PAL copy played on a region-modded Dreamcast.
This game came out in 1998.
1998.
You know what else came out that year? Resident Evil 2. Spyro the Dragon. Banjo Kazooie. Half Life. Ocarina of Time. Metal Gear Solid.
So while you can fault the story for its cheesiness (when really it was pretty on par with other kids media of the time) and critisize the gameplay (when you're probably just playing the shite, buggy ports with crap lighting and art changes that the Dreamcast Conversion mod for PC fixes entirely), you cannot deny that for nineteen-ninety-fucking-eight, this was a beautful looking game that provided you with an actual goddamn adventure with some fun music that'll worm itself into your brain.
Big's levels do suck though and was the reason I never finished this game as a child, I'll grant you that.
