Great Game, Worthless Remaster
I will start off by saying that I still own my physical copy from back in the day that plays very well inside of DOSBox. I bought this remaster for it's improved sound quality, graphics, and commentary by developers. Well I'm a bit disappointed. To start I noticed that there are some sound glitches in some scene transitions where the sound should bleed over into the next scene but instead is chopped off. It's nothing major, but it makes the game feel unpolished especially when DOSBox can do the job right. Second there is the remastered graphics. They just don't belong. The characters look incredibly refined while everything else just gets a resolution boost and looks really drab. Also any scene that had any animation to it like rolling clouds is now gone. Everything is lifeless and static. The road scenes and levels run at about 15 frames per second like the old video footage in the original used to and the landscape which is now fully rendered looks terrible. The remastered music and sounds are nowhere near as good as the original. The remastered voices are excellent as they are nice and clean. The commentary by the developer is very low quality in both sound and content. The good news is that you can pick and chose which features of the remaster you want on. I chose the original graphics, music and sounds, and remastered voices. The bad is if you already own the game like I do, there really isn't anything here for you. The other bad thing is that you don't get the original CD version of the game so you can play it in either DOSBox or SCUMMVM if you want to. This should have been included especially since DOSBox and SCUMMVM do a much better job at running the original which didn't even need remastering in the first place. The bottom line is if you own this game already, don't buy it. If you've never played this game before, definitely buy it.
Hilft dir das weiter?
