The Thing, the game as good as the masterpiece

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars

Cons: cant plug anyone you want when suspicious, can get a little hard.

Bottom Line:
One of the greatest games ever created, due to storyline, graphics and producers. Supposedly each systems version is a tad different, so you really never know. Read More
