i just really think you should - very rough around the edges though it may be, i still think it's a lot of fun being a kid in a cool giant robot, free-flying around, shootin and slashin doods and tossin em around, getting weapon and avoiding whatever damage to the colony you can manage. i had GameFAQs at hand when i played it in case i couldn't figure out how to deal with some of the bosses or get through a certain bit, and lemme tell you that's never a bad idea. it's not the best game of all time or anything, don't get me wrong, it's really got its Rough Patches for sure, but even with the hiccups all along the way it was a good enough time that i feel like my biggest problem is how short it was left me craving more (good thing it has a great sequel, huh?).
also it has a baller as hell trance soundtrack. it goes hard
