Hard to dislike what is already such a singularly perfect rail shooter. Sadly, where this remaster of sorts fails its original is just about every facet (save for thee untouched OST) of what made thee 1995 classic so inspired.

Graphically an immediate downgrade. Nothing packs a punch. Accidental abstractions called "enemies" thanks to chunked pixelated models are no longer left to thee imagination of an already imaginative game. Sky soaring blurs are now corporeal; less fascinating. Spires of missiles are missing those high impacts crunches & rattling bolts sound like pea shooters.

Less was inarguably more, but that much you already knew.
