I have fond memories playing this game and the ability to record your own sound effects for wiping out and doing cool tricks and hearing them played back to you in crushed audio quality was a fun gimmick. Never did play the console counterpart but I bet it wasn't as vibrant as this.
A masterpiece ahead of its time. Somehow still pretty scary despite you playing as basically a super soldier. Enemy AI famously holds up and impresses, and area designs made me feel like I was playing Die Hard at times. Highly recommend for fans of FPS and Horror.
I think pretty highly of it since it's the way I first played through SM64. Pretty challenging at times really and the camera never helped, but it's hard to deny its impact.
Pretending that Jak 2 doesn't exist, but if it did I would say this is a happy medium in terms of tone between Jak 1 and 2. It's still a lot closer gameplay wise to 2, but I enjoyed the cool powers and somewhat open world.
My favourite of Chief's Halo games. Just across the board improvements over the original, the addition of the Arbiter, and dual-wielding make this a dream to play.
