Lego rock raiders, the ps1 version and PAL version to be spefic, the usa version is even rougher in some parts, kinda feels like beta version, but anyway.

>shitty graphics, your character is tiny and everything looks pixelated mess and samey
>controls are confusing at first, and vehicles has weird tank controls
>jumping has cooldown
>characters has their own special skills but are meaningless in most cases
>one character can zoom out the view further than others, but it has glitch that when it goes back, it zooms in more than before using it, some other character spefic skills dont even work or do anything
>breaking rocks takes forever, and its not always clear which ones you can break, and then some requires spefic vehicle too, which are sometimes hard to tell even with the radar thing
>minimap that is just bunch of dots and useless at most time
>some missions has very strict time limit, especially for going gold medal
>veeeeery long loading times, especially on real ps1
>co-op missions are even worse since its not split screen so you cant leave the screen so its easy to miss jump and fall into lava/water and die
>if you die, you lose that character until you beat some missions with others, so its possible to get stuck on the slow character that cant beat some time restricted missions
>in USA version it forces you to use spefic characters and do missions in certain order, while in PAL you can choose whoever you want and whichever mission you want (I haven't completed the USA version so idk if its just the couple first ones)

but:
>awesome soundtrack
>the exploration is fun
>that atmosphere of exploring unknown planet while gathering resources and avoiding enemies
>once you learn the controls and its quirks its not that bad
