An ok remaster besides the bad ai upscaling for the cut scenes and the color saturation. The game plays better than the original. The rest of the game's problems are ones the original already had. I wish they went a tiny bit further with this remaster like allowing saving or a level select because this game is still as hard and unforgiving as the original. They also should have also given you the option to play the unaltered Dreamcast version which sadly in it's place is a "Retro Mode" which just crops the screen to 4:3 and is just the remaster with a crappy crt filter over it and the quality of life upgrades removed. I like this game and it's nice it gets to see the light of day outside of Japan but it was definitely a quick low budget remaster that deserved to have a little more time put into it.
