I remember enjoying the game until I hit a crash bug, so I never finished it. Sad. I hear there were eventually updates that fixed it all but by then I didn't have interest in starting over from scratch.

But still, cool game.

Arguably one of the best games to come from Ion Storm's loins! It was certainly one of the richest games I had played at the time.

Fantastic game. I too hit a bug I was never able to get past... never did get to finish the game. Such a shame, though there were a couple unofficial patches released by one of the members of the team after Ion Storm officially closed its doors. I've been wanting to go back and give it a proper playthrough for years now but just have never had the time.

I played it for 5 minutes then forgot about it.  It did seem interesting from what I played though.

I don't think I ever finished, but I can't remember why.  I really enjoyed what I played, though.

Not sure I have the patience to go back through it now.  I remember it being tedious and difficult.

I liked this game a lot too, but I also didn't beat it. Not from a bug problem, but I got stuck and didn't feel like playing anymore. I really liked making your own food though, that was fun.
