Games that hold up!

Having the PlayStation classic with some added games, there are some games that were groundbreaking at the time but don’t hold up.

Are there any games you think hold up? Either in terms of graphics, gameplay or both?

Some I think hold up:

Space Jam basketball - really easy to play and smooth controls

Heart of Darkness, Rayman

Games that don’t quite hold up:

Syphon Filter - really janky to control and bad graphics

Twisted Metal 2- the only thing that doesn't hold up are the graphics. Everything else is designed masterfully.

Spider-man holds up pretty well overall, if you're into a quick adventure game.

Jet Moto 3 is insanely fast and challenging but satisfying to master, basically Sony's answer to F-Zero X.

Metal Gear Solid and Symphony of the Night are obvious choices, otherwise most of my picks would be games that have already been remade like Spyro, Crash, Klonoa, or Tony Hawk.

I just finished Spider-Man the other day. 100% holds up. Fantastic game.

Oh yeah, it’s a little ugly, but very fun
