Disclaimer: Played this with the Undub + Script revision hack.
One of the strongest PS1 titles, and one of the best MMX games.
High quality level design that does not get old at all, nice bosses (though most of them have that Spark Mandrill weakness thing), and some of the greatest tracks by Toshihiko Horiyama.
The story in this game is... rather simple, at times it really feels like it was abridged from a manga/anime as some of the character's decisions feel a bit... unfinished (to be frank, since dialogue is not a priority I see why they did as they did. The X4 manga does give more detail on why the Maverick Hunters had more evidence to back up their "Repliforce caused this attack", as well), but it's still coherent enough.
If you never played a MMX game, this is the one I'd recommend. Great replay value, gameplay as X is as consistent as ever and having Zero as the full-melee class here works amazingly.
