As someone who owned the CD version and beat it probably 20 or so years ago now; I say without reservation that it's a great remake. The things it changed, and the things it kept are almost all positive. The only issue I have is the "game over" screen. This is only an issue in a handful of places, depending on the difficulty, but it having to watch it every time you fall to a grenade spewing boss really slows down the pace. That is the only complaint I have, though. The texures look pixelated, but I guess that's an aesthetic choice, so I'll give it a pass. Overall, an excellent update of an excellent game.
Ugly graphics, and some questionable weapon skill mechanics didn't really slow down this game. It is one of my favorites.
