Still a phenomenal game, and for me having gone back, I'd still rate it above 2. Nothing wrong with that game at all, but 1 for me has a stronger cast of characters, generally more grabbing plot, the better character designs in most instances and the abundance of SEGA references hit hard.

A game that is for sure worth the time of any player who's even remotely interested in the series, action games or video games in general. Cannot recommend enough.
