Besides a few small QoL improvements and very beautiful visuals, there isn't much to write home about this remake. The censorship and added enemies are absolutely pointless and they remove a part in the war chapter that honestly did not need to be taken out of the game. All of these critisisms and the fact this remake came out less than 5 years after the original release detract from the remake. Characters sound more soulless than they did in the original game too. Given the multiplayer servers are dead, I cannot properly compare it between the N64 version's multiplayer but this version's multiplayer may actually be better in my opinion based on what I have seen. Unless you've played the original and are curious to try this remake (I was for the longest time), I suggest playing the original game instead whether it is through Rare Replay or emulated.
