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
