Not a terrible game, but a bad souls game and the worst in the series by far.

I may be looking through rose tinted glasses when I watch footage of this game today, but I don't think so. It has to be the most underrated game, if not of the PS1 era, of all time. It hardly gets a look in, completely glossed over in most "top 10" lists and the like. I think that's part of it's charm though, being a relatively obscure, fantasticly made game with hands down the best music I have ever heard in a game, and really, a James Earl Jones sound-a-like narrator is the cherry on top. Onto the game, while it's fair to say the graphics haven't exactly aged well over the past 21 years, the gameplay, music composition and story certainly haven't budged a bit. I can't really say more than that, all that's needed now is a remaster (I stress "remaster", no need to change a perfect formula otherwise, oh, and get back CoLD SToRAGE for the compostion) *cough*.
