A classic game that set a lot of standards for the third person action/adventure genre. An interesting story, with maps and gameplay elements closely tied to story progression and plot, puzzles of the switch and jumping variety that rely less on being cryptic and more on skill to solve than many adventure games, and beautiful environments that, while appearing dated, still retain much of their beauty.

The combat and camera prevent this game from being in the "A" range. The game is designed with auto-aiming to help with combat issues, that are mostly tied to an awkward camera. Jumping becomes frustrating at times due to the camera as well.

It's on my list of 10 most important games to me personally and was my favorite Sega Saturn game (until Guardian Heroes) when I owned the system as a pre-teen / early-teen.

Definitely check out this classic if you enjoy 3rd person action/adventure games.
