[I played the Xbox 360 remaster via Series S backwards compatibility]
Still fun in its simplicity, and cheesy spy genre stylings, but too many of-the-era frustrations to finish the campaign. Objectives and navigation are just a little too obtuse, with insta-fails meaning you have to quit to the menu to start again -- not even a restart option in the pause menu! That feels like something that would have been sorted by the N64 era, but I guess such quality of life touches are more recent than we realize.
May boot this back up for some splitscreen multiplayer, in the event this plague eventual passes.
