PH2 recently showed up on the VC, last week I believe, and I just yesterday decided to pick it up and give it another try. I'd played it some years earlier on the Genesis, but I never really got very far in it. The biggest reason is that it has a rather steep learning curve, particularly if you don't have an instruction manual. But also because of the way it is designed, having very difficult to navigate menus, items that don't tell you what they do until you equip them, a overworld that is difficult on starting levels, and other reasons.
On the other hand, it has really good music, an interesting scifi setting and storyline, and good-for-their-time graphics. Plus, it's still a fun game to play.
It's worth $8.
