>>10206379Yeah even though the game was short and the story was a condensed retelling instead of being wholly faithful to canon, the atmosphere of the 03 game was top notch. As a kid and now into adulthood I still don't really understand the hate aside from autistic shitters pissed that it wasn't following canon. The gameplay is decent for a licenced game, like you mentioned soundtrack was great along with the art direction being a nice chunkier middleground between toy and film, the environments were fun to explore, and the sheer amount of lore they actually put into the game was mind blowing. I learned about the differences between Wahi, Koro, and Kini because of it, back when the terminology was still confusing to me. The extra stuff the developers sprinkled in too, like the various original statues and rahi designs they made. They gave us new things to look at and to wonder about when they didn't even have to. Love this game, and always will.
