Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
55 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
The original game was astounding for its level of detail and realism, and the sharper resolution and reflections/lighting in this remake only improve it.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
18 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
A game that kept the physics accurate while allowing itself to use digital presentation to convey the gameplay more vividly and with more clarity, as Zen does these days, would be easier to recommend whole-heartedly.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
Most of its soundtrack never felt repetitive no matter how many times it loops itself.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
11 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
I was very happy to find that the music has been faithfully restored as well, even better without the old quality/crackle issues and CD music-loading lag of the original.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
5 of 199 sampled reviews raised it
That being said the game is very challenging, it's not easy by any means but that's part of why I love it so much, I would attribute a lot of my early skill in learning the basics to it's difficulty, it may also just be preference, I tend to gravitate towards shot making games over flowy games.
