This is Exhibit A for games that get completely bailed by their charm and uniqueness, the gameplay itself here is fairly basic (understandable since it's a launch title and it was meant to show the capabilities of the Gamecube more than anything), but it manages to be pretty memorable and even mostly well paced thanks to its short length, the constant barrage of different little scenarios and just how different and wild it all feels.

Everyone has played this game but if you haven't, this is very well worth the 4 or so hours it takes to beat. Just beware of the final act, which is made of really boring backtracking through the by then mostly empty mansion. At least the final boss is pretty cool.

Also this game might have one of my favourite credits themes in any game, I don't know what it is but it's so catchy
