I'd say mechanically 3 is on par with 2, perhaps even a little bit better. However, I hate the 3D models used for this remake. The pixel art on the other two remakes is incredible and kept a lot of the charm from the original versions. This remake feels like it was made for mobile phones and they ported it to PSP to get some more money out of it. It's not bad, it just feels lifeless compared to the sprites of the last two games.
