I agree. Especially compared to todays games, the interface and controls can seem clunky. It also doesn't help that the graphics, that weren't even that good back in 2000, haven't aged to gracefully.
Don't get me wrong though, this is clearly among my 3 favorite games.

Yep, the shooting mecanics were mediocre and slow back in 2000, though that's because it's a RPG/Stealth game with loose FPS elements. It's AI is pretty bad, and the voice acting is laughable. The visuals were rough around the edges since it released, with bad models. The textures are still pretty good though, i guess. Standards have risen much higher now, considering it's ben 11 years.
But I think it's the open-endness in which you can approach any situation, fantastic cyber-punk atmosphere, incredibly good soundtrack, minutely detailed world, and neatly sewn conspiracy story that gives this game endless replayability, and manages to attract a good number of new people each year. In those regards, it is untouchable. There's simply nothing like it unfortunately, i don't know why developers evade the cyber-punk-distopian theme in RPGs and stick with this already cliche infested Tolkien settings or Sci Fi settings.
