That's probably a fair way to put it. As a PSX launch title, it would've been... maybe mid-tier, I guess. Graphically, it's just fine, but the gameplay works so hard to push me away that finally I just threw up my hands and said "Fine, I won't like you!" I think the game and I are both happier now.
Thanks for commenting on my review!

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world
