For December, I had accepted the fact that I won't hit my target of 40 video games. In fact I didn't even beat last year's record if I got my notes right. But what I did decide to do was go for the ones that I had wanted to play immediately and that was the classic PlayStation games that were available on PlayStation 5. These are all short in length but still proper games at the end of the day and I had a good time with each one.

The 2023 '40' Games Goal:
#22 - Jet Moto (Jet Racer) (PlayStation via PS5)
Acquired: November 2023 (via PS3)
The first PlayStation classic that I decided to play is Jet Moto, also known as Jet Racer in Europe. This is a racing game released in 1996 by developer SingleTrac, the folks behind Twisted Metal 1 & 2, where you drive a floating jet and it's an intriguing title.
The concept is pretty simple, you race to reach the finish line but this is no easy game in all honestly. Jet Moto has some complicated controls and gameplay as your bike is rather sensitive, so if you don't angle your vehicle correctly you will swerve off the edge and even hit the various obstacles that are in your way, like trees or props. You can even hit the checkpoint header in one of the maps which is pretty funny to see.
The game offers different modes, from a regular race and tutorials, to tournaments and elimination rounds. As you race the tournaments you do unlock more maps to play and add more variety to the repetitiveness of the game. The maps even have hidden paths which I found one by accident. Also on the maps are a lot of steep curves which sounds like a challenging but your vehicle can grapple onto a pole so you can swerve around the corner and maintain your speed which is a good feature for a game like this.
For a short game I did like what the game provides. The rag doll when your character hits an object was entertaining even if its annoying but the emulator's rewind feature does help for situations like this. While I don't necessarily enjoy every single map, the level design was pretty solid and the grapple concept was cool.
The trophies for this game are pretty simple. Race every map, win each type of mode and play a certain number of races. I got the Platinum trophy after about 2 hours of playtime. Because the game does make you swerve numerous times I did take breaks here and there to avoid any form of motion sickness.
Also a bonus mention - normally when it comes to re-releases onto emulators that sometimes licensing and banners tend to get updated due to expirations but this release on PlayStation 5 has kept the advertisements which is a surprise.
Overall Jet Moto was a fun little game and I recommend giving it a shot on the PlayStation Plus service if you have that. I bought the game on the PlayStation 3 store to get the PS5 version for free.

#23 - Jumping Flash! (PlayStation via PS5)
Acquired: June 2022 (April 2021 via PS3)
The second PlayStation classic is an early launch game from 1995 with Jumping Flash! by Japanese developers Exact and Ultra, with some assistance from Japan Studio. This is a platformer where your goal is to find some carrots on each stage before proceeding to the next, and along the way you can even find a special stage to play around with.
Despite being a launch game, the visuals look pretty good and runs fairly well. The controls for the camera is my only major issue because it's not aged well, and part of that is due to how this came before the analog sticks were introduced. I did enjoy the first-person perspective and when you jump around your shadow helps with guiding you to where you are at on the map.
The enemies have a good variety but I tend to avoid them as it's easy to dodge. That said you do have the option to shoot them when needed. They do respawn though from what I have seen. The boss fights were neat and one of them I did have an issue with at first until I realised that jumping and falling can do tons of damage to them. The final boss was a challenge as they tend to run away and hit you at various angles but overall it was a good time.
For a short game Jumping Flash! was pretty fun, and they did patch it to include trophy support which is completing the game and getting all of the collectibles and extra stages completed. I bought the game on the PlayStation 3 store back when the store was planned to be closed, so the PS5 version was available for free.

#24 - I.Q.: Intelligent Qube (Kurushi) (PlayStation via PS5)
Acquired: June 2023 (via PS3)
Next is a game that I am very familiar with but never managed to play and that was I.Q.: Intelligent Qube, also known as Kurushi in Europe. Developed by G-Artists Inc. (PoPoLoCrois) in 1997, the game is a very fun puzzle experience.
In fact knowing about the series I was worried it would be too complicated but in reality it is a lot simpler than it looks and the video tutorials were handy to learn how the game's mechanics works. The idea is that you need to get rid of the cubes in front of you before they crush you or they fall off the edge behind you. You highlight a block and when the cube lands on it, you press a button to make it disappear.
There are three types of cubes. The regular grey cubes are the ones you can remove as per normal, then there's colourful ones where if you highlight and remove it it will also highlight all of the squares around it which extends even further if another colourful cube is caught in the mix. Then you have the black cubes which are the ones you want to avoid highlighting and capturing. You can highlight a cube and let the cube go past it, but capturing black cubes will result in your path behind you losing space which is what you want to avoid.
And to mention again, when you highlight blocks, it will stay there for as long as you want it to be before pressing the button to remove it, even if its going to take about 5-10 more seconds to get the right cubes. This tactic is useful for situations where the black cubes are in the way before getting the right combination.
The game adds more challenge to the mix for each stage as it adds more columns to the mix. I was able to get through roughly 80-85% of the game without having to use the rewind feature just so that I don't end up getting any rows behind me removed. The trophies for this game is essentially finish the stages which is fine, and if you want more challenge the second game is also available on PlayStation 5 (which is PAL only as it wasn't released in North America).
Overall Kurushi was a lot of fun and took a few hours to finish. I highly recommend playing this game if you like to try out a classic PS1 puzzle to play next.

