Surprisingly, First Person camera was almost completely stripped out of both the executable and game archives. The camera system simply isn't set up to use it, meaning I couldn't get it working nearly as good as it does in XXX. This means that it - along with the Suspension camera that was fully removed here - were likely going to be properly added to XXX along with all the other previously-scrapped features that made it in, but it wasn't done in time for release. This explains why it's more functional there despite this effort being a lot less hacky.

Here's the Action Replay code:

Go into the Options menu and press L to activate it. If you want to switch back to other camera modes, go back into the Options menu and press R. Since proper programming doesn't exist, it is very broken.

- There's no menu text to indicate you're in First Person.

- The game will constantly try to switch to a third-person view while jumping, in the air, or landing, making the camera shake around a lot.

- You might occasionally see your rider for a few frames when bailing or running into things.

- There's not enough camera stabilization, so it's really disorienting and hard to control.
