Yahtzee: There was an artistry to the other one. There was much more determination to the actions in the 2-D animation. Once you were in an animation you were committed to it, is my point. But in this one, you can just faff, fluff, flap about in and out of animations as you please. I think that's the essence of it: It's 'cause they're bending over backwards to be accessible to even the most ten-thumbed of player.

"Buying HD remakes is the cancer killing the industry, period. You're sending the message that it's okay for publishers to put out inferior "fix it later" products and milk games with restricted content.

"Long ago, we looked upon a foreboding sky. The memory of the star that threatened us all burns eternal in our hearts. In its wake came an age of silence. Yet with each fond remembrance, we knew those encountered were not forgotten. That someday we would see them again. Perhaps it was no more than wishful thinking. But after the long calm, there are now the beginnings of a stir. The reunion at hand may bring joy. It may bring fear. But let us embrace whatever it brings. For they are coming back. At last, the promise has been made."
