    Mainly for those interested in gaming history or are looking to play an old favorite again. Durandal was a good game when released, but time has not been kind to this first person shooter.

    For retro curious and old school fans, it's an interesting game, but it definitely can't hold a candle to newer shooters.

    A poor-quality port of a game that has aged terribly.
