To be fair, the "Pax McDonald" is considered a real phenomena, as the US has NEVER invaded any country with a McDonald's franchise, even so far as people joking that the only reason the US invaded Iraq wasn't to find WMD's, but to make sure McDonald's gets their first restaurant there in 2006.

For me he's like the extra special kind of ice cream that I can only find at one specific store but I don't get out to that store that often. When I do get there, that ice cream makes my fucking day, all the toppings are just the best perfect combo unlike any of the others, but it's over before I know it and it'll be a while before I get it again

@@Th3Raz96 absolutely. for me, he's like that one ice cream that's ALWAYS sold out, no matter how often you go to the store. you could check back day, after day, after day, after day, and never find what you're looking for. but in that single moment when you start to despair and think you'll never get it again? boom, there he is! and it's like the first time all over again. again.

Great review! I remember playing this when it came out. It had cinematic appeal, in spite of the gameplay that we knew was clunky even back then. The driving sequences somehow made it more immersive to me. Like the Shenmue games, it was a mundane task that added some illusion of realism. I don't think it holds up, but for its time, an admirable effort
