I thought this was the original version plus 80 new levels. Have the classic (retro) levels been changed ? The screen shots do look very different that the game I remember, but I thought those were shots of the new levels.
The levels are the same, but the graphics and animations are almost completely different -- which was probably a requirement to avoid Nintendo pimp slapping them again.
Giana Sisters! Great! One awesome part of the game was always the soundtrack.. What does "inspired by" mean? Is it not the real deal???
Definitely a modernized version of the original. They should have hired Machinae Supremacy to do the soundtrack! PS: You can hear the original music (and lots of other great chiptunes) in your iPhone for free with SID Player! Bonus Points: Try using SID Player to identify the other games in the beginning of the MS version of the GGS theme!
I'd definitely get this. A new DS copy goes for too much and it hasn't been localized here (I mean sold here domestically without importing).
still waiting for this to appear in europe. normally we get the games about 11-12 hours later than NZ witch is....about now! WHERE IS IT
GT Racing was at midnight, looks like this will be the same for us UK'ers too. Buying once it hits also.
I have to grab some sleep now but really quickly, GREAT nostalgia with the music style. Game is beautifully polished and slick. Gameplay is smooth. Early levels (I played just three) are VERY easy but with so many levels, I'm sure this ramps up later. Definitely got a more addictive feel to it than anything similar I've played on the iPhone... looking forward to my commute tomorrow morning now, so I can give this a really good go! Anyway, have fun all - sleep for me! Cheers, Jamie.
First impressions: Fantastic animations, great graphics in general, controls work well, the music is nice. Overall: a wonderful atmosphere. The only annoying thing: the crystal collecting sound is WAY TOO loud, really annoying. At least, give me a volume controle option (music and sound effects separated), but I really have to play on 50% volume in general, which is pitty. Besides that, it's one of the most polished platformers. Need to play more now.
Wow, loving this game, so many memories! The game feels perfect! Graphics are top notch and controls feels great! For those not familiar, think of those 2 plumber brothers and you get an idea of what this game is about. Nostalgia...
