How is this game now?
 

I know at the time of release, BP was riddled with bugs and as such got mixed reviews from critics. I'm assuming by now a lot of the issues have been cleaned up to the best of the community's ability. Is this game worthwhile aside from the issues it has, IE in the story and gameplay departments? I'm pretty deep into the "sequel," White Gold, and after I'm through I want to follow up with something similar to it, so I figured why not try the first game. Coming from White Gold will a lot of it be familiar or what?

There's a 200mb patch available (provided by the devs shortly after release) that fixes the major issues, but most of the community knowledge / mods have been lost along the way.

Regardless though I love it, White Gold looks better but is a lot less interesting, there's a lot more going on in Boiling Point. Plus Boiling Point is properly translated / voiced so it feels a lot more complete.

And yes you'll feel right at home with your White Gold experience, the mechanics are very similar, and the humor is just as bizarre.

That's what's really keeping me going in White Gold — the heart and good sense of humor. Plus the gunplay feels pretty good. I'll definitely give BP a shot then. Is it available for digital download like White Gold is?

e: Ah, it's on Atari's site for $10. Awesome.
