Good gameplay, horrible voices/dialogue
Longtime huge fan of the original, was looking forward to this one. The engine and gameplay are generally excellent, the best part of this remake and certainly factors better and more accessible than the original. Faithfulness to the original is also generally very good (especially early in the game, though...annoyingly enough this aspect drops off quite a bit in the late game stages). On the surface and initial play impressions, this remake seems excellent. However. The voice acting is...atrocious. Just awful. Not sure if the devs just voiced the game themselves (always a bad idea/outcome) or used neighborhood buddies or what, but the end result is that the voice acting is so amateurish that it ruins the story immersion. Add to that the fact that a lot of dialogue has been altered (and in almost all cases, made a lot worse - the writing of the original was truly excellent). It can be surprising how badly this ruins the play experience for such a story-driven game. A shame really...with better voice acting and dialogue, this could have been a master remake. Other negatives include the new portrayal of cyberspace. As annoying as the original's could sometimes be, this remade version may actually be worse. And, I think they fell down on the late-game finale sequences. There was a lot of potential for improvement, but blown...the original's late-game is much better. PROS: Excellent engine, much improved gameplay over the original. CONS: Very poor, amateurish voice acting and dialogue alterations. Cyberspace and end-game sequences are generally worse than the original.
