Still my favourite of the PS1 trilogy. While it certainly feels the most dated in terms of control and visual flair (the mansion's lookin' pretty... red?), the game features the most freewheelin' level design of the bunch. Mikami's limiting of movement and aiming remains an excellent choice, a sacrifice in favour of his greater vision of survival horror. Cap that off with the most meme-worthy voice acting and writing around, and you're left with a game oozing charm.

I think the lack of detail in the pre-rendered backgrounds in this game actually adds to the creepiness value, although I def still prefer 2 and 3's backgrounds.
