It's wild how big this game was and yet how little cultural impact it made. As an experience designed to suck you into its mindless gameplay loop for 50+ hours it succeeds well enough to warrant a higher score in a way. From another point of view though I find it to be purely junk food that I have no interest in ever revisiting.
During the creatively bankrupt era it came from, it does stand out as unique. From its art style, quirky humor (That does NOT hold up well to say the least), bombastic "anything goes" action. I remember a few boss fights especially being relatively cool. But none of it left any impression on me whatsoever. Nothing characters, nothing story, visionless and almost manipulative gameplay designed to waste your time.
I played it for 60 hours and recall next to nothing of note about it. Completely meaningless void of a game that I wouldn't be surprised to find I actively hate if I were to revisit it properly.
