On the spectrum or not, this game slaps.
Just make sure you've got the calc (slang for calculator) ready.

Haven't been addicted to an rpg like this since fallout nv on the 360.

Story is great, side stories are great and plenty, every song is a banger, characters are incredibly well made.
A definite recommendation, though I would also suggest having a somewhat modern setup to reach that 60fps minimum.

I mean, what's not to recommend about this game?
The music is legendary.
The story is legendary and original especially with all the saturated action games that are released even back in 2003 when it was released.
The protagonist is also absolutely amazing, she isn't unrealistic in the sense that she is going around with a machine gun shooting all the baddies, but instead she has to be stealthy, only fight in self defence and use her camera as her weapon of mass destruction.

This game is a great take on media and how its not always what it seems to be, whether it being propaganda or simply uninformed reporters, which is why jade seeks out the truth to unearth what's really going on.

Although my review might be slightly biased because this game is my childhood as well as my absolute favourite game main character by far, it is the only game in which I break down every few minutes crying simply because of certain events happening or the iconic theme decides to start playing. That must mean something right?

The only negative which I can find on the pc release is that the game is extremely out dated technically, which can cause fps drops, weird graphics glitches or bad camera movements... there are a few guides out there to help people out, I personally fixed the fps drops with a guide and then lowered the resolution as well as the rest of the settings to play it like I'm back on the xbox in 2003 to fix any graphical glitches.

My friend and i got this game only seconds after it was out but it just never caught on, as you may have noticed people are saying the multi-player is dead and yes i have to agree with that, you have to grind for anything in this game which is no fun and it's levels are almost all the time the same, with the same enemies over and over.
