Oh look it's the greatest game of all time
I love this game, the gameplay is amazing, a bit janky by today's standards sure but the speed levels are top notch, fast and rewarding gameplay, the mech levels are good, getting high scores locking onto everything will never get boring, and the treasure hunting levels are well done too, exploring these creative locations is very immersive and fun. The bosses are well designed too, the rival battles may be jank but I love how the game keeps you engaged by having the cutscenes directly cut to the action, The main bosses are really fun, the definition of simple and effective.
There's also just a lot of good content, Boss rush, 2player, missions, the ranking system and the chao garden, the chao garden alone is like a completely different game, but it ties into the main game incredibly well.
The story is one of my favourites, high stakes, but doesn't take itself super seriously, it strikes a good balance. Tons of iconic quoteable moments, from the start of the game right to the end, the story is simply a work of art.
The music is the best in the series, mainly rock but there's also jazz, techno, rap, etc. The main themes of the characters are great too, Live and learn is basically the main theme of the series at this point.
What I really admire about the game is just how well it's designed, how it encourages replaying it over and over for high scores and unlockables, it all just loops over so well, it's designed to be played for hours on end, for years to come, you may struggle at first, but once you get good, the game becomes super enjoyable.
Anything I can say bad? Uh... mad space mission 4 A rank, nuff said.
Overall, sa2 is my favourite game of all time, doesn't matter which version you play, it all comes down to what I look for in a video game, just a fun time I can sit down and get immersed in, it doesn't have to be the most complex story driven cinematic masterpiece you've ever played, just as long as it's fun, that's all that matters.
