Honestly not as bad as I was expecting it to be! Not anywhere near as good as the Team Silent group of games but not an unenjoyable time either!
- I felt it nailed the atmosphere relatively well
- The story wasn't too bad, I think it would stand so much better as a standalone story and not a shoehorned SH Prequel. For what it tries to do though, it isn't the worst thing I've played.
- Combat was okay but honestly also kind of easy compared to the previous titles. I had an inventory full of bullets and items and never really felt like I was in a tough situation (esp since if you just hoard bullets the bosses are a cakewalk)
- The way you move between worlds was not my favorite idea either as it really just felt more like a means to an end of completing a puzzle rather than an actual real setpiece for the game and world that it was building.
- The PS2 version also has some weird issues:
-- input delay on certain actions though I did see this on PSP too
-- music sometimes just not looping properly or at all and just cuts out
-- pressing X to hit enemies on the ground just sometimes wouldn't work)
- It was annoying at first, but I kind of got used to it over time.
I've heard the PSP version is better (since I believe it was made for that system) but by the time I learned this I was already like 80% through the game so I just stuck it out.
At the end of the game and the credits rolled, I felt satisfied enough with my time playing it (about 6 hours) and I think its a decent enough entry. Now to continue on to the rest of the games :)

Easily my personal favorite HSG game. Soundtrack is top tier, characters and visuals are great for its time (never cared much for the bulky looking 3D characters from 3 and 4), and tons of replay value for me personally.
Could just be nostalgia goggles since this is a game from my childhood but it's one I consistently come back to and I never hate my time when I play it.
Shoutout too to the best cheat code that just gives you all the characters if you just want to play as them all without having to hope you're good enough to beat them

I played it for me. I like it.. and I'm not too bad at it.
jokes aside, this game is pure Maximalism in a video game sense and I lowkey love Epic's dedication to making setups for some of the weirdest scenarios as I step into a lobby and see peter griffin, doom guy, naruto, and a whole cavalcade of characters doing various kpop or dances.
then meanwhile as the game plays I can drive around in a car, listen to Lady Gaga and Weezer while I run over people and then if I get bored I can just play a decent Guitar Hero clone??
shit is WILD and its fun for a few plays here and there. Nothing I would play consistently but every once in a blue moon, its good for a few hours on a weekend
