- Not just harder for the sake of it
- New ideas for missions and 'level design' are well done and engaging, lots of fun new twists
- A real plot sequel to the original game that moves things forward meaningfully instead of treading water or just being random missions
- New units and skills, while a bit skimpy, fill holes in the original palette
Feels more like the second half of the original than something tacked on or made for a quick buck, and that's probably the highest goal something like this should be aspiring to.
