This game never had a fair shot. It deserves one. From release it was stuck on PS2, and on the blue CDs that some PS2s struggled to even read. I always remember waiting 30 seconds to load a cutscene, followed by another 30 second wait to get back to playing. With the remastering of the original game in the series being so well done, the sequel absolutely deserves to at least see the light of day, and would benefit massively from modern quality of life improvements.
