You know how everyone hates Mario 64 DS for remaking a game designed for a control stick on a console with a d-pad? Well, how about remaking a game designed for two control sticks on a console with only one stiff nub, and half the buttons to boot? This alone ruins the game. Catching monkeys went from super fluid to super tedious and clunky. Even the movement speed and jumping are so much more sluggish compared to the original. I guess the updated presentation is technically an improvement, but it lacks any of the charm the original had. Compare the monkeys on the boxart for both games and you'll see what I mean. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the worst remakes I've ever played. Not only are there no substantial improvements, but it actively ruins the experience you could be having. Oh, and the load times? They would make Sonic 06 blush.
