"Go kill the boss"... Of course it can be simplified to that. But then,
every game can be simplified to something like that. :-) At least there is
a lot to do while pursuing the ultimate mission. All modern games have a
lot less depth than the average Rogue-like game. Especially if you don't
look at the multiplayer facilities. What would Q3 be without multiplayer?
A brutally simple kill-the-boss game with pretty gfx and no depth...
