This is the first game I can remember obsessing over and begging my parents for Christmas. My siblings and I played it over & over for a year or more. Great, great memories. Can’t say how good it holds up, but for me it’s one of my favorite experiences with a game in my life
A huge graphical leap forward for RPGs with a strong narrative and characters. Honestly, blitzball knocks my rating down half a point. It’s that disappointing
On the surface it was a standard for the time side scrolling beat-em-up. However, the branching storylines, multiple characters, RPG elements, and secrets made this game very special to me. One of those games that’s much, much better than it had to be.
