it was quite good! I only wasn't sure how to feel about the movement feeling not "perfect", which I'm willing to accept in many other games because not every game should have perfect movement, but after playing a bit of crash twinsanity too, I realized ps2 era games just have a really weird double jump where you need to do it towards the apex, or else on the descension you're just not able to anymore? It feels so damn strange and unintuitive to me. Otherwise, choosing when to double jump or rolljump or crouch jump or when to spin to stall, was pretty cool and fun.
The animation is fucking godlike and is genuinely better than every game that has come out since then. I actually can't believe how good it is from the year 2001, while every game since then looks like dogshit with the most stiff or cringe animations ever. It looks really good all around, it's nice to experience a platformer like this without a lot of the annoying baggage that anything like this would have now. Newer ratchet and clank etc look like pixar and it turns me off a lot, this reminds me more of just 2000's cartoons and that's a really good thing.
