This was... Painful to write.

I really loved the original game. Sure it was a buggy mess on newer systems, but it was positively dripping with fun, music and cultural references aplenty.

Now they've revamped it, and fixed it up. It runs great on my modern system.

But they've completely sucked the soul out of it. By removing much of the music during gameplay the whole thing just feels stale and lifeless. A series of setpieces that don't flow, or make sense. I didn't realise until playing the reboot how much the music had tied everything together.

Really a shame.
