Point is that the graphics would look dated even a year ago. There's just nothing interesting to look at, which makes the level design look and feel quite bland.
The level where you're running through a load of gardens at the back of houses was something a bit different though, and was quite enjoyable.
Reminded me of the mission in CoD4 where your chasing that guy. CoD did it better imo but its still lots of fun in V2 .
