A superb remaster. Gyro control, new visuals, and button mapping are great and customizable. There are a handful of really fun concept photos & videos from development, but the most impressive add is a playable Demo from CES, which is a full-scale explorable Star Destroyer. The devs were wild for doing so, but it was a comprehensive display of the game's achievements in FPS control and verticality.
This is the first time I was able to get through the main campaign after some failed starts with the original game some years ago. The level design has a really good flow, with a balance of stop-and-think puzzle areas and straightforward run and gun segments. Player movement is swift enough that you can backtrack and cover unexplored parts of the map in seconds so I didn't get too frustrated when stumped.
As a Star Wars fan it's a treat to see the source material for the Dark Trooper storyline.
One knock I can give the game is how absurdly loud the application is upon booting, but this is a very common problem with emulated titles on modern consoles.
