An improvement over a disastrous debut

The Good
What appreciate most are the simple set of controls, and the expressive video cut-scenes that occur after E.T. completes a theme planet.

The Bad
For an adventure game released in the early 2000s, isometric gameplay seems outdated as 3D games were already all the rage. Isometric gameplay can also be confusing to new gamers, though getting used to them shouldn't too long.

Though E.T. can run, some enemies, such as wolverine-like one, are hard to outrun. This can complicate things like if you open a door but only have a few seconds to get to it.

The Bottom Line
When E.T. made his video game debut in an Atari console in the 1980s, that game was maligned because of detection flaws due to tight production schedule. Nearly two decades later, an E.T. game was released for the PS1. Although this P1 game isn't a great game for its system, it is certainly a significant improvement over the character's first game.
