I remember being a kid and watching my sister play this on the PS2. This game is a product of its time, the fixed perspective was the coolest thing in horror before Resident Evil 4 and every main character would fit perfectly in a reality show from the early 2000's.
I thought it was pretty decent, it's fun to fight photophobic plant monsters. It's also cool how you can permanently lose a character and the story just continues, although everyone must survive for the best ending.
