I used to play this game all the damn time when I was little, replaying the whole game on a daily basis for who knows how long. After returning to this game many years later and replaying it, I am very delighted to say that my love for this game is not only the same, but it increased, somehow. It's unfortunate what happened to the series as a whole, but this game (and the 2nd entry, from what I heard) is still amazing and very much worth your time.
