Overall this game is great, not perfect as I yet explore more of it (only finished the game once and I haven't been into the casino). Though the camera angle and dodge mechanism may be my gripe with this game but it isn't a big issue.

The story is not taking it's self too seriously and there are a lot of moments which are hilarious (e.g.

I've been wanting to play this game for a decade now and I finally bought it on psn, to see how wrong IGN was (the fact they were nit picking stuff like the graphics), however upon playing this game I can say it is very enjoyable to play and even keep, here's why: Story, theme and characters:
