Awesome game, with some flaws
I love this game. The animation, the sound, the music, the gameplay and the scenario. You've literally from the first minutes are into the main character Jade. She is beautiful but vulnerable. Other character are pretty unique too. Jokes about ham (do not confuse with HAM), Carlson&Peters and many other local jokes. I really do love the game. First time I've played this game in 2004. Since then this was my second time to play in 2022. However, why I have not rated it 5 of 5? Initialy I was going to rate as 3/5, but eventually decided to go with 4. The game is not really stable: I had 2-3 crashes before saving. Visual glitches and artefacts: no matter what settings I've changed I still had visual artefacts on the screen. The other major flaw is the camera. Oh, I can not stand fixed 3p-cinematic camera. When you need to fast rotate and see what's over there, sometimes due to some reasons the camera allows me only to move up and down, and vise versa. The controls in the other pain. Ok, ok, I get it: the game was built for the consoles. But does it mean we (as PC players) should be suffering too? And the final boss battle. Who's that brilliant idea to reverse the controls during the final battle when you literally have no chance for mistake? (No spoilers though). The aspect ratio. It does not fixed for the wide screens. The built in settings up is somewhat buggy and doesn't allow me to change the resolution nor the refresh rate. As a result I had to play with stretched 4:3 to 16:9 all the time. And also I had to lock the refreshrate on 60Hz in order to avoid the audio-video mismatch. The other thing I've only understood after playing this game 18 years later. It is not much replayable. You can see and do almost anything during the first gameplay. No rush, no skip. Everything would be smooth and silk. But not much random events, with exception of racing events. So, let's sum this up. I recommend the game... only if you have patience to deal with issues above.
