It's a good looking remake which runs just as greatly but that's the only purely positive thing I can say about it. Boss battles, mission design, level design everything is just so painfully dated, it hurts. It's grindy, side missions sometimes depend on luck and I can even say the same about some of the main ones as well, boss battles are painfully unbalanced therefore unfair, stealth is there and can be fun during some moments but it's just barebones so doesn't offer much, saucer camera and controls can actively work against you, you are weirdly underpowered which makes wreaking havoc -AKA having some fun- basically a non-possibility unless you work your *ss off for some upgrades... No amount of raunchy, silly jokes, fun parodies or cheeky references can make up for these faults in my opinion. For example I can very well tolerate all the dialogue being left untouched therefore being in low quality since maybe they didn't have the budget to re-record those but something I can't show the same amount of tolerance is trying the same level over five times to finally beat it because I got lucky or having to repeat a mission involving over three to four steps just because developers lack the design sensibilities to put in a simple checkpoint after one of the steps. Don't recommend it and since I bought the second one as well before playing this, I dread what waits for me in that game. Fingers crossed for a better experience.
