Some games are way better in your childhood then they are when you grow up. I've replayed this one recently, but it didn't age as well as I expected. Sure the combat is amazing for a PS1 game, but not without its flaws. The level design to today's standards is atrocious with terrible platforming, which is hard to ignore... But the game isn't that bad for you to avoid, I'd say even if you've played better games, give this one a shot, because it's at least still fun to fight.
