COMMENT:  Runs well on a 486DX2-66 with 8MB RAM.  Not recommend for

RATINGS:-

Control     = 9 (fluid and easy)
Music/Sfx   = 9.5 (atmospheric and punchy)
Graphics    = 8.75 (looks a bit grainy up close, but you don't care)
Playability = 9
Lastability = 9.5 (it'll last you a while)

Overall     = 9.1

COMMENT:-
        Take a step beyond DOOM and anything else by playing Hexen.
Atmosphere, game play, and the need to use a bit of the old grey matter
make this a must buy for all avid DOOM and HERETIC fans.  Oh by the way
the game has GREAT weapons.
