The first game is my favorite game in the franchise because it's darker and has more of a horror vibe. I'm curious how it'll be received today because it is very "of that era" given that it's a cover shooter, something that was very big during the seventh console generation. It'll be interesting to see how people who've never played the game feel about the game since it's a 2006 game at heart. I did find that the Ultimate Edition, the version that Reloaded is based on, did kind of ruin some of the artistic choices made in the original version of the game. The "Destroyed Beauty" look that was touted by Cliffy B during the original game's pre-launch hype phase was dialed back quite a bit in the Ultimate Edition. That said, I still found the game to be quite good all of those years later.
By the way, here's my copy of the original game's Limited Collector's Edition signed by a bunch of the developers including Cliffy B, Mike Capps, etc.:
