In conclusion, Rise of the triad : Ludicrous Edition is something to definitely have in your library, both as a retrò gamer, nostalgic fan or someone that just adores good ol' FPS game.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
*Missing multiplayer maps (There may be a less than ideal workaround for PC users but not for console players, so you are limited to about 10 maps for cross-platform MP instead of the ~70 MP maps that were available in previous versions).
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Not because the graphics were all that interesting, it's mostly greys, browns and reds.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
It also has restored characters and game content not available in the original release, alternate weapon SFX (because some hated the original SFX), online multiplayer, controller support, mouse and keyboard rebinding, a level editor, and a new episode.
