This game is 5 stars but this port certainly isn't! The biggest selling point of this game is the gorgeous backgrounds. Some of them are much higher resolution than the Gamecube version. Some aren't. Many are in between at completely random and arbitrary changes in level of detail. The lighting engine seems to be quite a bit different, the difference is minor but I'd say mildly noticeable and just a little worse compared to the original release. The new models and textures are nice, though it's weird to have costumes where Chris and Jill have different face structures.

I do like the added difficulty levels, this game is ruthless for series newcomers. The new analog controls are a necessary evil for getting more people to try this game I understand, but I urge every new player to try using the d-pad and learning tank controls (it makes this game and others like it so much better) even if it feels tough at first.
