I owned this when it came out on ps2 years ago and in my opinion it holds up visually. It may not have the high fidelity that some may be accustomed to but in comparison to other titles from this era it has aged well. In terms of the port to pc, the pc controls function well with the camera as well as the celestial brush being handled by the mouse. I wouldn't say its much better than with a thumb stick from a controller however and the brush spells in general work well they are still as finicky as i remember. Something that did surprise me was the implementation of the action prompts, smoothly transitioning from keyboard and mouse instructions to both xbox and ps4 control prompts seamlessly on the fly.

In terms of the game over all, very little has been changed, the game being preserved almost exactly as it was on the ps2 aside from a visual upscale. The game is stunningly beautiful, even more so now that the blur that permeated almost everything in the original has been addressed. As someone who enjoyed this in its hay day i am very pleased to see its been respected in its port to modern platforms and highly recommend it.
