Went back and revisited this one on my third console over 16 years (first GameCube, then briefly on Wii, now Xbox One). I was surprised at how the back half of the game I had largely forgotten, even though I thought I had played through this one more than once. Things managed to spook me more than I gave it credit for, too, both as a result of my forgetting a lot of it and also it just being scarier than I remembered.

This game still rocks. The presentation on Xbox One is pretty nice considering it began life as a GameCube title. Good story, fun combat, memorable boss fights, great atmosphere, nifty gun upgrades, and so much more. One of the best packages in gaming. The characters and writing are a little north of cheesy, but in a good way instead of a bad way. Very glad I paid this one another visit.
