maan, i remember seeing the ads for this on TV when I was a kid, saved up for it and bought it the day it came out because I thought like it would slot right in with the other classic ps2 action/plats like ratchet & clank and Jak & Daxter.
Had to stay over my cousins house, they let me use their extra ps2 but the only spare TV had no colour and broken speakers so I had to use headphones, but man I just remember loving it at first staying up playing as long as I could and then after taking the game home and restarting it just getting very bored of it very fast unlike the previously mentioned titles that I replayed quite often.
Was there a reason I never went back to this? or I should I give the remaster a try, would love to buy it on wii U just to support third parties on that platform but there again itll likely head up into a bundle at some point too
