I knew this one was going to bite me :). I meant mediocre in a product-market-fit way. It definitely had its high-points (and not accidentally), but it also suffered from the fact that Ion Storm Dallas was already burning when it was released. The cult following definitely showed that a lot of things were right about the game.

This was strictly a personal note, I didn't enjoy the game as much as I could have and still consider it a wasted opportunity for greatness.
