    The original game impressed me so much in 1999. I loved it to bits. But I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the outcome of Outcast - Second Contact. A complete rework of the original game would be worth the asking price ($30), but it's just not been given the full makeover it truly deserves. That said, I would love for Appeal to be given the opportunity to create a sequel and revisit this fantastic world.

    Score: 6/10

    In conclusion, we feel like Outcast - Second Contact is a game that only its die-hard fans will appreciate. And since those fans have already finished it, there is no point at all returning to it. The only reason would be to admire some breath-taking visuals. However, the game lacks such an 'wow' factor. Newcomers will find it hard sticking with it and that's a shame because under the underwhelming visuals and its rough/stiff mechanics, Outcast - Second Contact is as great as the 1999 version!
