Very impressive how smoothly this game generally controls and feels for being ostensibly the first cover based shooter, translating MGS influenced tactical action to a completely shooting focused game, it's really a lot of fun. For a while. While it's impressive for an N64 game that they have this one huge flowing geographically consistent area to explore, there's a lot of rather clumsy backtracking to get as much foot mileage out of the space as possible, and frankly even if there wasn't the encounter design would get quite repetitive. There's really only four enemy types, and weapon variety is kind of meaningless when the handgun is such a useful all-rounder (the rocket launcher is a real disappointment when you get it) and the boss fights are pretty poor. Nonetheless it's a pretty enjoyable slice of game history, well worth giving a shot if you enjoy kind of janky shooters
