I "played" this one (I did get through a portion of it, my sister 100% it) but had fun just watching it being played. The characters have a ton of charm, the art style absolutely pops and is lively and colorful. Some levels were a bit of a mess with platforming but overall an absolute gem.

Physics were not great on PS1 version and braking was absolutely not intuitive.

One of the OG racing games that was in depth and took the NASCAR experience onto the PS1. Has severe rubber banding but is a decent experience.

DANG IT BO.

Best cross-eyed intro sequence with 6 fingered guitar playing.

Track editor was a ton of fun, the actual tracks/series themselves felt very uninspired.

A definite improvement on the battle system, but storyline, while still strong, isn't as impactful as the original. Plus the ending is a let down

It has its flaws, but the story grips you and the combat does open up beyond just Press X to Win. Looks gorgeous, sounds gorgeous, has heart.

The game I played for the soundtrack, and the story and gameplay slapped along with it.

An absolutely insane game that has memorable boss battles and is peak stupid fun. Nothing ever compares to annihilating your foes yelling "CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE SUNDAE"

Not the popular fun one, but this was one of the games I loved the most back in 2009.

The game that got me into the series; an all time RPG in such a unique setting.

An all time classic with my favorite storyline in the series. Dated compared to Reload now, but the key initial take on the Persona games we know now

Was it the game we were promised? No, but the chocobros were an enjoyable crew to hang with.
