Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The developers chose to stay entirely true to the originals without making massive changes to the core gameplay, map design, or UI, and that is definitely a good thing.

28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters

Characters are expressive, environments are colourful and familiar locations contain far more detail than the original hardware could display.

Controls

Yes, some of the levels will occasionally make you want to throw your controller straight through your screen, and going for the 100% achievements is a one-way ticket to a mental asylum.
