Having never played this game, I was excited to try it when it came to the new PS+ program. I can definitely see why it holds a soft spot in so many people's hearts - it's a charming game, it's pretty fun, and it has great music.

But hoo boy - that control scheme! Apparently this was one of the first games to showcase the dual analog sticks, so it opts to use an analog stick option for so many controls when a button would have been way better. I guess that's understandable given that they were trying to showcase the new controllers, but it made for a less enjoyable playing experience than it could have been.

All in all, though, I'm sure PS1-era me would have been just fine with the controls. :)
