I don't think anything about this game would appeal to "kids today", since it seems like the sort of thing that you would find on a Flash game website in 2003.
Far Cry 2 was an excellent game, interesting to hear the Zelda comparisons with that.
It would be nice to see more quality single-player-focused FPS games this generation - meaning when you get to the startup menu it doesn't say "Campaign", it says "Start New Game". Another BioShock, another Far Cry 2. Please point out anything I'm missing, because I feel like these particular types of shooter designs are falling by the wayside.