#25 - Ape Escape (PlayStation via PS5)
Acquired: June 2023 (via PS3)
I've played an Ape Escape game before when I was younger and I believe it was Ape Escape 2, but I never owned it, only rented it. The closest that I got to owning an Ape Escape game was with Eye Toy: Monkey Mania on the PlayStation 2. So being able to play the original Ape Escape was a treat and its neat to see Sony bringing it back as a Classic title for PlayStation 5 was appreciated especially as the first three games were not added onto the Classics line-up on PlayStation 3 in the west (Japan got them at least). The second game is on PlayStation 4 via the PS2 on PS4 line-up but is only the PAL version.
So how do I feel about the original 1999 Ape Escape game from Japan Studio after all of these years. I felt the game held up pretty well and had a fun time going through each level. The game uses the analog sticks a lot and part of that is to showcase PlayStation's DualShock controller and in most cases it works really well, except that I had struggled a lot with the boats.
I have been told that I wasn't controlling the boats properly but I do think they are messy regardless (I also kept spinning in circles which is funny not going to lie), and while the idea works the execution I felt doesn't age well. Controlling the tank later in the game weren't too bad though. Besides those two, the rest of the controls works fairly well and I got used to how the mechanics work.
The game has a ton of gadget variety to capture the apes, from an RC Car, slingshot, dash hoop and the most powerful one which isn't available until you finish the normal ending of the story - the magic punch. Each gadget has a tutorial stage before you are able to use them in the levels which is handy to learn how they work. Much like a lot of platformer games, you won't be able to 100% the levels as soon as you enter them because a lot of apes are not accessible due to not having the right gadget available. Alongside the apes in each level are gold coins which you can collect to unlock some mini-games which involve ski racing and even a punch-out.
I didn't go for 100% completion in this game but I was able to get over 100 apes and over 40 gold coins that qualify for the Platinum trophy. If you want to get the best ending in the game you'll need to find all of the apes in each level. It's fairly lengthy at about 8 hours spent on the normal route in general so there's enough value here to enjoy.

#26 - Twisted Metal (PlayStation via PS5)
Acquired: November 2023
After a brief break I started Twisted Metal, the second SingleTrac game in this backlog to play, released in 1995. The Twisted Metal franchise is one that I am familiar with but much like Ape Escape I never played them. I did consider the PlayStation 3 instalment but decided to focus on the classics that Sony added earlier in the year. I did attempt to get the games on PlayStation 3 but when they were added onto modern platforms it corrupted the listing on PS3's store so I had to go to support to fix that and rebuy them from PS5.
Twisted Metal is a vehicular combat game where you control a vehicle and destroy every enemy vehicle in your map across multiple stages. Each stage adds an extra vehicle enemy to battle and eventually you'll land on the final stage which has a big enemy type that is challenging to beat.
Despite its concept and age, Twisted Metal is actually really surprisingly challenging to play because of how much damage you can take, which carries over into the next stage adding more difficulty to the mix. The benefit of this game however, is that it does not punish you for using password codes to continue where you left off. For me this is essentially like restarting a stage with full health than making the enemies easier to beat. Heck the game does provide difficulty levels but the only difference is how many lives you receive which doesn't add much.
Twisted Metal does have credit for having different variety of designs and stats for each vehicle that's available for you to control. Some deal better damage, some have better pacing and some use specific weapons that can be close-range or easy to use. In addition each vehicle's stages has different enemies to fight which makes each experience different and better paced. I also loved how some cars just fall off the edge at random though.
I used the password method for the trophies so that I can replay the final stage for each character which can take ages as there's a lot of vehicles to use. The progress was roughly about almost 3 hours get the Platinum trophy, but overall I found Twisted Metal to be a solid start to a franchise for Sony. I have heard the second game is a big improvement so I'm curious to see how that's done.

