Absolutely! Simon Templeton is fantastic throughout the series (and is great as Dr. Doom in the '90s Fantastic Four cartoon)

Have you gone into the inventory and listened to some of the item descriptions/lore yet?

It definitely feels like the PS1's 'edgy' version of the Legend of Zelda. It has undeniable rough edges but is still very much worthwhile.

It's also interesting how many audiovisual assets Silicon Knights... ummm... let's be nice and say 'borrowed' for this game from their port work on The Horde

This is one of the first games Amy Hennig worked on when she started out with Crystal Dynamics. The overall story is ... 'convoluted', but a lot of the minute-to-minute writing is fantastic.

I have always been a particular fan of the Heart of Darkness lore in the inventory menu.
