There is a reason why this game is considered one of the greatest games of all time. The gameplay in this game is insanely fun with you mowing down and kicking Ganados with a vast arsenal of weapons at your disposal. This is bolstered by the insanely strong level design of this game and the hard to get used to but tight controls.

The story is not that great and characters that should have better explanations and motivations like Luis or Saddler just don't have them but it's more of a B-tier action movie so there is a lot of charm from the dialogue and the over the top nature of the game, which makes up for the plot being barren. Ashley is also not fun this game (unlike the remake which makes her good) but that is about all of the major problems I have with the game.

The game is a crowning jewel of video games that aged super well all things considered. A true classic of gaming that everyone must play.
