This was my first ps1 game. At the time i loved it, and despite my rating, i still sort of do. It blew me away at the time as it was the first game i ever played that featured a full 3D character that you guided through 3D environments, it also had a fighting game element which played to my Tekken love.

However. This game is easily one of the worst out there. It looks very bad, features many reused enemy models, spawn doesn't look right, environments are difficult to discern and show many visual bugs.
The gameplay is a mix of tomb-raider platforming and tekken-ish combat, both are awful. Spawn handles like a car, you have to sort of steer and brake as he moves. The combat is broken, despite simple special move inputs, you find yourself struggling to use them.
It features a jumping section in one of the medieval areas that is so frustrating that i haven't seen footage online of anyone completing it, they all cheat. It took my about 30 minutes to do that jump.
The story is non existent.
The music is pretty good.