#27 - Hot Shots Golf (Everybody's Golf) (PlayStation via PS5)
Acquired: June 2023
From the Japanese studio that brought you the Shining Force games, Mario Golf and Golden Sun comes the first instalment in the Everybody's Golf franchise, also known in North America as Hot Shots Golf. For an old game, this was a lot of fun to play.
This game holds up pretty well on PlayStation 5, with a wide variety of characters and courses you can play and beat. The controls are pretty solid and the rewind feature from the emulator is your best friend here due to the challenge and RNG the game throws in your face.
Speaking of RNG, this is the game's biggest problem because its so random that it makes the idea of reaching a hole in one or an Albatross extremely low in chance because of the positioning of your ball but also the wind direction which changes for each time you enter the course. Despite that though, the courses themselves I appreciated its design and the AI you go up against is pretty decent as it's not annoying but not dumb either, though some do end up hitting their ball into the water from time to time.
I was able to unlock all of the characters at a steady pace and unlock the later courses via the tournament without too much grinding required. I will admit that I did use practice mode to get the Albatross and Hole in One trophies. I did try to get them both on the regular courses but the RNG made it near impossible in a lot of my shots (they were very close but wasn't doable). I managed to get the Platinum trophy after roughly 11 hours.
Much like Twisted Metal, I have heard the next game is much better on the performance so I look forward to it.

#28-#30 - Syphon Filter, Syphon Filter 2 & Syphon Filter 3 (PlayStation via PS5)
Acquired: June 2023 (via PS3)
At this point I caught a bad cold which was absolutely frustrating because I had finally taken the time off work that I needed. Miraculously I was just well enough to play some more classic PlayStation games and to wrap up the year I decided to play all three games in the Syphon Filter trilogy released in 1999, 2000 & 2001 by Bend Studio (Bubsy 3D).
Again like the others in this backlog, I've been fully aware of the Syphon Filter franchise but I never understood why it was popular. After playing these games I can definitely see the appeal that it brings because it's a great addition to the PlayStation backlog even with its unique control scheme.
Syphon Filter is an action stealth third person shooter game where you control a few characters, mainly our main lead Logan, as he kills enemies, completes objectives and makes sure the job is done in his spy adventure. The first game came out after Metal Gear Solid and before more 007 games were being released so it was left under the radar by a lot of people but did well enough to keep the franchise going.
The controls is interesting because it is unusual. You have the D-Pad/Left Analog stick to move your character forward, backwards and sideways. Then you have L2 & R2 to strife side-ways as you shoot against other enemies. Then there's L1 for a first-person view to get a better accurate shot, while R1 is a lock-on which is fine but a lot of enemies tend to have armour which makes this idea rather useless. In addition to shooting, you can also perform a barrel roll and use the Select button to switch weapons. In the first game I struggled on the first mission because there's a flashlight that you needed to use which can only be accessed in the menu and not in the select section which was rather annoying. I have noticed that the lock-on is rather delayed for shooting so it does make some moments frustrating.
I do think the first mission does setup the controls and concept of the Syphon Filter games very well, and in general I had a great time with each one. Each game does have their ups and downs interestingly. I found the stealth to be decent but in a lot of cases it can be a pain in the neck. The weapon variety is really cool and I love how the weapons and armour stay on the ground on the level so you can backtrack and pick them up without having to worry about them disappearing. The enemies do respawn when backtracking which is annoying and you can easily force yourself to backtrack because you didn't fulfil an objective.
Each game has some really well done level designs. In the first game, I did find the ending missions to be very reactive (i.e you need to be quick) because you can easily get killed if you aren't careful. The second game improves on its storytelling narrative though it does fall flat in its final few missions, but I found the constant use of having to perform headshots on enemies rather annoying. The third game tries to provide a balance but there were some missions that really frustrated me especially the one in the desert where you are defending a vehicle and enemies randomly appear to which if you aren't fast enough you can get a game over immediately.
The Rewind feature is your saving grace for these games due to how ******** some of the 'mission failed/parameter failed' notices you get throughout.
The graphics hold up pretty well and I thought it was interesting how the first game had some mouth movement, the second game didn't and then the third game went for CG cutscenes. UI and everything else wasn't updated so it does feel like you're playing the same game at times. The story was intriguing. The first game felt too fast paced so it was easy to get lost, the second game improved on the pacing but it falters in its last few chapters, and the third game felt like an oddity from the others due to the direction they went with its storytelling. Despite the story, I did like Logan and Lian as characters that you follow throughout. Somewhat reminds me of Mission Impossible at times. The voice acting has aged but at least they tried.
That said, despite my issues I am still very much interested in what else the Syphon Filter franchise has to offer and I got the Platinum trophy for each game in the series. The first game took me 7 hours to finish the story, the second game was much longer at 8 hours, while the third game is shorter at about 6 hours. The trophies are mostly just finishing the story which is fine by me.
All three games I bought on the PlayStation 3 store to get them for cheaper as they will provide the PlayStation 5 version for free.
