This ~15 year old holds up surprisingly well! The combat is really satisfying the crunchy. The action/horror balance is done extremely well. The enemy design and guns are all really awesome. I especially love cutting the limbs off the enemies. Super cool twist on a third-person shooter. Honestly, a remake feels wholly unnecessary when the original holds up so well.
It's not perfect though of course. The game gets kind of repetitive by the end, as you go from samey looking hallway to samey looking hallway, battling hordes monsters every other room. If it was a bit shorter or if there was a more interesting variety of things to do (just not more of the dumb cannon minigame) that would help the game a lot. Plus, the story just kind of sucks. You can tell they tried, but I just didn't care at all. Last thing is a bit of a nitpick, but the 3D map sucks. They really should've just ripped off Metroid Prime, instead of creating their own map system.
Anyways, good game! Hope the remake is going to be more of a reboot though. Just making the game more pretty would be a serious waste of time.
