Well worth the money. Immersive game, great art, banger music, and great gameplay. A bit short but it's not a problem for me. I was able to beat the game with only one game over. but the game is not easy by a longshot. I had a lot of close calls. You get used to the controls by the 3rd boss fight and the game really amps the challenge around the 5th boss and above you will stay engaged trust me. Despite that the game is not brutally hard there is a lot of room to make errors as long as you make progress in the fights by knocking the boss into the next phase, you get a full heal and extra life if you were missing one. Finally most people don't factor aspects other than gameplay but I do. I enjoyed the story. This team mastered story telling through art. You get a sense of the characters by the small amount of dialouge they have and the enviroment you fight them in. TLDR This game is worth more than trips to amusement parks and a game children will remember fondly like us adults remember great games on the PS2. Easily more fun and more complete than a large chunk of major 2024 releases.
