A lot worse than I remember. the gameplay's incredibly clunky, the story isn't the greatest and they still hadn't nailed the characterizations of the main cast so plenty of the dialogue comes across as awkward and stilted. Still, it's a pretty fun romp overall. "Greatness from small beginnings" is an important phrase in the franchise, and it describes this game perfectly. Also, playing it on crushing difficulty was an absolutely miserable experience.

"Greatness from small beginnings" has always perfectly summed up UC1 for me. It is objectively the worst of the games, but in some ways, it's my favorite. Seeing where the series came from compared to where it went is always fun.
