics becuase it trully is impossible to play on an AGP system. I like others, pretty much felt that if FEAR could run on our computer then the expansion should. I worked at it for a long time and there was no way to even come close to the way this game is supposed to play and look. So for those people with high end machines Extraction Point is fun for the shear fighting alone. Oh and obviously I did not build this new computer to play EP. I think that the requirments on the games box should have been more exact. This is my problem with it. I would not even have bought it at the time if I new it was unplayable on my rig. I should be stated that 2 gig of memory is required. PCI Express system is required. Considering I am not a mind reader I will just simply accept that in the PC gaming world AGP died a long time ago and nVidia 7000 series cards are just the norm. So I will give the game new attributes taking into consideration that my system happened be I guess out dated. I cant blame a game developer for wanting to stretch the boundaries. I like the game better than most now, if it matters.
