The Way Remastered Games Should Be Done
Pros: The new graphics are clear and vibrant, and as close to the originals as it's possible to be- it literally looks like someone hit one of those fictional 'enhance' buttons and the game became less pixelated. Everything from the original is there, with nothing cut or changed except the new interface, which is easy to use and can easily be swapped out for the old one if desired. The developers' commentary, while fairly short, is enjoyable and a good excuse to play through a second time. And if you prefer the original graphics or just want to experience the game as originally seen, there's an option to use those, too. As for the game itself, I hardly need to say that it's a classic, and while I prefer adventure fare like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, it's a fun, silly, well-designed, enjoyable game deserving of five stars. It's rarely laugh-out-loud funny, but you'll get a smile out of it. Cons: There are literally none. Other remakes like Broken Sword Director's Cut and Gabriel Knight 20th Anniversary should have gone this route instead of adding filler puzzles and dumbing down the game world.
