This game is extremely buggy on PC (and assumable on consoles too) but it's so rich. I love every second of roaming, exploring, conversing. All the elements and characters make for a very immersive experience and I can't get enough. There's been so many characters that either warm my heart or exist in a very meaningful way in my playthrough. For example, I really like Cass' bluntness and grip to reality, she's a very interesting character. One of many. The world of New Vegas is very intriguing, yet dull & dead. Sometimes I found moments where I was just wandering through flattened, dusty terrain but other times it's these lively towns & outposts. The dead & dusty areas didn't hamper on my experience but I could see someone becoming irritated with it. Overall, an amazing role-playing game.
This game is utter madness. Great and charming madness. I feel like some of the levels were made by the insane. Some design choices so maniacal, so devilish that I'm surprised they were approved by NoA. A few levels were almost asininine to play. But the rest I either respected for cleaver game design or found fun regardless. On that note, I couldn't imagine the youth beating some of these levels without suffering. I came back to this game out of nostalgia of playing the first couple levels and loving the concept & execution. To this day, I'm still very fond of the movement and partial freedom of what you can do with all the forms of flips and jumps. Overall, a very fun title that can stand on it's own and entertain for a quick couple levels if out on the go or for someone itching for cleaver puzzles and intricate platforming. Also, as I was playing through my recent run & completion, the remake was announced which was pretty funny timing.

This review is for a first time playthrough; although this game has odd combat & controls (I mean, it's 2 decades old) that means nothing compared to the masterful auditory & visual stimulus. The atmosphere is some of the best I've seen in any video game. Story is interesting... But sadly I got the bad ending on my first playthrough, oops. The end scene was almost kinda funny :
"Thank you dad"
"Goodbye" LIKE WHAT !
That said, this game deserves more love. I only ever hear about SH2, why? This is a wonderful title.

As much as I love Yu Yu Hakusho (it being my fav shounen of all time) this game is lazily made. There's numerous details & map pieces that are either missing or done poorly. There's a lack of content compared to other PS2 fighters and the tokens/token mode are actually nothing LOL. To give it credit though, the moves are fun (granted, with abysmal inputs) and it's an interesting game for sure but potential was wasted,
