Pocketnova Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2012 2,346 0 0 #18 Pocketnova, May 15, 2013 Surprisingly, this looks like the one I'll pick up first, if I get any. Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #19 Gabrien, May 16, 2013 Wasn't sure how well something like this would age, and after having played it I'm...still not sure. Essentially a button masher, with depth so subtle most won't notice it's there. Back in the day the graphics and animation kept you playing regardless, but today?.. Interestingly enough something still kept me playing a good deal longer than I expected to for my first go. Don't know really. Bit of a curiosity this, worth pondering. (Which also means, worth playing.) currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #20 currymutton, May 16, 2013 Status: downloading. Statement: heck, not exactly button-smashing game IIRC, if the reimagined thing did not change the gameplay (I am not saying "dumb down"), I would not be getting this one already.
