I think this game is awesome. Maybe it wasn't as good as the first one for it's time but SW was pretty good. At the very least it's potential was incredible. This game could have been GOD. Some changes were stupid like energy instead of ammo. The first one looked crisp but it's colour scheme sucked. Too many shades of brown. Syndicate Wars entire presentation, from it's login screen to it's cyber punkish grey, purple and black colours, futuristic and sterile looking environments, bloodied corpses, was perfect. I felt like I was in a horrific future. The sound of the voices was really cool. And just the whole concept of Eurocorp vs Church of the new Epoch (one of the coolest named factions in history of video games) was wild. Yes, the sprites looked like crap and the textures were garbage. So what? You have to get over the graphics to enjoy this. Bullfrog or EA could have released the game just as it was with improved graphics a few years later and it would have been great. This game could be really good if done right. EA missed out big time. Molyneux is f'd up now and EA are worthless. They're not going to do a proper sequel. So, I'm going to do it.
