Not to slag on another game to praise this one but this 2D pre-carnation of Metal Gear Solid outclasses its 3D predecessor in so many ways. It's a shame so many overlook it for being old and not having the technical capabilities to be cinematic. The story is stronger in this one even. I mean you have a scientist needing to take a pee break to give Snake the space necessary to reach a Olympians heart.

I didnt realize until a week ago that this and Jak X have basically the same story.

Team Icos best game. Trico is incredible from artistic and technical perspectives. Puzzles are fun. Water is fun. Flying is fun. Making a friend with a beast is fun.
This might be the best game eva made.

I only bothered rating this bundle release because the box arts are the best is the business.

Why did it take Nintendo another 17 years to realize that Zelda games should be 90% side quests?

Proof that walking sims can actually be good.

You either know and accept that this is the coolest game ever made or you're a goddamn coward.

Woah! Naughty Dog made a game that does one thing really well again? Nice! Too bad it also became the game they act sorta ashamed about.

2004

The hopping vehicle saves this game. Great game. Vehicle hops.

You could say this is one of the first modern AAA western games. Doing 5 things kinda mediocre instead of one thing really well.

This is probably still the best racing game out there. Theres no weird spinning out in the name of some misguided reach towards quasi-reality. Every track sticks out as THAT track. This is a game with no fat. Just the simple joy that all racing games strive for.

The version that should have been available from day 1.

The game is fine and all but the real star was the Pokken Pad. Please everybody buy a Pokken Pad. It's the best NES/SNES controller out there. The D-pad feels so good. It ain't clickity clack but it's perfect otherwise. The shoulder buttons are BIG. I never I realized I wanted shoulder buttons to be big before but now it seems like a decades long mistake finally corrected!

Get the Pokken Pad, get Pokken Tournament (it's good!), play all the NES/SNES games on the Switch with the Pad, and finally play FFVII with the Pad.

My first video game ever. It wasnt great and made me not play video games for an entire year.

An absolute masterpiece tragically assaulted on all sides by myths of having no story and being incomplete.
