Played via the OpenGOAL PC port. For all intents and purposes, this is a recreation of the PS2 version recreated for PC played in ultrawide using a Dualsense controller.
A good time that immediately drew me in and tricked me into getting about 25 power cells before taking any sort of break. The first two thirds are great, the last third sorta just drags on but it still some decent platforming fun. Presentation is great, traveling through the world is impressively seamless. The music is typically ambient and works very well, with some more intensive drum and bass tracks for combat encounters. The combat itself is unfortunately shallow and grows old in areas like Snowy Mountain and Spider Cave. The hub worlds and their characters are fun to interact with, though they feel pretty empty once you truly get everything they have to offer. Voicework and character animations are truly something to behold and stand up great, even today.
