Saw this a lot in magazines and always thought it looked like as a cooler Resident Evil, but unfortunately only played like 10 minutes of it for some reason. Was it a good game/good story?

the ps2 version came out only in PAL regions............was ported by some other studio and the music was botched compared to the ps1 version

I have the PS2 version.
Man it sucked! The game lags so much I never played it because I was afraid of it bricking my console.
The PS1 version looks more impressive that the PS2 if you ask me!

Still, the only version I've finished was the GBC version.

The DC version was a solid game, I either forgot about or never heard of the PS versions. The lighting effects looked nice back then but they should have put more effort into the character models

This games does not do well in emulators with upscaling and extra options. If you can actually get the PC version working that is the best version but getting it working is not easy. PS2 version is good enough without much hassle.

EDIT: Guess I should have watched the video instead of assuming. Looks like the PS1 version is superior lol.

Too bad this IP went down the toilet. I used to love these games.

I had the Game Boy Color and (eventually) Dreamcast version of this game. Never seen these either of the Playstation ports prior. It's a chill game overall. Nothing game changing, but it didn't have to be either.
