this game feels very sloppy and disjointed, but in a way that i really can't dislike. it's campy and genuinely hilarious, and while the story is not very cohesive for most of the run it still manages to hit when it needs to, esp toward the end.

the remaster work is also really fascinating, but ultimately couldn't save the PSP game structure for me--every combat encounter and mission (the latter of which there are 300??) feel completely identical and my eyes were glazed over playing almost half the game lol. regardless this game is very fun to think about and i generally have a fondness for it.
