Not even nostalgia
I know why it got a release but what it needs is a fan mod to fix everything broken about it. Sadly what is broken is everything. There are no saving graces to this game, it is noones favourite, I seriously doubt anyone has any fond memories of this game.

Better than most crap around today
Say what you like about Daikatana, ( and people do). But its a colorful, over the top, cheesey, flawed shooter where I can carry more than 2 weapons an a few grenades and on that basis alone its better than most crap around today, 5 stars

Spent only enough time feel uneasy.
So, I'm not of any asian ethnicity here. Need to say that now. I got through most of the opening cutscene, until a specific point where a pair of characters display agonizingly "Yellow peril" era stereotype accents (think Mickey Rooney playing I. Y. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's, or any number of stereotypical asian villain types in movies from anywere from the 40s to the 90s with a lot of L/R accent swaps and so on) I'm not sure I'm interested in continuing the game. I already am aware of the problems with the gameplay itself, I got the game at its extreme discount fully knowing this (I grew up in the 90s, I remember that imfamous ad in magazines) but still... I don't know if it's because the world has changed and I've changed with it, or if I'm just too much of a prude in my older age, I feel uneasy about continuing. Like I wish I could get a refund for it out of annoyance with having something so unneccessary thrown at me. It is out of place too, the other characters with speaking dialoge in the introduction do not have such accents and sound rather typical action movie in comparison so it just feels cheap and sleezy in an unneeded way to include that. Not really interested in learning if it gets any better, or worse.

best game ever!
this game had me wishing for more when i finally beat it years ago. i'm not even kidding either, becuase of how much everybody else hated it, people will think this review is a joke. its not, this game is literally one of my favorite games of all time. I look past all its flaws and just see it for the fun it has to offer, and i gotta tell you, if you willing to do that you'll find one of the greatest games out there in this game.

Underrated
As other have said, this game is definitely underrated and does not deserve the negativity. It is certainly not the greatest game in the world but I had a good time playing it and still remember it fondly. I would recommend it to friends.
