for being a GBA port of a dreamcast game, this shouldn't really have been as faithful to the original game as it actually ended up being. Despite being on a cartridge, the OST manages to retain the same groove as the dreamcast original, and due to the graphics mostly being prerendered anyways on the dreamcast game, using downscaled renders of those same assets means the game even looks vaguely similar to the original. If you wanted to play space channel 5 on the go in the early 2000s, this would absolutely be a sufficient way to play it. Very strange that this game wasn't released in japan though considering the original games dev team, i would love to hear the story of this games development. I feel like in this day and age if you want to play space channel 5 you should probably play the original game instead of this, but if you are curious like I was then this port is actually pretty decent.
