Superb game in terms of atmosphere. Unique in it's presentation; lighting and environmental design. The physics are still stellar to play around with. Really wish a map editor/mod tools were released and Multiplayer. Could have recreated some sweet Twisted Metal times. The storms are still amazing to watch. First time one occurred I stopped in shock. Never had storms been done like this in a game. Stuff flying all over, lightning crashing into the ground, a hellish wind seemingly never ceasing. Awesome immersion like you wanted the character you play to seek shelter.
Still would love a sequel. Flying over the Big Nothing in a raggedy plane built by scrap, some schematics, and some luck maybe. Just you, your faithful dog Dinki-Di, and maybe Chumbucket along the way. Maybe an entirely new cast then after. Broken skylines and cityscapes. Terrible storms and raiders. Fires lit here and there low and high for some stories to listen and tell..
"This you knows. The years travel fast.
And time after time
I've done the Tell.
But this ain't one body's Tell.
It's the Tell of us all.
And you got to listen it and 'member.
'Cause what you hears today,
you got to tell the newborn tomorrow.
I's looking behind us now,
into history back.
I sees those of us that got the luck
and started the haul for home.
And I 'member how it lead us here and we was heartful
'cause we seen what there once was.
One look, and we knewed
we'd got it straight.
Those what had gone before had the know'
of things beyond our reckoning...
...even beyond our dreaming.
Time counts and keeps counting.
And we knows now..."
