Done and done. Gamecube version. Took me many months, especially since I put it down for a while.

Definitely rememberable. The first of the series that I played. A friend of mine (from pg99) played the absolute crap out of it, I saw the movie, didn’t really get it. So I guess this was my inauguration into the series. And in the end, I get probably a crappy score:

Hit Ratio: 67%
Enemies killed: 974
Number of times killed: 52
Clear time: 23:54’53″
Number of Saves: 86

After God of War, I’m sticking with my “game on rails” statement. This game felt like you controlled a mummy. It was cool for the thrill and surprise but overall, I enjoyed the other aspects more than the action. The story was decent, acting was laughably B movie. But the highlight was really realistic weapons. No other game really communicated reloading / click-click and the limited supply of ammunition. You can’t carry everything. You can’t miss too much. You have to place good shots. You have to search boxes for more ammo. And you have to reload 5 guns in a row sometimes after a big fight.

Anyway, I don’t want to get into a full review. The second disc really took off. It got pretty intense really quickly. And then it ended kind of flat. Satisfying and complete but nothing like Akira’s screaming God opera ending with universe burning laser show, scorching disbelief.
