Fortieth GOTW finished for 2023. This game has no right to be as good as it is for a licensed game, and yet still falls a little flat. The controls are actually buttery-smooth for a game where you're controlling a spider-tank, especially considering you can scale practically any surface in the game. There's also a surprising amount of variety in the level types and boss battles. However, this game's biggest downfall is that the short playing time has it feeling...empty. Like a lot of ambitious ideas that weren't quite realized fully, and one of the best-handling PSX games I've ever played that didn't really get a chance to fully stretch its legs. That and the terrible timed mission.
