Holds up surprisingly well, but I don't remember it being so difficult. I think young me might have used cheats because there's a load of trial and error stuff here that made me very thankful for save states.

The shooting is horrible, and the prerendered backgrounds sometimes switch too early leaving your character taking a few steps on a completely different plane of existence from the environment which is always good for a laugh. The aesthetic is what really holds it all together. Great animation and plenty of cutscenes nail that comic book feel. I'm sure young me was also very enamoured at cell shaded blocky side boob and arse shorts.

The one thing I appreciated more as an adult is how badly Glas gets it throughout the game. The man bumblefucks around like a looney tunes character. Wouldnae have looked out of place to have a piano drop on his head.

It feels a bit racist now. Some fuckin "accents" in here.

Had a copy of this since launch day and it's gone untouched since I had some trouble on disc 3, twenty-two years ago. I've considered going back a handful of times, but then I notice how much the floor could do with hoovering or something.
