Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Steam lists support for 12 languages. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. Metacritic places it at 75. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Over 87 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported.
