Started the "character action" genre but I think its a bit hard to go back to nowadays. The combat is fun but much more simplistic compared to later games in the series (even 3, which was also on the PS2) I suppose it's not fair to fault it for that though as it was the first of its kind.

The camera is another big obstacle for me. It's really annoying in a few rooms throughout the game.

One big plus about the game is the art direction and atmosphere. Sure it's a PS2 game but the environment and character design is still really great even today.

Overall I would say it's worth checking out if you have any interest in this genre or these types of games.
