First and the foremost verdict: A game like Sanitarium was never created before and no other adventure game could ever reach half of the power of this game over its players, even after years from its launching.

Yes, the graphics and the sounds of the new games are enhanced now, but the story, the gameplay of Sanitarium has a unique power... Just like living in a dream... You can even feel the chill and inhale the scent of the neverending "dim" atmosphere... It reels you in... Even in the world of high-def 3D games...
A heart-wrenching story blended with horror but nothing cheesy... The gore, the blood, the disturbance has a dignity... A story which makes you afraid, disturbed, but enchanted, at the same time, all the time...
A book, which you would want to stay awake for 48 hours and finish completely, is very hard to find...
So is an adventure game which you would want to finish in one session...
Today, if Sanitarium gets re-created, it will be a legend, once again, even if it cannot have this new multiplayer online marketing security tactics...
Finally... I strongly suggest you buy the legend... The price is hilarious when compared to what you'll get... There are only a few adventure games in the history of gaming, like Sanitarium...
