    I also quite enjoyed Warrior Within but then again I liked Jak 2 as well. I wonder what happened in that “Shadow the Hedgehog” era to make all these good mascots go bad…

      I can only guess being dark and broody or “Bad Boys are cool heroes” was the trend at the time

      A time where trying to be “edgy” was hitting a desired target market - a time Ubisoft put effort in their games trying to push boundaries.

      Now that I think about it was also a time where games had to try new things because the target market hadn’t exploded in volume yet as well
