It always used to be really buggy (probably due to being in the early days of clutter) but it ran really reliably when I tried it.

The thing that really dissapointed me about a lot of these FPSs was they all seem to be Quake 3 but all optimised for network play. The other menu options don't seem to be well finished/working which makes them feel incomplete. >> gramps (genealogy, niche?) >> > right niche, but the reference on GNU/Linux.

I'd never got it working due to the 3D requirement (yay now for Lucid graphics drivers!) but my impressions were: Ran it - really professional looking menu, nice starting world to choose which level. Walk into first level. Not obvious what to do. Walk around a bit, nowhere much to go, just a few creatures running around which you can kill, but no reason why to do. Some textures seem to be missing. It feels like it has all the graphics but no gameplay. I think Yo Frankie 2 is what we want... >> miro (media player, don't see the value over totem+websites) >> > It's approximately the same than if you say "I don't see the added > value to an RSS reader VS firefox + going over all my blogs/planet".
