But the thing is I DO love this stuff

. And yes the characters were lovable (even Ricky who should have been UNBEARABLE is quite likable), the atmosphere and setting amazing, and let's not forget the killer soundtrack...I don't know, I just don't like it when manga/video game creators (from Japan) try to make their games too dramatic, cause they end up being pretentious as fuck.
Plus it lacked controllable mecha which was a big thing in the other games.
Fair enough, though they DID make for awesome villains
