Still have it on gamecube and was one of the most memorable titles I owned on that console, probably beat it 8 times as a kid, got on steam and have beat it 3 times now since it came out here. Its amazing it still has a community following with updates from devs that have not forgotten about it. Amazing game highly recommend to anyone who hasn't played it before.
One of the best old games of its time. Most certainly a hidden gem thats worth every penny and every hour of playtime.
