Advertising in the 90s was something else.
I remember seeing this in PC Gamer in 1997 or 1998 and getting pumped.
Side note, I have a full collection of US PC Gamer issues, 1994-2000. I wonder if there’s any interest in HD scans?

I was definitely in the “played less than an hour” boat. Believe I got the demo from PC gamer, tried it (after reading a lot of the backlash) and never really gave it a chance. Based on your comment, I may have to correct that.
Yeah it’s worth it. Don’t expect a world class game - I’d put it into the same category as FEAR 3 (I refuse to use it’s stylised name), TimeShift, Black, and Perfect Dark Zero. Competent shooters, but utterly unremarkable - a decent way to waste a few hours and nothing more.
The Daikatana itself is a nice addition to the game, and can be powered up 2thaMAX (literally) by around ep3, and it makes you feel like an utter badass if you’ve spent the time to level it up
Just remember to bring a coffee and a snack for the opening cutscene. It almost makes Oppenheimer look like a trailer. It’s unnecessarily loooooong.
Have fun!
