Parasite eve is it GOOD?

I can't think of another video game that shows the city of New York this much love. Listen to me here. PE is a Squaresoft RPG that takes you to the Central Park Zoo to shoot corrupted gorillas with pyrokenesis and firearms. The map of Manhattan is also charming as a PS1 overworld can get.

The only thing the game got wrong is that there are no gun shops in New York City. There are gun stores practically everywhere else in America (you can buy guns and ammo easily at your local Wal-Mart) but firearms are especially hard to purchase and legally posses in NYC.

So it's very much an accurate depiction of NYC?
 
Surprisingly so. The mandatory evacuation scene gave me goosebumps. Very 9-11 vibes for a game made pre 9-11.
Thats actually surprising to hear.... Very 9/11 you said? Damn must have been quite the scene to witness as a new yorker
