Absolutely adored the original and this one is just as good if not better. The mechanics are definitely different which took some getting used to but being able to extend blue flame makes it all worth it. The visual upgrade is nice and they really nailed the feeling of going fast, I'm not sure if you actually move faster in the remake but it sure felt like it. The new graphics do reduce visual clarity on some tracks, like Hot Air Skyway having this fog that make its harder to see the upcoming track, but overall it was a pleasure to look at. Awful microtransactions aside, a great remaster.
