Pretty wonderful until the home stretch of future stuff becomes fatiguing and highlights the PS1's particular 3D clunkiness (the roller coaster section specifically feels unplayable with this game's zero draw distance), I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just waiting for it to be over at a certain point. And the NA version's voice acting is some of the worst you'll ever hear. That being said, this is still a fun and extremely inventive gameplay loop - with controls that feel sophisticated for their time (maybe aside from the heavy, delayed R1 jump that never really feels good to use), vibey music, and poppy level design. One series that actually needs a remaster/remake - a modern version of this would rip.
