Doesn't quite hold up to a replay the way that I had hoped it would. Obviously some of the best shooting ever at the time, so the tightest arenas, just amazing combat all around great music great fun. But after we saw eternal tighten the screws on the combat system so efficiently, it's a bit hard to not notice how much cruft is in this game. Does anyone use the plasma rifle? The pistol? A lot of the weapon mods are a lot less satisfying to use than their counterparts, and this kind of causes the entire infrastructure of upgrades to collapse, because the intrinsic act of getting them is usually not very interesting ( kill X Demon with y weapon) enemy plays through the game already you know that the reward isn't going to be terribly satisfying. It's still quite fun it just feels a lot more hollow than I remembered it being. It probably doesn't also help that when this came out it was such a breath of fresh air to the shooter genre, and at this point we've had enough ripoffs that this template is a little bit stale. Surprised by how well the comedy holds up though
