Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Same problem as the old cd version. The moment you connect rails with your opponent the game freezes and you can't continue the missions. Pls valve fix the memory leak and optimise the game a bit.”
“Another cash grab by steam. Doesn't run on windows 7, vista or any of the other platforms available today. Tried the off site patches but they are designed for a disk. Don't waste even .25 cents on it. Too bad, would have liked to play it.”
