A truly underappreciated game that was unique at the time and easily one of the best and most well aged out of the early PS1 library. The game is rather easy, but in a "fair" way. It never feels like you die or lose due to some archaic fifth gen oversight or design flaw, but rather always feels like you're in control, and it's all held together thanks to the fact that you automatically look down when making large jumps. Aside from not being able to strafe while on the ground, the game honestly does everything it sets out to do pretty well, and the fact that they were able to combine a 3D platformer and a fully 3D first person shooter as well as they did, all the way back in 1994 when both were still being figured out, is truly astounding.
