The graphics are surprisingly good, particularly the character models. The 3-viewpoint story isn't bad, either. It's just that there's not much gameplay or interactivity. This is a pure adventure game, basically an interactive movie. If you're expecting Biohazard in space, you'll be disappointed.

That aside, it's a nice graphical showcase for the PS2, the story is kinda interesting, and there's some pretty good worldbuilding in the design of the huge space carrier Gallant.

Also of note is a black woman as one of the three main characters, and she isn't stereotyped or ridiculed at all.

Incidentally, Yoko Taro of Nier fame had a minor role working on some visuals for this game.
