This... sure is one of the games.
A bit too long for my taste, the padding with the ride armors (that are not even that required) and some of the boss fights being frustrating really don't make me enjoy this game as much.
However, this time around I decided to check the PS1 version.
I really like the new arrangements for the OST, it's definitely less rock, but some tracks sound very unique with the new instruments.
And the cutscenes... my god, those are charming. I really miss the PS1 era when they had time/effort to actually put a few nice things for the player to see.
Overall... it was fun, but it's definitely one I wouldn't revisit anytime soon.
